Clean the rusted area gently with a soft cloth. Reapply a good quality household wax polish to protect the surface. Avoid placing in damp environments.
Screw won't tighten securely
Check if the pilot hole is too large. If the wood is soft, consider using a slightly longer screw or wood filler/dowel to create a firmer anchor point.

- Suitable for use on wooden drawers and cabinet doors.
- Not suitable for bathrooms or rooms with high humidity or unheated environments due to the risk of rust.
Care & Maintenance:
- Prevent Rusting: Cast iron is prone to rusting. Regular maintenance with a household wax polish is required to help prevent rust formation.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Periodic Waxing: Reapply wax polish periodically, especially after cleaning, to maintain protection.
