Surely many of those who have metal objects have encountered voracious rust.
For example, on tools, household items, garden tools, building materials, nuts, bolts, etc.
The main problem is that rust not only spoils the appearance of the product.
Corrosion also significantly reduces their service life.
However, there is a simple way to deal with the problem. A simple solution will help with this.
The base is citric acid, which dissolves rust.
In addition, it also creates a protective layer on the metal surface, preventing further oxidation.
All you need is to dissolve 1 tablespoon of citric acid in a liter of warm water.
The mixture needs to be mixed thoroughly. Now it can be used.
If we are dealing only with surface rust, keep the items in the solution for 1.5-2 hours.
If the corrosion is deeper, where the metal surface becomes rough, the procedure time is at least 4 hours.
After finishing the “bathing”, we take out the items and wipe them thoroughly with a dry cloth, removing the dark coating that has formed.
