White Vinegar and Baking Soda Solution
White vinegar is a mild acid that can dissolve rust. Pour some white vinegar over the rusty areas of the door or window, let it sit for about 30 minutes, and then scrub gently with a scouring pad. For stubborn spots, mix baking soda with a small amount of water to create a paste, apply it over the rust, and scrub it again.
Lemon Juice and Aluminum Foil Method
Lemon juice contains natural acids that break down rust. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the rust and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Then, take a piece of crumpled aluminum foil and scrub the affected area. The foil works as a mild abrasive, while the lemon dissolves the rust, helping to lift it away.
Soap and Steel Wool Scrub
For less severe rust, dish soap and steel wool can be effective. Mix warm water with dish soap and dip the steel wool into the solution. Gently scrub the rusty areas, being careful not to scratch the metal surface. This method is excellent for smaller rust spots or those on window frames.
