​How to get rid of rusty spots on kitchen knives

I reached my breaking point and was tired of looking at my rusty knives. My favorite set of utility knives had developed some rust spots. I’ll admit, I most likely left them in the sink wet one too many times. But I remembered an old wives’ tale my mom told me, that soaking knives and a little scrubbing can remove rust spots. So I wanted to test her theory.

What you’ll need:

I let my knives soak while we were eating dinner, approximate soak time was 20 minutes. After removal from the lemon juice, you won’t see an immediate difference. The scrubbing is essential! I put a little elbow grease into it and scrubbed away the rust.

Ta-da! My knives are as good as new!
