How to remove rust of the metal chairs? any one


TIA

hi, not tested but will using sandpaper to rub against the rusty areas help? vaguely remember this method, anyone can confirm? :oops:

It does but only for a short while. Need to sandpaper down and if possible, have a little coat of some thinner-like stuff (can't remember the name....oops!)

If your switch plates are getting yellowish with age and daily use, use a soft toothbrush (kids old toothbrush) and small amount of toothpaste (darlie / colgate).


Works like magic..

But if it is chrome surface (shiny) the sanding down will cause the metal to look dull after that...

maybe after that have to use metal polisher.. can buy from diy/hardware shops.. err but not cheap.. This metal polisher can also be used to make your stove shine like new..

This I've not heard before :shock: . But I do use rubber bands to tie up the closet so that my kids can't access the junk food. Helps to remove ants from the table top too.

A friend of hubs recommended COMBAT.
We tried. Bought a pack from DIY. No
ants anywhere anymore.
