Brushed silver and silver spindles cleaning

Hi Guys,

Your help would be appreciated please.

We had a new staircase put in and it has steel and brushed steel spindles.

Some of the spindles have a glue like substance on them and we can't get it off, any ideas?

So far we've tried cilit bang and Johnsons wipes to no available.

Cheers

Debs

    It's not a plastic coating to prevent them from scratching in transit? In which case it should just peel off.

    If not, try white spirit?
    For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong.
  • No it's not the plastic coating. I will have a go with white spirit.

    Cheers

    they are normally varnished in some way to protect them against tarnishing.
    check with the suppliers first, before you start to clean/polish it off.
    Get some gorm.
