When our son turned two year old we decided to buy him this sweet ride-on tricycle. We bought this trike with the specific goal of having it for years to come so I needed to know how to remove rust from a tricycle (and bikes – you should see my daughter’s poor bicycles!).
His new bike was shiny and beautiful when we first bought it! But, we live in an apartment and don’t have room to store it inside our home (nor do we want to really) so it got rusty as the wind blows the rain onto our little front patio, especially when it downpours.
I looked up a few different tips online for rust removal ideas and solutions. Some seemed overly complicated, or involved some heavy duty cleaners or chemicals. While I am not necessarily opposed to chemicals for cleaning purposes, why not opt for more natural cleaners, especially if they work awesome? Plus, they are usually much cheaper.
