I’ve acquired a dartboard. It was apparently sat outside throughout the prior tenant’s reign. It seems OK, other than mildew(?) on patches. I’m wondering what’s the best way to get it looking spick’n’span once more.

(FWIW, there were very nice darts there too, and I presume they need just a little Brasso to get rid of the rust?)
