If corrosion has formed, or, more simply, rust, on any metal surface, it is not necessary to use expensive chemicals. We remove rust with our own hands in three simple and affordable methods. We carry out prevention of its occurrence.
How can you remove rust
Cleaning metal surfaces at home is easy enough.
1. Use a stiff brush and baking soda. Wet the rusty surface, then dust it with powder. Let it stand for about 10 minutes, and start rubbing with a slight pressure. With a little effort, you can easily deal with the problem.
2. Apply lemon and sea salt. To do this, cut the citrus in half, apply a couple of spoons of large particles to the cut, and start processing the surface. This method is harsher than the first, be careful not to damage the item.
3. Foil combined with acid. This method is convenient for tidying up small cutlery. To do this, apply lemon juice on aluminum foil crumpled into a ball and rub the objects well with it. Then place them in a vinegar solution and let stand until the corrosion is completely gone.
Now you know how you can remove rust from any surfaces or objects. But the more effective way is to simply prevent it from occurring.
We carry out preventive maintenance before and after rust
After you have cleaned the metal objects, take care to prevent plaque reoccurrence. These procedures should be carried out with new things as well.
1. Do not be lazy to wipe the dishes and kitchen surfaces after getting on them with water. It is she who provokes corrosion.
2. After removing the rust, treat the surface with a minimum amount of vegetable oil. It will create a film and prevent subsequent oxidation.
3. Choose enameled dishes and use them carefully, because it rusts on the chips of the enamel.
The best way to remove rust from dishes is up to you. But unlike store-bought products, homemade recipes are safe and environmentally friendly.
