How do you remove rust from chrome handles?

One effective way to remove rust from chrome handles is by using aluminum foil and saltwater.

Here's a breakdown of how to do it:

Removing Rust with Aluminum Foil

According to our references, aluminum foil can be a surprisingly effective tool for removing rust from chrome plating:

1. Prepare your materials: You will need aluminum foil and saltwater (water with salt dissolved in it).
2. Dip the foil: Dip a piece of aluminum foil into the saltwater.
3. Rub the rusted surface: Rub the saltwater-dipped aluminum foil against the rusted surface of the chrome handle. Continue rubbing until the rust comes off. The aluminum is softer than the chrome, but harder than the rust, so it will remove the rust without damaging the chrome.
4. Rinse and dry: After removing the rust, rinse the handle with water and dry it thoroughly.

Material	Purpose
Aluminum Foil	Acts as a gentle abrasive to remove rust.
Saltwater	Helps to loosen the rust and facilitates removal.

This method leverages a chemical reaction and the abrasive nature of aluminum to lift the rust without scratching the chrome.
