How to get rid of rust

You are familiar with the situation when you can not open the lock due to rust inside the mechanism? Or when it is impossible to twist a rusty nut? We all often encounter similar problems. However, they can be overcome.

Unfortunately, a universal remedy for getting rid of rust has not yet been invented. The funds offered in the market are not always suitable for large surfaces, and unreasonably overstated price do not allow you to decide on such a purchase.

Follow a number of conditions

We make a home -made solution

Rust is formed on metal products as a result of interaction with oxygen or water. And although initially the rust destroys only the surface, in the future it penetrates into the product and completely deforms it.

To prevent the formation of rust, there is one most reliable way – this is prevention. And for this, methods do not need expensive drugs. The easiest way to prevent rust is the color of the surface of metal products.

Follow a number of conditions

But in this case, a number of conditions must be observed: the old paint must be removed, and degreased the painted surface. Paint can be used oil and enamel. You can paint with a roller, but for complete protection in hard -to -reach places, the paint must be applied with a brush.

If the option with prevention is not suitable for you, and the rust has already settled with a thick crust on the items you need, then this trouble is fixable. If items of kitchen utensils are rusted, then they need to be treated with a home -made solution.

For its preparation, it is necessary to mix lactic acid (about 50 g) and vaseline oil (about 100 g). Apply the solution to a rusty surface and leave for several minutes, then wipe it with a dry cloth. Also, objects of kitchen utensils can be treated with other solution.

To do this, you need to mix citric and acetic acid in equal proportions, apply to the surface, then treat with a metal sponge, rinse and wipe it dry. A more reliable way to get rid of rust is the use of a solution that contains an acid corrosion inhibitor.

Another innovation of getting rid of rust is the use of the well-known drink “Coca-Cola”. According to experts, it even helps better than kerosene. The fact is that in the composition of Coca-Cola there is phosphoric acid that can save metal objects from rust.
