As a good host, we must take care of our home, from the stage of construction, and of course, during operation. This concern includes the elimination of undesirable phenomena, which are formed due to chemical reactions taking place in various materials - mold, putrefaction, and rust. Rust is a destructive phenomenon that can turn metallic elements of communications or structures into dirty brown flakes. On how to remove rust stains from metal, and will go today speech. The means for getting rid of rust have already produced a lot of humanity, because this problem is old as the world. I will start with home methods, and finish professional.
Potatoes remove rust
Fresh potatoes contain oxalic acid, which will help us in this matter. If a rusty stain is small, for example on a blade of a knife, sprinkle the cut potatoes with salt and clean the knife. You can just hold potato with salt on a rusty place for 15 minutes, then rinse and dry.
Vinegar and lemon juice
Mix these two ingredients, which can be found in any kitchen in equal parts, and apply the mixture on a rust stain on metal, clothing or tiles. For metal, the mixture should be kept for two hours, for the remaining materials, 15-20 minutes. After finishing the treatment, we also rinse and dry the surface.
Baking soda
For the preparation of the formula, mix ordinary baking soda with water, so that a very thick gruel is obtained. This mixture is applied to the rusty place of the metal surface for 15-20 minutes, after which we remove it with a metal washcloth. You may have to repeat this procedure a couple of times.
Coca-Cola or other sparkling water
Quite a modern rust remover. For the first time, American housewives began to use Coca-Cola, who noticed that it copes well with rusty stains. It's all about phosphoric acid, which dissolves rust. So, think again, is it worth it to drink water that dissolves iron oxide.
Alka-Seltzer
Another miracle of modern chemistry that helps sufferers. It will help us remove rusty stains from aluminum dishes. We place the dishes in a container, fill it with water and add 4-6 tablets of alk-zeltser. After 5-10 minutes rinse with clean water and dry.
Ketchup

As for professional methods, there are a large number of converters or rust removers on sale, which act on the same principle - the composition reacts chemically with rust, converting it into a dense black or dark blue coating, which can then be painted. As they say, quickly and reliably.

To bring concrete funds does not make sense, since advertising to any brand is not worth it, since its products may not be suitable for all. For sale converters and rust removers in auto shops and auto departments of construction supermarkets.
