“So when cleaning it, you should be really careful not to use anything too abrasive that might damage the metal finish.
“I would advise using baking soda mixed with water to form a paste to remove any dirt or grime, as it is non-toxic.
“Be sure to rinse the area well after treating, and dry it with a microfibre cloth to prevent watermarks.”
Mixed with water, baking soda can also be used to clean aluminium pots and pans that have become grubby over time.
