1️⃣ Sprinkle a generous amount of salt onto the cut side of the potato.
2️⃣ Press the salted potato directly onto the stained or rusty area.
3️⃣ Rub firmly in circular motions, letting the potato’s moisture and oxalic acid dissolve the rust or grime.
4️⃣ If the potato face gets too smooth or dirty, slice off a thin layer and reapply salt.
5️⃣ Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
