Help cleaing Railroad Lantern

[ncsilverspider]

Hey guys!

I know it's been a while since I was last here, almost a year actually. A lot happened since then and things have been busy. Anyways, I have a 1920's Adams & Westlake Southern Railway lantern that I occasionally light up for special events. I'm going to be using it again in a couple months and really need to clean the soot buildup at the top. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to clean it?

Thanks for looking!

Soap and water. course sponge. I use Dawn (steal it from the kitchen).

 

[ncsilverspider]

should I pour the Dawn on the lantern itself or on the sponge?
