1. Onion

You need to take an onion, cut it in half and rub it on the places where the reddish coating has appeared, and then wipe the surface with a damp sponge.

2. Potatoes

You can do roughly the same thing with raw potatoes. Cut the root vegetable, sprinkle it with baking soda and rub the rusty areas with it.

3. Ketchup

You can also use store-bought ketchup from edibles. It contains oxalic and citric acid. Ketchup can be used to clean sinks, bathtubs, and other rusty surfaces.

4. Fish oil

Fish oil does a good job of this task. But it needs to be applied to the surface and left for 2-3 hours, then the plaque should be cleaned with a brush and the surface polished with a microfiber cloth.

5. Soap and soda

You need to grate laundry soap, mix it with soda ash 1:1, treat the stains and leave for 2 hours, then rinse with warm water.
