  That looks like a lot more effort than it's worth.  Are you sure you want to clean it?

  Electrolysis!
I'm as dirty as I look!

  I think it's just a chunk of iron. If you look at anything long enough you can see something that looks like a design.  Rusty items is kinda like cloud watching!  Lips Sealed
