The chrome can be cleaned with a metal cleaner such as Mothers.
Thanks, I really love it but it is not in running condition, I do not know the last time it was used. I have had it for over 20 years and before that it was in my grandmother's basement. I remember the day I brought it home in a little hatch back. My uncle was not very happy with me as he was alone carrying it up the stairs and putting in my little car and when I got home my son and I took it out, he can't understand what it means to me and how much I love it. It probably needs a good oiling and the belt for the treadle is broken and extremley dry, I don't know where to get it replaced & don't have an instruction manual for oiling it. Would love to try to use it some day.
