Very tarnished fireplace surround

tinas

An update, I got some bar keepers friend cream late last week. Robert dyas stocks it, 50p more than elsewhere but I was walking past it so didn't have to go out of my way.

It is amazing stuff, by far the best I've tried. It takes a bit of effort but my fireplace is coming up better than its looked for ages.

I was worried that it would tarnish after I'd cleaned it but no, as long as it's rinsed and dried it seems fine.

Thank you all for your advice

just to update in case it helps anyone else....

I can conform that the wd40 and fine grade wire wool method works, although it takes a LOT of elbow grease.
