Fight Back Against Rust and Win: Essential Tips for a Rust-Free Home
With winter behind us, it’s time to prepare for the warmer months ahead. As you bring out your lawnmower, garden tools, and patio set, you might notice rust on some stored items. While dirt and spider webs can be easily cleaned, tackling rust requires a bit more effort. Here’s how you can remove and prevent rust on household items effectively and safely.
Understanding Rust
Rust is the corrosion of steel or iron, appearing as a reddish oxide due to the metal’s exposure to oxygen and moisture. To combat rust, it’s essential to understand its causes. High humidity is a common culprit, so controlling moisture levels can significantly reduce rust formation.
Rust Prevention Tips
Reduce Humidity
Store items in climate-controlled areas of your house, if possible, to decrease humidity exposure. While dehumidifiers can help, they can be costly. For smaller items stored in cabinets or toolboxes, consider moisture control products like the Tool Buddy Moisture Eliminator, which efficiently absorbs excess moisture.
Strategic Storage
Taking preventative measures during storage can save you from dealing with rust later. Clean and thoroughly dry your items before storing them, especially those exposed to salt, dirt, or grass clippings. Applying a protective coating to unpainted surfaces is also crucial. Products like Boeshield T-9 aerosol spray or Bull Frog Rust Blocker are excellent choices, providing non-toxic and biodegradable protection.
Tackling Existing Rust
Rust Removers and Converters
For items already affected by rust, rust removers or converters can restore and protect them. Evapo-Rust is ideal for items that can be soaked, while Bull Frog Rust Remover is a non-toxic gel perfect for household use, as it contains no harsh chemicals and emits no strong odors.
In cases where removing rust isn't practical, use a rust converter to transform rust into a black protective surface. This can be painted over, making it ideal for lawnmower beds, snow blowers, and vehicles.
Conclusion
By understanding rust and employing these helpful tips, you can effectively prevent and tackle rust on your household items. With a little effort and the right products, you’ll ensure your belongings remain in excellent condition, ready for use when you need them.
