    wrap the area soaked in paper towel with lemon,white vinegar or coke. Leave on overnight then clean the next day.

    White vinegar is a good rust attacker. Either soak them or pour directly on and wait until you see the rust starting to dissolve to wipe it away.

    Once the rust is gone you can polish it with tin foil and it retards the rust.

    For standard cleaning, use a soapy sponge and hot water to wipe the racks. For stubborn messes, soak oven racks in hot water, dish soap, and a couple scoops of baking soda. Let the racks soak in this mixture for 15 to 30 minutes before scrubbing clean with a soft sponge.
