Glitter under the Grime: Citrus Juice to the Rescue


The decorative brass-work hanging from the lower roof, before it was cleaned. The dirt was accumulated over decades, primarily from pigeon droppings and exposure to the elements.

The metal surface is coated with citrus juice and left alone for a few days until the natural acid eats away all the filth, without causing any damage to the metal.

The brilliant, shining gold-plated surface is suddenly exposed for all humanity to appreciate after a simple hosing down with water.

The left section is yet to be cleaned, whereas the right section glitters after a few days’ work by one person.

Bamboo scaffolding put up for the cleaning work.
