Rust is a quiet, subtle thing that sneaks up on your pans, pots, serving-ware and even some furniture. It comes in many different forms, but the most common in households is rust from iron oxides, where metal is exposed to water or air moisture and becomes oxygenated.

There are five eco-friendly ways to remove rust ....

1 Salt & Lime: Sprinkle a little bit of salt on the rust, then squeeze the lime over the salt until is soaking. Let the mixture sit for 2-3 hours and then remove the rust with the lime rind. This can also be done with a lemon. We like the salt and lime a little more because they double as margarita ingredients as well.

2 White Vinegar & Water: One smart reader dipped aluminum foil in white vinegar and scrub away the rust.

3. Baking Soda & Water: Put baking soda directly onto the rust, and then with a toothbrush apply water and scrub. This Re-Nest reader suggests going with the grain depending on what you are cleaning.

4 Vinegar Soak: Place smaller rusty items in an overnight vinegar soak, like rusty tools, and hasn't needed to scrub any of them.

5. Potato & Dish Soap: Cutting a potato in half, and then dipping the cut end in dish soap or baking soda. Then apply the soaked end to the rusted and rub. To keep going, just cut the potato's top layer and re-apply the soap.
