How to Remove Rust with Baking Soda
Make a 50/50 paste of water and baking soda
Apply it to the rust on the chrome parts of the bike with a scrubby Viva® Towel.
The Viva® Vantage® has a scrubby texture, like a terrycloth which is great for getting scrubbing stovetops, patio furniture, and other grimy surfaces.
Try tin foil.
If you need a little more strength, try using a piece of crumbled up tinfoil.
Using baking soda worked okay, but it wasn’t blowing me away, especially in comparison to the following method!
How to Remove Rust with Vinegar
If you want to remove rust with vinegar instead of baking soda, use the following instructions:
1. Grab a little dish and pour some vinegar into it.
2. Crumble up a piece of tin foil, then dip the tin foil into the vinegar dish.
3. Scrub the rust with the vinegar soaked tin foil.
Dip it back into the vinegar as necessary as you continue to remove rust.
4. Dry with a Viva Towel.
This will ensure a beautiful chrome shine.
You can choose which of two types of everyday towels to use, as both work like cloth to stand up to any cleaning job. I used the Viva® Towels that have a signature soft and smooth texture, like an undershirt cloth. It’s ideal for cleaning delicate surfaces like countertops and coffee tables.
