    Try using bar keepers friend. You can always spray paint them.

      @Janet, that's why I said to "polish metals". If it's not metal, then no, it would not work. I'm sure Edna would realize that.

    I always use grease lightening on this type of thing when I'm not sure what it is made of for sure. My sister cleaned the smoke of a picture and it didn't even harm the print. So yeah that's my choice.
