It’s happened to the best of us. After a long afternoon of yard maintenance, you forget to clean and organize all your tools. Perhaps one pair of the best pruning shears is left out in the damp overnight. Repeat a few times and suddenly your favorite garden tool is covered in rust spots and no longer cutting through material like it used to.
Fortunately, these tools can be salvaged and got ready for the spring. With the right bit of care and some common household ingredients, rusty tools can quickly be restored to their shiny best so you can get back to yard work.
