You have knives in your kitchen that are starting to rust, and you know how dangerous can it be?
Is your razor blade starting to get a funny color?
Do not panic ! It is true that anti-rust products have a price, as does buying back the object.
But you have at home enough to solve this problem easily, and for a very reasonable sum!
So get out your bottle of olive oil and find out how to use it to pickle your rusty things.
Rust can happen at any time, on objects that are left damp, or that are not used often. It is potentially dangerous, but above all, it is difficult to fight. In addition, cleaning products are quite expensive.
For its lubricating properties , and because itschemical composition does not allow it to mix with water, olive oil is perfectly indicated to fight rust or prevent it.
To do this, simply apply it to the object in question, knowing that it works particularly well on iron objects .
1. Try to remove the rust first by scraping it with another object covered with oil .
2. Once it is as "clean" as possible, cover it with plenty of olive oil .
This solution will prevent the rust from spreading, and protect your object for a while. Repeat as needed .
However , if it is an object that often comes into contact with food (like a kitchen knife), or that can be handled by children, it is better to replace it, eventually , because even a little bit of rust can be dangerous.
As simple prevention, all you need to do is:
1. Clean your object well, and above all dry it well (I insist on this point, because if there is water left, it is useless).
2. Fill a small container with olive oil, and dip your object in it .
3. Leave for 5 min , then take out the object and wipe it with a towel or Sopalin for example.
There you go, no more rusty objects :-)
No more excuses for having rusty items now! All it takes is a little oil, and a little time! I'm sure you can find both.
