lemon and salt rust remover... it really works!

[greg273]

ok, this is probably common knowledge to some, but having recently discovered it for myself, i felt obliged to share this...
lemon juice and salt will dissolve rust almost instantly. Just take half a lemon and about 2 tablespoons of salt, then scrub away on that rusty old cast iron pan... in a few minutes, it'll be almost like new!
if you dont have a lemon, then the fake 'real-lemon' stuff in the bottle works too...

Now if only I had a GOOD SPOT to store this knowledge until I need it!

when apllied to white fabrics with rust spots and placed in the sun it will remove them. I used this method to salvage some antique linens with rust spots.

Same combination cleans inside of coffee pots also.
