Rusted Cymbols got you feeling off beat? Read on to learn how to keep your cymbols in tip top shape!

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• extra large container
• vinegar
• mild soap
• sponge or cloth
• stainless steel cleaner/polisher

1. With a soft cloth, wipe away all the loose rust you can.
2. Next place one cymbal in a large container. Pour in enough vinegar to cover the cymbal. Repeat with other cymbal if you have two large containers.
3. Let this sit several hours - possibly over-night depending on how bad the rust is.
4. Again, take a sponge or soft cloth and clean the rust from the cymbal.
5. Repeat the last step until all the rust is removed.
6. Next, used mild soap and water to thoroughly clean your cymbal - removing all traces of vinegar.
7. Dry completely - water left on your cymbal will leave mineral deposits and cause stains on them.
8. Last, finish up with some stainless steel cleaner/polisher for a great shine!
