Use Vinegar for Rust and Wood Treatment

rusty toolsVinegar is really great stuff with many cool uses. Here are the the 2 best ones I know of.

  1. Remove rust from metal. Just let the metal (pliers, blade etc.) soak overnight in the vinegar. Rub off with old cloth, rinse with water and dry or place in sun. Bye-bye rust.

  2. Paint the undiluted vinegar on wood to keep nasty woodborers and other insects away. It's better if you can submerge the wood for an hour but not necessary.
Considering the prices nowadays of rust remover and wood treatment, this tip can save you many, many $$!

I had a new roommate and she didn't know any better. She put my cast iron skillet in the dish washer and ran a load. It was completely covered in rust. I just put it in a round plastic pan and covered it with vinegar. It took 2 days but got rid of all the rust. Then I washed it off and re-seasoned it. I asked her not to do that again.
