How to Remove Corrosion from Appliances and Preserve Your Budget

The 5-Step Process to Say Goodbye to Rust

1. Remove visible rust

• Using a scraper or spatula, remove damaged paint parts and rusty areas.
• Proceed gently so as not to alter the still healthy parts of the appliance.

2. Apply a repair sealant

• Use a waterproof sealant to fill in the affected areas.
• Apply it using a spatula, then let it dry completely.

3. Sand for a smooth result

• After the putty has dried, sand the surface with medium grit sandpaper (120-150).
• Finish with a thinner paper (220) to obtain a perfectly smooth surface.

4. Protect with rustproofing

• Apply rust remover to the treated area to prevent rust from recurring.
• Let dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

5. Repaint for a flawless finish

• Apply several coats of special appliance spray paint.
• Apply about 20-30 cm from the surface with regular movements to prevent dripping.
• Allow to dry completely before using the appliance.
