1. Citric acid
On contact with citric acid, iron oxide reacts and the rust becomes colorless. For this, it is enough to dilute 2 tablespoons of citric acid in 1/2 liter of hot water. Apply your mixture to the rust. Pass a brush over it. All you have to do is rinse and dry well. There is another solution to remove citric acid. To do this, you must first put on a pair of household gloves to protect your hands. Then sprinkle a damp sponge with a teaspoon of citric acid. Soak your sponge in 1/2 liter of hot water. Spread it over the rusty area then rinse and dry well.
2. Baking soda and vinegar Put a tablespoon of baking soda in a mug.
Pour vinegar over it to dilute the baking soda. Put on your cleaning gloves then with a brush, take your sparkling mixture. Apply it on the rusty areas. Finally, use a damp sponge to remove residue. 3. Blanc de Meudon and alcohol It is also called Spanish white. Either way, it is very effective in removing rust from the iron. In a small container, put a tablespoon of methylated spirits. Add Meudon white to make a paste. Now apply the resulting paste on the rust. Leave the necessary time for it to dry. Then with a chamois or a microfiber cloth, rub to make it shine.
