How To Remove Rust From Garden Tools
SUPPLIES
Garden tools
Spray bottle
Vinegar
Water
Baking soda
Paper towels
INSTRUCTIONS
Fill an empty sprayer with vinegar.
Spray each tool with the vinegar, then wrap it with a sheet of paper towel.
Spray the paper towel with more vinegar so it penetrates through to the rusty tools.
Set aside for 2 hours.
With a toothbrush or any cleaning brush brush off the rusty bits. If the rust is stubborn spray with vinegar again and let it sit longer.
Rinse the rusty residue off and then apply baking soda and water to the tools and give it a nice wash to neutralize.
Wipe each tool with a coat of mineral oil for extra protection from the elements.

Or just take them inside when you're done or put them in your garage if you have one
I don't own any gardening tools. I don't even have a garden. why am I here
Forcing the tools to take in the vinegar like here, imma spray some vinegar on you and then wrap you up nice and tight in a paper towel and let you rest JK LOL HERE’S SOME MORE VINEGAR HAVE FUN
effect ? rusty tools smells like VINEGAR.
instructions not clear, turned my garden tools into garden gnomes.
Nice one soaking in a paper towel with a spray bottle. Better than soaking the whole tool in vinegar.

Any tips on cleaning the wooden handle of tools that gets black and moldy?
Thank you so much!
Will coconut oil work too to coat them!?
Amazing!
I made similar with woodprix instructions 🙂
Wow, I have to try this tomorrow on my tools! Thanks!
What's the point of the baking soda?
What’s with all the weird oil people use. Just get some WD40. That’s what NASA designed it for. Water displacement formula #40
Use the coconut oil for your popcorn
best of all tool saving vids
Can use Amazon packaging paper
Hello! What kind of vinegar you used; White or of home? And how many percent? 3%, 5%, 9%, 15% or 20%? Thank you.
I'd much rather use the vinegar on my french fries.

The piece of the tool in the thumbnail that is the before pic .it can't rust it's made from aluminum or magnesium it will not oxidize .
Very very fine
I just did this except I soaked my pruning shears in a jar of white vinegar instead of just wrapping them in paper towels. It worked great😀👍
