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.

Store forks in a closed container or cover to protect them from air humidity which can cause rust.
3. Use a desiccator.
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.

Store forks in a protective material, such as wax paper or plastic, to reduce the risk of rust.
