Aluminum cleaner [/size][/font]
[font "Arial"][size 3]I have a recipe for an aluminum cleaner here
that will remove tarnish and greasy residue.
To make 8oz of cleaner you will need the
following [/size][/font][font "Arial"][size 3]
8 tablespoons of cream of tarter
8 tablespoons of baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
4 fl oz of white vinegar
4 tablespoons of soap flakes
Mix the cream of tartar and baking soda in a
medium sized bowl, add the vinegar and mix until
the mixture forms a soft paste. Add the soap
flakes and then transfer to a jar or bottle.
Label the container clearly.[/size][/font]
[font "Arial"][size 3]To use apply with a steel wool pad, then rinse
off with warm water. Store the mixture away from
children. It will keep for up to 2 years.
[/size][/font]
[font "Arial"][size 3]More advice
Cleaning your aluminum on a regular basis does
not have to be difficult. Just use two
tablespoons of cream of tarter to a quart of
water - boil the water and then let it cool. Use
this mixture to polish your aluminum when it
looks a little dusty, keeping it clean and great
looking![/size][/font]

[font "Arial"][size 3] [/size][/font] [font "Arial"][size 3]Cleaning Aluminum [/size][/font][font "Arial"][size 3]
[/size][/font]
[font "Arial"][size 3]Use mild a detergent and warm water when possible.
Alkalis, even baking soda, and especially stronger alkalis
discolor aluminum. If trying a stronger cleaner, pre-test
on a hidden place to be sure it cleans satisfactorily and
does not damage the aluminum. Always follow directions on
the product label for aluminum, EXACTLY.
Be cautious about using abrasive cleaners (scouring
powders, steel wool, abrasive polishes, etc.) as they may
permanently scratch aluminum; painted or anodized aluminum
surfaces will be permanently damaged. Do not clean
aluminum when it is too hot to touch, or if temperatures
go below 50 F.
