Brilio.net – Stainless steel spoons are the choice of many people because they are known to be strong, heat resistant and can be used for a long time. However, this equipment can still experience changes in appearance with use, especially if it is rarely used or poorly maintained.
One problem that arises quite often is rust spots on the surface of the spoon. Stains like this usually cannot be cleaned with just dish soap. Because of this, many people try various methods, including soaking them in vinegar. However, there is another trick shared by the owner of the YouTube account Azulni TV by using two kitchen ingredients that are easy to find.
The reason why stainless steel spoons can rust
Stainless steel is more resistant to rust than ordinary metal, but that doesn’t mean it’s completely immune. The protective layer on the surface can be damaged due to exposure to salt, moisture, or improper maintenance so that rust spots begin to appear.
The owner of the YouTube account Azulni TV also explained that there are several causes of rust appearing on spoons.
“There are many causes of rust on this spoon, one of which is the salt water in our house or the spoon hasn’t been used for a long time,” he explained, quoted BrilioFood from YouTube Azulni TV on Tuesday (21/7/2026).
In addition, leaving equipment wet after washing or storing it in a damp place can also speed up the appearance of stains on the stainless steel surface.
Tricks for cleaning rust stains on spoons without vinegar
According to Azulni TV, this method can not only be applied to spoons, but also scissors, ladles and other kitchen utensils made from stainless steel.
Required materials
– Soda water (cola)
– Baking soda
Steps
1. Prepare a container large enough to hold all the rusty spoons or utensils.
2. Pour soda water until all parts of the equipment are submerged. In the video, cola-type fizzy drinks are used.
3. Soak for about 30–40 minutes.
4. After that, lift one of the spoons and sprinkle enough baking soda on the rusty part.
5. Rub using a wire wool until the rust spots start to lift.
6. Do the same steps for all equipment that has been soaked.
7. Rinse using running water, then dry immediately using a clean cloth before storing.

Why does this trick help remove rust?
Cola soda water contains food acids, such as phosphoric acid and carbonic acid, which can help loosen light rust stains on metal surfaces. Meanwhile, baking soda has a fine texture that can help remove stains when rubbed without having to use harsher chemicals.
However, this method is more suitable for light to moderate rust. If the rust is very thick or the stainless steel surface starts to peel, the results may not be optimal. Rubbing too hard using a wire wool should also be avoided because it can leave scratches on the surface of the spoon.
Table of tips so that stainless steel spoons don’t rust easily
After the cleaning process is complete, the account owner recommends that all equipment be rinsed immediately using running water, then dried using a clean cloth. This step is important to do so that no residual water remains on the surface of the spoon so that the risk of rust appearing again can be reduced.
FAQs
1. Can all types of soda water be used to clean rust?
The method shared in the video uses cola-type soft drinks. Other types of soda water may not necessarily give the same results because the acid content can be different.
2. Can baking powder replace baking soda?
Not recommended. Baking powder has a different composition so its cleaning power is not the same as baking soda.
3. Can this method be used for stainless steel knives?
Suitable for stainless steel knives that have light rust stains. However, avoid rubbing the blade too hard so that its sharpness does not decrease.
4. Is it mandatory to use wire mesh?
Wire wool helps speed up rust removal, but it needs to be used slowly so as not to cause excessive scratches on the stainless steel surface.
5. Why do spoons need to be dried immediately after washing?
Water remaining on the surface of the metal can cause stains to appear, especially if it is stored in a damp place. Therefore, drying the spoon is an important care step.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
