SUMMARY:
- If the item has a thick layer of rust, you can start with a hardcore tool like the wire brush. As the rust gets scraped off, switch to a gentler tool like sandpaper or steel wool so that you don’t scratch the item’s surface.
- Soak the item in white vinegar for at least 10 minutes. Using vinegar is a great method if you have small items that can be soaked like earrings, screws, knives, and hand tools.
- The awesome thing about using lemon is that it also works to get rid of rust stains on fabrics: clothes, car seats, rugs, and so on.
- The peas have a high acidic content, so they’ll do the trick. Once the water is cool enough for your skin, dip a piece of cloth into the water, and use it to scrub the rusted areas.
- It might not be a very common household ingredient, but you can find it easily at most grocery stores and pharmacies. As you’ve been learning, acid dissolves rust, and that’s what citric acid will do, giving your old objects that shiny, brand-new look.
- Baking soda is a type of salt, which is why it’s called sodium bicarbonate. It’s mildly abrasive, so it’s a top-notch product for cleaning rust.
- If you have an old potato that was headed for the trash, try using it to remove rust before discarding it.
- If the rust is on a car’s bumper or a motorcycle, soaking a piece of crumpled aluminum foil in Coke and scrubbing the bumper with it can work wonders.
