Tips for storing forks so they don't rust easily.
Storing your forks properly can help prevent rust. Here are a number of tips for storing forks so they don't rust:
1. Dry well.
Make sure the fork is completely dry before storing. Wet it again with plain water after washing it with soap, then dry it with a clean cloth.
2. Use a lid or closed container.
Store forks in a closed container or cover to protect them from air humidity which can cause rust.

Place a desiccator in the storage container to absorb moisture and keep the forks dry.
4. Avoid humidity.
Store the fork in a dry place protected from moisture. Avoid storing forks near sinks or places that are often wet.
5. Use candles.
Apply a thin layer of beeswax or vegetable oil to the surface of the fork to protect it from air humidity.
7. Store with safety material.
Store forks in a protective material, such as wax paper or plastic, to reduce the risk of rust.
8. Keep away from chemicals.
Avoid storing forks with chemicals or materials containing acids that can damage the surface.
