How do you get 30 years of build up off cabinet door handles?

Question

un known metals, never been cleaned, at least 30 years old

Answer 1

I've used this stuff for about a year and just like it's name it's "Awesome". I can spray my stove and within minutes can remove any stain or any build up. It's fantastic. I also saw someone on ebay sell it much cheaper. Check ebay to see if you can get a deal. I purchased it here in L.A. for $1.00 at the .99 cent store.

Good old Coke. It'll take rust and crud buildup off of just about any metal, hard plastic, etc.

Remove one handle, soak it in a plastic container with a can of Coke for several hours to test before doing the whole bunch. Just a light brushing with a hard bristle brush afterward will be all you should need.

I use Coke all the time for cleaning projects. Non-toxic and super-fast. I also haven't drank a drop since I first witnessed it take the rust off an old pipe! Yikes!

Answer 3

soak them in lacquer thinner, then polish...
