How to Remove Rust in 5 Minutes
1. Apply Lemon & Salt (or Vinegar & Baking Soda)
- Sprinkle salt over the rusty area.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salt until it soaks in.
- (Alternative: If using vinegar, make a paste with baking soda and vinegar and apply it.)
2. Let It Sit for 5 Minutes
- The acid in lemon or vinegar will break down the rust without scrubbing.
3. Scrub Lightly
- Use a sponge, toothbrush, or steel wool to scrub the area.
- If the rust is deep, leave the mixture for an extra 5 minutes.
4. Rinse & Dry Immediately
- Rinse with warm water and wipe completely dry to prevent future rusting.
đĽ Bonus Tip: Apply a thin layer of coconut oil or WD-40 to prevent rust from forming again!
