Rust on Stove

Depends on how bad the rust is. If it's surface rust, then it's not much of a big deal, and will come off pretty easily. If it's pitted and oxidized past the paint, then you won't have an easy time of it. Commercial rust removers can be found at your local Home Depot, Lowes, etc.

If the rust is deep, you can 'sand' it off with steel wool. Get two grades, one kind of course, one extra fine, and use the course first, then the fine for finish and touch up.

It will now be shiny metal and will need to be sealed with a primer and then coated with appliance paint.

All of which can also be found at your local home improvement store.

Hi K.,

You are so lucky to know that he is the love of your life. Back to the stove, "Bar Keepers" removes rust. You will find it in same place a Ajax or Comet. I once removed all the rust from my 10speed Bike that sat outside for a year! Good luck.

I've used steel wool on some metal products, and it took the rust right off - I don't know if it will work, but it's a cheap thing to try. Good Luck!

Maybe try SOS steel wool/soap pads.
