Remove Rust with our 9.9% White Cleaning Vinegar

Do you have rusty tools that need some TLC? 

Rust forms when metal reacts with oxygen and moisture over time. The acetic acid in Green Goddess Premium Cleaning Vinegar helps dissolve that rust - loosening it from the surface so it can be easily scrubbed away.

With a strong cleaning vinegar like ours (which is 9.9% acidity), the process is faster and much more effective, which is perfect for well used garden tools, secateurs, spanners, pliers, and more.

Bring Your Tools Back to Life with Green Goddess White Cleaning Vinegar

Our Green Goddess White Cleaning Vinegar is a powerful, no-fuss solution for tackling rust. That higher strength makes it especially effective at breaking down rust without the need for harsh chemical products.

Start by placing your rusty tools in a container and covering them completely with the vinegar. Let them soak for several hours or overnight, depending on how heavy the rust is.

Once soaked, remove the tools and give them a good scrub with a brush or steel wool - you’ll find the rust lifts away much more easily. Rinse well with water and dry thoroughly to prevent any new rust forming.
