How Do You Remove Rust From Metal With A Pressure Washer?

0

Rust can ruin metal. It is important to remove the rust as soon as you can, or your metal items could wind up permanently damaged. Although rust stains can be difficult to remove, a simple technique with a pressure washer can inexpensively clean your items so they shine like new. Determine how many clean rags you’ll need to cover the rusted areas of your metal item. Pour white vinegar over the rags until they are saturated. Vinegar is corrosive and will help remove the rust buildup. Cover the rust with the saturated rags. Make sure each rust area is completely covered with a vinegar-saturated rag, then let them sit undisturbed for 8 hours. Remove the rags. Using a pressure washer on a light setting, gently spray the metal until the rust is removed. If rust remains, pour cola over more clean rags, using enough cola to fully saturate the rags. Phosphoric acid in the cola will etch the rust and help remove it. Cover the rusted areas with the cola-saturated rags. Let them sit for 8 hours.
