How to remove rust from cutlery: three simple but effective methods
Rust can be a constant problem with cutlery, but there are various methods to eliminate it effectively. SSPDaily has figured it out.
Baking soda
Baking soda is a versatile kitchen ingredient that can help remove rust from cutlery. To use this method, make a paste by mixing baking soda with water, then apply the paste to the rusty areas of the cutlery.
It should be left for several hours or overnight, after which the rusty areas are scrubbed off with a brush or sponge. The cutlery should be rinsed thoroughly and dried completely to prevent the rust from returning.
Soaking in vinegar
White vinegar is known for its acidic properties, which make it an effective rust remover. To use this method, fill a container with white vinegar and immerse the rusty cutlery in it.
The cutlery should be left in the vinegar for several hours or overnight. After soaking, you can use a brush or sponge to scrub the rusty areas, and then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Lemon and salt
A natural and eco-friendly way to remove rust from cutlery is to use a lemon and salt scrub. Cut the lemon in half and sprinkle salt on one side of the cut.
The salted lemon should be used to wipe the rusty areas of the cutlery. Citric acid, combined with the abrasive effect of salt, helps to loosen and remove rust. After scrubbing, rinse the cutlery and dry it completely.
