To maintain the patina of your wrought iron pan stand, cleaning with clear, warm water and a dish brush is recommended. For stubborn residue, a stainless steel ring cleaner, a special scraper, or a salt and water paste are ideal tools, as they remove dirt without the use of chemical cleaners or damaging the patina. After cleaning, the metal should be completely dried and lightly rubbed with a special care paste for cast and wrought iron or a heat-resistant oil to preserve the protective film.
