In the video, Instagram user @of3house simply rubs one side of the scissors for just a few seconds. Then the rust stains on the scissors can disappear immediately. This is characterized by the presence of a cloudy brown liquid that fades when the scissors are rubbed. So, for maximum results, rub the scissors evenly so that they are cleaner from rust.
Finally, rinse the scissors thoroughly and dry them. Make sure the scissors are stored in completely dry conditions to avoid rust appearing again. Apart from that, clean the scissors after every use, OK? That way, the scissors will be more durable and sharp when used.
