Remove Rust

• Pour salt on the rusted item and then apply lemon juice or lime juice on top. After two hours, wipe off the mixture with a soft cloth.
  
  

Considerations

• For thoroughly rusted items, combine one part salt to four parts lemon juice in a large plastic container. Submerge the rusted piece in the mixture for a few minutes. Scrub with a nylon brush to remove any leftover traces of the rust.
  
  

Expert Insight

• Wipe down the item with the rind of the lemon or lime, recommends Eartheasy. Rub the rind over the piece after you remove it from the solution and finish wiping it down.
