To optimally care for your wrought iron wall-mounted coat rack, it should be regularly dusted with a soft, dry cloth or brush. If necessary, it can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth and mild soapy water, but must be dried thoroughly immediately to prevent moisture damage. To prevent rust and maintain its antique appearance, it is recommended to occasionally seal the metal with a thin layer of linseed oil or a special wax for wrought iron. Existing rust spots should be removed promptly with a soft brush or a cloth dampened with vinegar, and the area then re-protected.
