I have a quick question for the group: the 1908 cast iron stove one of my historic houses is rusting. It is in a home without climate control, which I trying to improve, but in the meantime, what would be the best way to clean and preserve this? I can't afford a professional conservator, so I'm looking for a simple, cost effective method that I can do myself. Nothing fancy, just enough to keep the rust from doing too much damage. Thank you in advance for any advice you can give!
