Brilio.net - Scissors can be used to cut various things, one of which is food packaging. Scissors are usually made of metal so they are durable to use. Unfortunately, if they are frequently exposed to water, scissors are susceptible to rust.

If they are already rusty, the scissors will become dull and their function will not be optimal. Especially if rust has covered the entire surface of the scissors.

But instead of just throwing them away, it turns out there are practical ways to deal with rusty scissors. A TikTok user @parcel_baby_pbg showed how in one of his video uploads. This netizen seems to only rely on two kitchen ingredients to remove rust from the surface of the scissors.

Then sprinkle baking soda over the scissors. If so, then slowly pour the table vinegar into the bowl until it soaks all the rust stains on the scissors. For maximum cleanliness, let the scissors soak in the cleaning solution for 5 minutes.

After soaking for 5 minutes, immediately take the scissors. Without needing to scrub at all, the rust stains on the scissors disappeared completely.

For maximum cleanliness, scissors can be washed using dish soap as usual. Don't forget to rinse the scissors with running water until the entire surface is clean and shiny again.

Because there are no more rust stains, the scissors are as sharp as new again.

So, scissors can be used again as usual. Immediately practice this method if you experience similar problems, OK? No need to worry, the scissors are still safe to use because they are free from rust stains.

Factors that cause scissors to rust.

Rusty scissors can be caused by several factors. Here are some of the main factors that can cause scissors to rust.

1. Contact with water and moisture.

One of the main causes of rust is contact with water and moisture. If scissors are not stored properly after use, or if they are exposed to water repeatedly without drying them properly, then these damp conditions can trigger rust to form.

2. Contact with chemicals.

Exposure to certain chemicals, such as strong detergents or cleaning agents containing corrosive substances, can damage the metal coating and surface of the scissors, increasing the risk of rust.

3. Contact with acids or other toxic materials.

Contact with acids or other toxic materials can also trigger rust on scissors. For example, if scissors are used to cut materials containing acid, or if they are exposed to toxic chemicals, this can damage the finish and cause rust.

4. Improper storage.

Storing scissors in damp or wet places, such as in places that are directly exposed to water or in places that are not protected from moisture, can increase the risk of rust.

5. Not cleaned and stored properly.

Scissors that are not cleaned and stored properly after use tend to be more susceptible to rust. Remnants of material stuck to the scissors, especially if they are corrosive, can cause rust if not cleaned properly.

To prevent rust on scissors, it is important to clean the scissors regularly after use, dry them well before storing them, store them in a dry place protected from moisture, and avoid exposure to corrosive chemicals. If rust has occurred, you can try cleaning it using a cleaning agent that is suitable for the type of metal and coating layer of the scissors.
