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.

  1. 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

  2. Nice one soaking in a paper towel with a spray bottle. Better than soaking the whole tool in vinegar.

  3. 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!?

  4. 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

  5. Hello! What kind of vinegar you used; White or of home? And how many percent? 3%, 5%, 9%, 15% or 20%? Thank you.

  6. Good job, I have lots of tools that need TLC, could please tell me what it is that you can make them shinny & look new?

  7. 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 .

  8. 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😀👍
