Description
Any of several physical or chemical methods used to remove rust or rust stains. Examples of physical cleaning methods are: paraffin oil applied with a fine steel wool, flame cleaning, abrasives, or sandblasting. Examples of chemical rust removers are solutions that contain: ammonium citrate, citric acid, oxalic acid, phosphoric acid (Jenolite, Modalene, Naval jelly), thioglycolic acid, hydrochloric acid, or sodium hydroxide. Often sequestrants and/or surfactants are added to aid in the cleaning process.
