How to Get Rid of Rust on a Refrigerator or Household Appliances – and Save Money Doing It
Noticing unsightly rust spots on your refrigerator, washing machine, or other household appliances? You’re not alone. Over time, even the most durable appliances can fall victim to rust—especially in humid kitchens, basements, or laundry rooms. But here’s the good news: you don’t need to replace your appliance or call a professional. With a few simple tools and common household ingredients, you can remove rust yourself, restore the look of your appliance, and save a significant amount of money.
What Causes Rust on Appliances?
Rust forms when moisture and oxygen react with metal surfaces, especially if the appliance’s paint or enamel coating has chipped or worn away. This is common in high-humidity areas, or if spills aren’t wiped up promptly.
Appliances most prone to rust include:
- Refrigerators (especially around the door seals or water dispenser)
- Washing machines
- Microwaves and ovens
- Dishwashers
- Freezers kept in garages or basements
What You’ll Need to Remove Rust
Here are a few easy-to-find tools and ingredients that can help:
Natural Rust Removers:
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Lemon juice
- Salt
- Aluminum foil or a non-abrasive scrub pad
For more stubborn rust:
- Fine-grit sandpaper (400–600 grit)
- Rust remover (store-bought, like Bar Keepers Friend or CLR)
- Appliance-safe touch-up paint (optional for finish restoration)
