You may have known that scrubbing the rust off with aluminum foil is a valid method. And it IS! If you have a bit of rust and you have the foil on hand, scrub away!
But if you have something with more than a bit of rust or a larger space, here is your method:
Materials:
Old Rag
Bar Keeper’s Friend
Gloves are suggested
According to rainonatinroof:
Directions:
Step 1:
Dampen the rag and shake a little Bar Keeper’s Friend onto it.
Rub the rag together to create a sort of paste.
Step 2:
Scrub down any areas with rust.
As you scrub, you will see your rag start to turn brownish-red from the rust that is coming off. Stop every once in a while, rinse the rag out and repeat the scrubbing process.
Step 3:
After you have removed all the rust, wipe the areas you cleaned down with a clean, wet rag, followed by a dry rag to avoid water marks.
I spent about an hour removing rust from this chair, however I will say it was well worth it.
