When I was a young lad from about eight years old it was one of my jobs to clean the Metters Stove top once a week, with stove polish and lots of “elbow grease “ my Mother said .After I had finished the stove I would then clean the front and back wooden doorsteps with the same polish, but the steps needed lots of “extra elbow” grease because the shine had to be a real sparkle ,so as not to leave a trace of thick black polish that could be walked in on to the linoleum floors.
