Olive oil, miracle ingredient

How to Prevent or Remove Rust with Olive Oil?

Rust can happen at any time, on objects that are left damp, or that are not used often. It is potentially dangerous, but above all, it is difficult to fight. In addition, cleaning products are quite expensive.

To do this, simply apply it to the object in question, knowing that it works particularly well on iron objects .

If your object is already rusty

How to Prevent or Remove Rust with Olive Oil?

1. Try to remove the rust first by scraping it with another object covered with oil .

3. Leave for 5 min , then take out the object and wipe it with a towel or Sopalin for example.
