removing old paint from hardware

[low_delta]

Best method: remove the hardware and boil it with the baking soda for 15-20 minutes. Second choice: soak it for a few hours in boiling hot water. Third method: soak a washcloth in the hot mixture and drape it over the hardware. Watch. The paint peels right off.

Ranunculus passed this tip along, and I Googled it, finding the above.
