I bough a ton of these amazing vintage French skeleton keys but when they got here {from France!} they had tons of rust. So of course I googled “removing rust from keys” and it told me to get coke, brand name, and put the keys in it. So I did this and yes, it removed some of the rust. I didn’t want them perfect just a bit cleaned up.
So now my 2nd question is after reading this blog post are you ever going to drink Coke again? I hope not! I don’t care for soda {I love coffee} but my hubby does…he knew this little trick and of course I said to hi…”you knew this and still drink soda!” Crazy!
I am gradually bringing in these awesome keys to the shop in Falls Church and out the barn so come and see us. They are awesome as a home decor item but also on a necklace free form…love them!
love these:-) vintage from France
Hi Kelly, I stopped drinking any kind of soda (esp. Coke) when I learned that if poured on a car … A CAR … and left there it will eat through the metal. That’s just BAD … Now coffee, that’s my weakness and last time I checked it didn’t eat through metal : )

My hubby steals mine to clean his golf clubs – and I still drink it. My only addiction. Put I figure if our stomach acid can eat metal then I am probably okay.
