Spoons, forks, ladles, whisks or potato mashers can rust when exposed to humid air. To do this, simply soak your rusty utensils in a small container containing baking soda mixed with water. Leave it to act for at least 24 hours, rinse and dry thoroughly to prevent moisture stagnation.
Another trick is to sprinkle baking soda on the rusty object to completely cover the rust spots and let it sit for an hour. Then you will only have to scrub your utensils with an abrasive sponge or an old toothbrush to remove the rust spots. Don’t forget to rinse them afterwards and dry them with a clean cloth.
