<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rufus@frockstarvintage, post: 4610284, member: 5939&quot;]Well now I had to go &amp; take another look &amp; see a little verdigris (green oxidation) on the back of the crystal piece, near the hinge. You’ll need to remove it prior to cleaning - it will eat the metal in time if left long enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>To clean, some use vinegar or even ketchup (which works because it contains vinegar &amp; has a consistency that stays put), still others use oil to soften it &amp; then brush or scrub away.</p><p><br /></p><p>Make sure to dry completely post-cleaning, as moisture &amp; humidity will bring it right back. A blow dryer or fan is great for drying.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once you’ve removed the green, you may be left with a darkened spot. Not a huge issue but one that should be mentioned if selling the piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>That should cover it. Of course we’d love to see it again post-clean![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
