Hi All If you have light rust on tools from leaving them out in the weather (or a similar cause), you can use vinegar and salt to clean it off with very little scrubbing.
Steps 1. Pour vinegar onto a portion of the tools. You don't want to do the whole thing at once, because the vinegar will come off. 2. Put a good amount of salt on the places where you poured vinegar. 3. Take the green side of a sponge and scrub the tool. 4. Repeat steps 1-3 until the whole tool has been cleaned. 5. Rinse the tools off with a hose removing all traces of salt. 6. Dry the tools off. Tips * Use the cheapest salt and vinegar you can find; it works just as well. Make sure you spray the tools with WD 40 or a similar product to put a film over the tools to prevent rust occurring again. Then keep them out of an area where high moisture content is prevalent. It is easier to prevent rust than clean it off when it has taken hold. ********************************************************************** This message and its attachments may contain legally privileged or confidential information.
