Rust appears from the interaction of oxygen with the untreated metal. It also often appears in places with high humidity or when metal interacts with water. Often the surface of the metal is covered with various compositions to protect it from external influences, but if rust does appear, there are several ways to remove it.

• Coca-Cola or other carbonated drinks. The choice in favor of "Coca-Cola" is made, because in its composition there is phosphoric acid, which fights against corrosion;
• Rust converter It is not a popular option due to the fact that it only stops corrosion, but does not fight it, therefore it is more often used for prophylaxis or for processing a new surface.

Although there are universal methods for removing rust, they are completely unsuitable for some surfaces. Therefore, it is better to figure out how to clean what surfaces.

Often the cause of the appearance of rust marks on the sanitary ware and on the tile is not the surface itself, but the appearance of rust on the internal metal parts. Replacing such parts, you can stop the spread of rust. There are several ways to deal with rust marks on a tile:

• Ammonia and oxalic acid. Leave the surface for one hour under the influence of acid. Then sponge with ammonia. After that, to achieve cleanliness, wash with plenty of running water;
• Hydrochloric acid. Be careful when working with her. It is necessary to put a little acid on the surface and then wash it off with plenty of water;
• Vinegar. Apply it on a sponge. Put the sponge on the surface for an hour.Then wipe with the same sponge and remove the corrosion. By the same principle, instead of vinegar, you can work with kerosene.

When removing rust from a plastic or acrylic surface, you need to know one simple way. Salt should be poured into place with traces of corrosion. Then you need to take a lemon and make a fresh cut, and wipe the place with this cut, rubbing lemon with salt.

• White clothes can be removed from stains with hydrochloric acid. The cloth is dipped in a 25 percent acid solution;
• Colored fabric can be cleaned with a slurry of chalk and glycerin. This composition is applied and left for a day. After the thing is erased.

Raw metal tends to oxidize under the influence of external factors, such as moisture or oxygen. It is best to remove corrosion stains until they are small and have grown over all surfaces:

• At the beginning of the process, you need to take sandpaper or a brush with metal bristles. Many are often limited to this, but this is wrong. It is necessary not only to remove rust, but also to get rid of its future appearance.
• For prevention and to combat corrosion, you can use the "anti rust converter". Before its application, those layers of corrosion that are easy to deform are removed. Then the surface is degreased, for example, with gasoline, and only after that they apply this agent. When working with such tools, you must follow the rules of your own safety, and in case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse with running warm water.

• There is also an option to remove rust with a certain composition. For its preparation will need 1/4 liter of water, 50 g of sodium hydroxide, 50 g of formalin and 50 g of ammonium. The resulting solution is added to a liter of water. In this solution it is necessary to lower the degreased parts. For complete rust removal, it is necessary to leave the parts in the solution for 30 minutes. Then you need to wash everything with hot water and wipe dry.
• Pig-iron cauldron or sink is better to clean with fish oil. It is applied in a thick layer and left for an hour. After it is removed with water. Fat also leaves a protective film that prevents the development of corrosion.

• Pipes or car body can be treated with kerosene or turpentine. Bolts and nuts on the car, which have rusted, can be plentifully watered with anti-rust and left for a day, after that blow air through.
• It is also possible to clean an object such as an old coin from rust. It is enough to put it for a day in undiluted vinegar. You can also use ammonia or lemon juice. The latter is especially good for cleaning silver from corrosion.
