A cleaning enthusiast has shared her tip to remove signs of rusting from metal appliances within seconds, using ketchup.<\/p>\n
The hack comes from Sarah Brigstock, who took to Facebook\u2019s group for Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips after discovering an incredible method.<\/p>\n
She wrote: “Embarrassing really but this was the pedestal mirror that I have on my dressing table that had gone rusty from where I remove my daily contact lenses from their pot.<\/p>\n
\u201cI used the tomato sauce\/tin foil trick and look how well it\u2019s come up – so happy as I bought this mirror from M&S and didn\u2019t want to replace it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The post left users baffled, garnering more than 338 reactions from viewers who couldn\u2019t quite believe how \u201cgreat\u201d the mirror looked after the cleaning.<\/p>\n

Your mirror looks great\u201d.<\/p>\n To which the poster replied: \u201cProbably the combination of the tin foil and the sauce. So maybe wise not to swallow tin foil whilst dipping chips in ketchup\u2026 just in case.\u201d<\/p>\n When one viewer asked for more instructions on how the hack worked the poster answered: \u201cSquirt the sauce, scrunch up a piece of tin foil and use the foil to scrub the surface\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Another person joked: \u201cThat\u2019s all ketchup is good for […] brilliant job you have done though.\u201d<\/p>\n “That\u2019s a brilliant result, just as well you didn\u2019t rush out & buy a new one,\u201d quipped another person.\u00a0<\/p>\n One of the major reasons ketchup has been earmarked for its cleaning abilities is because it contains the holy grail ingredient vinegar.<\/p>\n The condiment is revered in the world of cleaning because it can cut through many different types of grime.<\/p>\n Experts at the Spruce have previously explained: \u201cEven the tomatoes contain a bit of critical acid like lemons that can aid in cleaning.\u201d<\/p>\n They added: \u201cKetchup, which most of us have on hand, can be used to clean lots of things around the house.\u201d<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
