One favorite winter hobby for most of us is ice skating. But how do you make sure that your ice skates last until the next winter season? The general rule to keeping your ice skates in good performance all the time is by keeping them rust-free and clean all year-round, even when not in use. Today, we will once again give you two rust removal options – a traditional method to remove rust and a modern, quick and easy and natural power strategy. Take a look!
Like how Grandma did it
If you want to use the traditional way of rust removal, you have to be ready in dealing with a quite laborious method. This is how you may do it.
-
Get a lemon. Cut it into halves. If the rust stains are serious, you might need to get as many lemons as you can.
-
Now squeeze all the lemon juice into a towel. For better results, you may also squeeze the lemon directly into the skate blades.
-
Scrub off using a steel brush. If the rust spots are very visible, you might need to scrub twice as hard and twice as longer as normal. Keep scrubbing until all the rust stains are gone.
-
Finally, use a clean cloth to wipe your skates and keep them dry.
-
Now, store them back in their boxes. If the box is gone, make sure you keep them in proper storage where moisture is limited.
