    Soak rusted items in vinegar for 3 hours, then scrub with a toothbrush. Rinse in water. Dry immediately with paper towels. Use a hair dryer for any tight spaces.

    I use Liquid Wrench or WD40, let sit for a bit, then I use 00 steel wool and a fine wire brush. Wipe clean, then be sure to put a coat of oil on them to keep them rust-free.
