Dangers of Rust in Cutlery

There are many dangers of eating off of rusted cutlery. The risks have nothing to do with the common belief that you can get tetanus by eating food from rusted silverware. Rust cannot collect inside the body by merely eating food that has been served in rusted flatware. Nevertheless, there are many dangers of using rusted cutlery.

Risks

• Iron

  Rust consists of iron particles deposited on utensils. Water and air oxidize steel in cutlery causing it to develop rust or iron deposits. The amount of iron in cutlery that accidentally mixes with food is quite small to have any harmful effects on the body.
  
  Some argue that small quantities of rust may be beneficial to the body because the body requires iron. The common misconception that you may experience rust buildup in the body by eating off of rusted cutlery is just not true. You will have to ingest excessive amounts of rust for it to cause a problem.

• Tetanus

  It is possible to contract low levels of tetanus if you eat from cutlery that is so rusted that some of the rust falls off the utensil. If you ever contract tetanus from utensils, a single tetanus shot at your local hospital will be enough to cure it. You may also get tetanus if you cut yourself with a knife whose blade has rusted.

• Removing Rust

  There are simple steps you can take to ensure that your cutlery is rust-free. Replacement is not the best option for cutlery with small amounts of rust. Rust Be Gone is designed to attract iron particles in cutlery and prevent them from rusting. This product is safe to use in your dishwasher or utensil drawer.
  
  Rust is often associated with tetanus, which is a dangerous health condition. Rust contains many tetanus-causing bacteria. You could get tetanus if you are scratched or cut by rusty dishware. Rust Be Gone helps to protect you and your family from getting tetanus from rusty silverware.

Knives and Rust

If you have noticed signs of pitting, staining and rusting in your silverware, you should take steps to ensure that you use clean flatware. While all kinds of dishware may be susceptible to rust, knives are particularly more likely to rust. This is because knife blades are primarily made of carbon steel, which makes the knives harder and more durable.

Why Cutlery Gets Stained

• Main Culprits

  Several factors may cause your dishware to rust. Harsh detergents can cause rusting in cutlery over time. Prolonged exposure to moisture can also cause your flatware to rust. When you leave cutlery in the sink, on the counter or in your dishwasher, acid and moisture from food residues may cause them to rust.
  
  Putting your cutlery in the drawers before drying can cause them to rust. Some people defer washing their dishes and cutlery for a day or two. The delay exposes cutlery to moisture and air that could cause rust.

Tips & Tricks

1. Clean Thoroughly

   There are several steps you can take to protect your cutlery from rust. First, wash your dishes immediately after use and then dry them all together before storing the cutlery. Although it may sound a little like hard work, it will prevent your expensive pots and cutlery from rusting.
   
   Consider storing your cutlery according to material or composition. For example, store stainless steel hardware separate from other types of cutlery to protect them from scratching, and wear and tear.
   
   Avoiding leaving your cutlery with food remains after use. Acidic and salty food on cutlery can cause it to stain or rust. Rinsing your cutlery after use and placing it in the dishwasher will help prevent rusting. Nevertheless, leaving your cutlery in the dishwasher for days without washing them can cause rusting and staining.
   
   Avoid leaving washed and wet cutlery in the dishwasher for prolonged periods. Instead, take out the clean cutlery and wipe it dry or take it out of the dryer and place it in a cutlery rack to dry.

2. Pack Lightly

   Avoid over packing your cutlery basket. Instead, consider investing in a quality grid that does not let items touch each other. Make sure that stainless steel, copper and silver wares do not come in contact with each other. Otherwise, contact would result in a reaction that may cause staining.

3. Wood and China

   Wood, china and plastic wares should be cleaned separately and not in a dishwasher. Only use the dishwasher if the cutlery is labelled dishwasher-safe. In addition, avoid pouring dishwasher detergent directly into the cutlery. Some cleansers can cause silverware and stainless steel to stain and pit respectively. On the same breath, make sure your cutlery is not soaked in soap, bleach or salt solution for prolonged periods.

4. Cleaning Aids

   Keep your cutlery away from abrasive cleaning aids. Wipe off stains and other marks off your cutlery using non-abrasive cleaning paste or liquid. Be sure to use cleaning aids that are specially formulated for your dishware.

Expert Recommendation

Experts recommend you wash knives by hand. Washing knives by hand will help prevent the development of rust and prevent their sharp edges from deteriorating. Knife blades deteriorate when they bump into other dishes in the dishwasher. In addition, it may not be easy to spot sharp knives hidden between the rest of your cutlery.

Conclusion

Rust and stains can be quite unsightly, which is why Rust Be Gone comes in handy when you need to remove unwanted stains in your dishware. This product is affordable and extremely easy to use. You can place it in your dishwasher or in your drawer to remove stains from your cutlery.
