Rusty tools? How to clean rusty tools and keep them rust-free!

If you need to know how to clean rusty tools, you’re in the right place! Jenolite is here to help you restore rusty tools to their former glory, keeping them rust-free forever!

Let’s face it, from the moment you buy a new tool, you know for a fact you’ll be putting it through its paces. Whether your tools help you to tackle the garden, refurbishments or general DIY, they’re the equipment we rely on to get jobs done indoors and out, even when they become tired and rusty.

Rusty tools are fine to use, but over time the rust can really prohibit their performance. Have you ever tried to use rusty pliers or a saw? The good news is that if your tools are rusty but made from steel or iron, Jenolite will obliterate the rust, and provide an added layer of protection against the rust returning.

So before you pack away those rusty tools for these colder months, why not give them some TLC, ready for your next gardening or DIY project?
