Rust can quickly diminish the beauty of your wrought iron outdoor table, but with the right techniques, you can restore it to its former glory. Here’s a step-by-step guide to removing rust effectively:

1. Gather Supplies: You’ll need white vinegar or lemon juice, baking soda, steel wool or a wire brush, sandpaper (medium grit), a cloth, and rust-resistant paint (optional).

2. Scrub the Rust: Dip steel wool or a wire brush in vinegar or lemon juice and scrub the rusted areas vigorously. For stubborn rust, sprinkle baking soda for extra abrasion.

3. Sand the Surface: Use sandpaper to smooth out any remaining rough spots. Wipe the table clean with a damp cloth to remove debris.

4. Prevent Future Rust: Apply a rust-resistant primer and paint to protect the metal. Alternatively, use a clear sealant for a natural look.

5. Maintain Regularly: Keep your table dry and cover it during rainy seasons to prevent rust from returning.

By following these steps, your wrought iron table will look as good as new!
