How to Remove Rust From Counter Tops
- 1). Scrub away the rust with a scrubbing pad. This is the easiest way to remove superficial rust on counter tops.
- 2). Create a paste of two parts table salt and one part lime juice. Apply the paste to the rust stains on the counter tops with a sponge. Leave paste on for two to three hours so the deep cleaning takes effect. Lime juice is effective because of its mild citric acid. The table salt is a mild abrasive.
