Cleaning a rusty shower caddy can be difficult, but keeping one rust free is easy with a bit of prevention.
Things You Will Need
-
Gently scrub away any current rust with a rust-removing cleaner or piece of steel wool. Be careful not to remove the chrome coating on the caddy.
-
Rinse and dry the caddy thoroughly.
-
For small areas where rust often occurs, paint the dried caddy with clear nail polish to seal the metal. Rust occurs over time as water and air corrode the metal. Sealing the metal will protect it from these elements.
-
Polish the entire caddy with clear boat wax or water-repelling car wax. This process needs to be repeated once a month to ensure a nice seal.
-
Spray the entire caddy with a clear coat of a rust-preventing paint, such as Rustoleum. Coat the entire caddy evenly and allow to dry thoroughly before placing it in the shower.
