Hi readers! I have recently started upcycling an antique dresser and pulled off the old hardware to clean. I've looked around and as of now I plan on using the old hardware instead of buying new. Something about it makes me want to keep it. Therefore, cleaning was a necessary step. Here's what I did to give new like to this old hardware:
1. Fill a disposable container with hot water, dish soap, and a little white vinegar. Honestly, the brand doesn't matter. Also, I just eyeballed the amount. FYI: After soaking a few hours, the water will be disgusting. I know this probably goes without saying but PLEASE DON'T reuse this container for food.
2. After soaking a few hours, use a scrubber sponge to clean away the grime. Rinse with water and you are done.
Easy right? Here's a look after scrubbing. I like how they still look antique.
