Sewing machine oil for cleaning the exterior & oiling interior moving parts
Metal polish to clean the easily removable exterior parts like face plate, inspection tags, slides, feet
"0000" steel wool to gently polish up the handwheel if the metal polish isn't enough
Cotton swabs
Cotton string or yarn to use to clean the needle and presser bars with the metal polish (a dab of polish on the bar, thread string around behind, cross ends in front, and pull left, then right, repeat)
Caution: rubbing alcohol if you feel the underside mechanisms needs to be cleaned. Do not get on or near the top side of the machine! It will dissolve the clear coat and spoil your beautiful head.
You may want a few spool pin felts, a bobbin winder tire, perhaps a vintage ruffler and or other feet, and, of course, the Singer puzzle box for storing those feet.

Oh, have fun, bags! I love cleaning up machines.
