Materials for Cleaning Rusty Stainless Steel:

• Baking soda
• Water
• Paper towel
• Small bowl or container
• Fork, spoon, or any stirrer

How to Remove Rust on Stainless Steel:

Step 1

Gather all the supplies that you need, then in a small bowl or container, add a little amount of baking soda, and a drizzle of water. Give them a good stir until well mixed or paste consistency, then find the grain of the steel, and go in that direction when you rub the paste.

Step 2

Now, soak a paper towel in the cleaning paste, then rub it on the rusty spot, and make sure to go along the grain. The baking soda will serve as a mild abrasive, it can help loosen up the rust without damaging the steel itself.

Step 3

Remove the dry portion of the baking soda mixture on the steel by wiping it clean with a paper towel, then once done, rinse it off by wiping it clean with a wet paper towel, and dry it with a dry paper towel. Leave the steel to air dry completely before buffing and polishing it with whatever product you prefer.
