Removing rust
Prepare a 10% citric acid solution in a bowl. Place the object to be cleaned (e.g. a key) in the solution over- night. A chemical reaction occurs between the citric acid and rust. Iron oxide (rust) is transformed into a colourless substance which then disappears.
- Never use citric acid on enamel, aluminum or marble or surfaces sensitive to acids.
- Not recommended for old coffee machines, washing machines, and kettles that have been furred up with limescale.
- Never use with bleach.
- Do not mix with other chemicals.
- Do not swallow.
- Once you've eliminated the rust, don't forget to prevent rust from coming back by treating your tool or object and storing it correctly.
