How to remove rust from stainless steel sheet

2024-07-18

To remove rust from stainless steel sheet, you can use a stainless steel cleaner. Choose a cleaner specifically for cleaning stainless steel and use it according to the instructions. Usually, apply it to the rusted area, let it sit for a while, and then wipe or rinse it with a clean cloth.


For milder rust, you can wipe it with a soft cloth or fine sandpaper, or use a stainless steel wire brush to gently scrub the rusted area. Pay attention to the strength to avoid scratching the stainless steel surface.


You can use diluted acetic acid or lemon juice to remove rust. Apply acetic acid or lemon juice directly to the rusted area, let it sit for a while, and then wipe it with a damp cloth or sponge.


Mix sodium bicarbonate and water into a paste, apply it to the rusted area, let it sit for a while, and then scrub it clean. Note that you need to wear gloves when using sodium bicarbonate to avoid skin contact.


After removing the rust, in order to prevent the stainless steel from rusting again, you can use stainless steel care agent or stainless steel protective paint to protect the surface.


Before using any cleaner or solution, always test it on a small area to ensure that it will not damage or discolor the stainless steel surface.
