Cleaning railings is an important part of home maintenance. To do this, identify the type of railing and start by wiping it down with a damp cloth and non-abrasive soap. If it’s made of metal, finish off with a coat of wax and then use a soft brush and soapy water for detailing. Finally, rinse everything down with clean water, dry off immediately with a cloth or paper towel, and sit back in satisfaction.
