Brilio.net - Rust is one of the stubborn stains often found on spoons, especially those made of stainless steel or metal. This rust usually appears because the spoon is not cleaned properly or is used in hot conditions for too long.
A rusty spoon certainly cannot be used for eating. Some people use rusty spoons to make crafts. However, rusty spoons can actually be cleaned and reused as usual.
A netizen with the YouTube account name Emak Syfa and Izi Daulay once shared a tutorial on how to clean a rusty spoon.
In one of the videos uploaded, it appears that he only relies on simple ingredients, such as vinegar, baking soda, and citric acid.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Emak Syfa and Izi Daulay on Monday (11/18), prepare a small bowl first. Then mix a pack of citric acid, dish soap, baking soda, and vinegar in the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed.

In addition, put the spoon to be cleaned into a basin. Pour the cleaning solution that has been made earlier. Stir so that the entire surface of the spoon is exposed to the cleaning solution. Once done, let the spoon sit for 30 minutes.

Rub each spoon that has been left for thirty minutes. Because it has been soaked in the cleaning solution, the rust on the spoon is easy to remove.

The spoon that has been scrubbed can be rinsed directly with plain water. Don't forget to scrub it so that the spoon becomes maximally clean and free from rust and cleaning solution residue. As a result, the spoon becomes clean and shiny like new again, right?
