Certain items rust faster than others, especially those that are frequently exposed to moisture.
One of the most common methods is to use a commercial rust remover.
But if you dont have anyor prefernatural cleaning methodsyour next best option is to reach for the aluminum foil.
Lightly wet the aluminum foil ball with water or vinegar and rub surfaces until the rust is removed.
The most common question about this hack is whether the foil scratches the metal surface.
Because aluminum is softer than metal, the answer is no, it will not.
In fact, its a safer alternative tousing a steel wool scouring stickfor this very reason.
In that case, you might try some of these other viral hacks, whether with or without foil.
Once its faded, rinse clean and allow the metal to dry.
Be surenot to use baking sodaon actual aluminum, however, as it can discolor it.
Start by sprinkling salt onto the rusted surface, then squeeze lemon juice directly over it.
