o Clean Gas Chandeliers : If they are gilded, clean them in the same way as gilded picture frames ; if lacquered, dip a soft flannel into equal parts of vinegar and stale beer, and rub it over lightly. If the chimneys and globes are much dimmed, dip a paper into the spirits of wine

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
