Flash rust on cutlery not only looks unsightly, it is also unhygienic.
Luckily, there are simple tips that can help.
Frankfurt - Who doesn't know it: Small, rusty spots on the expensive cutlery - that doesn't look very nice.
However, rust film can often be easily avoided.
If the worst comes to the worst, there are a few tricks you can use to fight rust.
A simple but effective home remedy should be
aluminum foil balls
in the washing machine.
Balls are formed from aluminum foil and placed in the cutlery basket during the wash cycle.
Aluminum prevents rust film from sticking to cutlery and crockery.
Because aluminum oxidizes faster and absorbs rust.
At the same time, according to
chip.de
, consumers should pay attention to what is allowed in the dishwasher and what is not.
Metal items that are not made entirely of stainless steel should be hand washed.
This includes, for example, baking tins, peelers, knives, pans or frying pans with screws and rivets that are not made of stainless steel.
Cola against rust?
This is good for cleaning
Scouring milk, lemon juice, cola or baking powder and baking soda paste are suitable for cleaning rust film.
It also helps to rub the material with crumpled aluminum foil instead of cloth.
According to
Liebenswert
magazine , this increases effectiveness because the metal provides ion exchange and the rust dissolves faster.
With a special trick, the grill grate can also be cleaned in a flash.
According to
chip.de
, the dishwasher should be cleaned regularly to prevent the formation of rust from the outset.
Special dishwashing detergents can be placed in the cutlery tray of an empty machine and are effective during the wash cycle.
If there is rust, empty the dishwasher immediately
It also helps to empty the dishwasher right after the wash cycle.
In this way, the cutlery is not exposed to moisture for an unnecessarily long time and rust can be avoided.
