How To Get Rust Off Outdoor Furniture

Rust is a common problem for outdoor furniture, especially if it's made of metal. Rust can ruin the appearance of your furniture and make it uncomfortable to sit on. But don't worry, there are a few simple steps you can take to remove rust from your outdoor furniture and keep it looking its best.

You'll need the following supplies:

A wire brush or steel wool
A bucket of warm water
Dish soap
A soft cloth
A can of WD-40 or other rust remover
A pair of gloves

Instructions:

Put on your gloves.
Dip the wire brush or steel wool into the bucket of warm water and add a few drops of dish soap.
Scrub the rust off the furniture in the direction of the grain.
Rinse the furniture with clean water and dry it with a soft cloth.
Spray the furniture with WD-40 or another rust remover and let it sit for a few minutes.
Wipe the furniture clean with a soft cloth.

If the rust is particularly stubborn, you may need to repeat these steps a few times. Once the rust is removed, you can protect your furniture from future rust by applying a coat of wax or sealant.

Here are some additional tips for removing rust from outdoor furniture:

If the rust is on a large area, you may want to use a power washer to remove it.
Be careful not to scrub too hard, as this can damage the finish of your furniture.
If you're using a rust remover, be sure to follow the directions on the can carefully.
Once you've removed the rust, be sure to dry the furniture thoroughly to prevent it from rusting again.

With a little care and effort, you can keep your outdoor furniture looking its best for years to come.
