Brilio.net - Dish racks are used to store kitchen utensils such as plates, spoons, and glasses, as well as to drain newly washed kitchen utensils. On the market, dish racks are available in various shapes and materials, but stainless steel is most often chosen because of its strength and ability to withstand heavy loads. However, stainless steel dish racks can rust over time due to exposure to water. The reaction between water, stainless steel, and oxygen can cause rust, making the surface of the rack porous and susceptible to damage.
To prevent rust, many people use anti-rust liquid and repaint the shelves. However, there is another more effective way to remove rust without having to repaint. YouTube user Mama Twins 4N shares ingredients that can be used to eradicate rust more effectively in one of her videos.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Mama Twins 4N on Saturday (10/28), the YouTube user admitted to only using two simple ingredients to eradicate rust on the stainless steel dish rack. The ingredients are toothpaste and citric acid. So these two ingredients are simply mixed in one container and stirred evenly.
Before ready to use, make sure the kitchen utensils on the rack have been moved, okay. After that, rinse the dish rack and apply the cleaning fluid evenly. For maximum results, it is better not to scrub the dish rack directly. Let it sit for at least 1 hour.

Once it has been left, then scrub it using a wire brush. Do this scrubbing process evenly between the dish racks. Then rinse and scrub again until clean.

In the video, YouTube user Mama Twins 4N doesn't just do this process once. So after scrubbing, she reapplies the toothpaste and citric acid mixture. Then she lets the dish rack sit for a few hours. After that, she scrubs the dish rack again until it's clean.
"So at least it took two jobs to really clean it (the rust)," concluded YouTube Mama Twins 4N.
