How to deal with rusty kitchen knives

Using rice washing water: Soak the rusted cutting tools in rice washing water for about an hour, then wipe them clean with a cloth. If the rust removal is not thorough, continue soaking until the rust is completely removed.

Using scallions: Rub the sliced scallions directly onto the rust on the cutting tool with great force to remove the rust.

Using potato or radish slices: Dip the sliced potato or radish slices in a little sand and water, and rub them directly on the rust to remove it.

Using a cork and cleaning powder: Sprinkle some cleaning powder on the tool, then wet the cork and rub it back on the tool with the cork. The rust can be removed and the effect is very good.

Using tomato juice: Clean the rusted areas of cut tomatoes to quickly remove rust.

Using salt: Adding an appropriate amount of salt and a little water can also help remove rust by washing and wiping the rusted area.

Using vinegar: You can use vinegar to scrub once, then wash with warm water to remove it, because the acetic acid in vinegar can neutralize the iron oxide on the surface of the cutting tool, thus playing a role in rust removal.

In addition to the rust removal methods mentioned above, preventing tool rust is equally important. After each use of the tool, make sure to clean it thoroughly and dry it to avoid rusting caused by moisture. In addition, storing the cutting tools in a dry place and avoiding contact with moisture is also an effective method to prevent rusting.
