a piece of aluminum foil
Squeeze a juicy lemon (bottled juice works perfectly)
Generously soak the paper with lemon juice
Gently rub the oxidized area
Observeable result : in just one to two minutes, the rust stains visibly diminish. The natural acidity of the lemon gently works on the oxidation, while the aluminum acts as a mild abrasive that preserves the integrity of the metal.
Immersion in white vinegar: a solution for stubborn cases
Some severely oxidized parts require a more thorough approach.
The protocol:
Pour white vinegar into a suitable container
Fully immerse the object in question
Leave to act
