Rust Remover Secateurs

Rust Remover Secateurs is a soft, rubber-like abrasive that can be used to carefully scrape off plant sap and dirt that adhere to the surface of secateurs or scissors. It can also remove "rust." It is characterized by its thinness, allowing it to fit into narrow gaps between the blades, making it possible to sharpen scissors and blades of all shapes.

Care for Your Secateurs & Scissors:

Use the Rust Remover to remove rust and dirt from the surface of the blades. Start by gently scrubbing the dirt in the direction and shape of the blade. Then use the sharpening stone at a fixed angle to sharpen the top of the blade, making it sharp again. Sharpen by pulling the stone toward you. Soak the stone in water for about 15 minutes before use.

Make sure the secateurs are completely dry before applying oil. Moisture can lead to rust, so it’s important that all parts, especially the joints and hinges, are dry. Apply Rust Protection Oil directly to the joints and hinges of the secateurs. This helps keep the mechanism smooth and prevents the metal from wearing out or rusting.

After lubricating all parts, use a dry cloth to wipe off any excess oil. Leave only a thin oily film on the secateurs to provide rust protection. Store the secateurs in a dry place, preferably in a case or on a hook where they are not exposed to moisture. This further reduces the risk of rust formation.

You should repeat the process regularly, especially if you use the secateurs often or work in damp environments. By lubricating and cleaning regularly, you keep your secateurs in good condition and avoid rusting and wear.
