What You Need:
Lemon or lime juice
Table salt
Soft cloth
Steps:
Sprinkle salt over the rusted area.
Squeeze lemon juice over the salt until it’s soaked.
Let it sit for 2–3 hours.
Scrub gently and rinse with water.
Dry thoroughly to prevent future rust.
Why It Works: The citric acid in lemon juice breaks down rust, while salt acts as a gentle abrasive.
Prevention Tips
Wipe appliances dry regularly to avoid moisture buildup.
Apply a thin layer of appliance-safe wax or oil to exposed metal areas.
Fix scratches promptly to prevent rust from forming.
Store kitchen appliances in dry areas whenever possible.
Final Thoughts
Rust doesn’t have to mean replacing your appliances or spending a fortune. With baking soda, vinegar, or lemon juice, you can remove rust naturally, safely, and effectively. Regular maintenance and preventive care will keep your refrigerator and other appliances looking new for years to come.
