Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda. Picked it up at the local grocery store. Found it next to the generic clothes detergents.

A while back I found a page on the web where a guy dunked his entire frame.

No... doesn't work on non-ferrous metals... aluminum doesn't 'rust'....rust is iron oxide.

The solution will darken wood. Doesn't damage plastic.

Btw, avoid using this technique on thin spring steel... it will weaken the molecular structure. It's ok to do on coil springs so long as it isn't left in the vat for weeks on end. It has a lot of mass so the treatment only affects the crudded surface.

Yeah but those companies typically use a caustic solution in their tanks. This washing soda solution can be used to water your landscaping.
