Rusty Gem Irons
Dear Aunt Daisy, I should be so pleased tf you could help me with the following: My gem irons have become so very rusty. I have tried all sorts of things, but so’far have not been successful. The irons have not been used for a long time, as I was ill for some months. I hope you will be able to help me. Thank you in anticipation, } "Nellie," of North Auckland. 1 wonder if you tried this method. I asked an erfgineer, and he suggested that first you, rub in a good household oil which is good for helping to guard against rust. Then mix up some of this oil with an abrasive-like pumice powder, or fine sand. Then go all over the irons with this-it will take a bit of hard rubbing. Steel wool is a good thing to rub withor a pot mit. Then when the ust has gone, wash them well, dry them in the oven, and then heat them with some cooking oil or fat.
