Found a rust removal method on Youtube

I found this while trying to remove rust from an old shoe horn...



While it applies to auto parts, hey, may work for some antiques and take a lot less to do so.

There's also an old coin cleaning method using washing soda but every time I see it posted on here people are using baking soda!

So that's electrolysis! I had no idea

LOL. There is quite a difference and the alkaline level is much higher. I think we have washing soda at our store and will pick some up. I also have a battery charger I found baking soda with vinegar will mess up coins very badly or can and honestly any time I've tried baking soda for any cleaning, it hasn't done a very good job.
