Well, Actually ALOT of scrubbing..This really old AT&T flange sign has some serious staining. I wanted to show how some common cleaners can take it off with minimal damage to sign. Keep in mind this sign has heavy porcelain which allows hard scrubbing. Now to start working on the other side  '<img'>

I apply navel jelly and let it sit for about 10-15 min then use 00 steel wool with a ceramic stove top cleaner called Cermabryte and scrub scrub scrub. Sore fingers but worth it.

Looks good, I have had the same luck on porcelain with "soft scrub" with bleach. But takes alot of scrubbing... The skin grows back though!

Well done!
Amazing how durable porcelain is when it comes to cleaning it.

Thanks for the tips.  I'll be picking up a barber chair in the next week, and was wondering how I was going to clean it.
