Aluminum oxide is a powdery, white or chalky coating that forms on the surface of aluminum due to oxidation. This corrosion process can cause a lot of damage to aluminum products and components, such as pots, pans, outdoor furniture, car parts and utensils.
There are several ways to remove aluminum oxide. One method is to use a solution of vinegar and water. Mix equal parts of these ingredients and apply it to the aluminum using a sponge or cloth, then scrub the surface until the oxidation is removed.
Another method is to use a commercial cleaner that is designed specifically for aluminum. Some of these products contain metal polishing compounds that can help to bring out the shine in your aluminum.
In addition to removing oxidation, these products can also protect the metal from further oxidation. This will extend the life of your aluminum products, and keep them looking great.
Removing Oxidation from a Hammered Aluminum Surface
If you have an item that is hammered, it can be difficult to get the rust or discolored spots off of it. This is especially true for a kitchen sink or other large-scale item that you want to keep in your kitchen.
Fortunately, there are ways to remove oxidation from a hammered aluminum surface that are simple and inexpensive. First, you need to find an open sink or tub in your house that can be used for soaking.
Next, you need to pour a mixture of boiling water, cream of tartar and some type of acidic ingredient like vinegar or lemon juice in the pot. After about 15 minutes, the oxidation and discolored spots will be gone from the aluminum surface.
