On the inside? Your only hope is just flushing the system; find one ball valve, sweat or threaded, with a hose cap on the bottom. Attach a garden hose to it. Find another one, preferably as far from the first as possible. Make sure both valves are open, and run the water. Make sure the supply valves are shut, though, or you'll just have more of a mess than necessary. Seeing as they are not AC/R pipes, you shouldn't have to replace anything liquid wise.
Note: I'm a steam fitter, so I might be wrong. Not sure of what type valves Plumbing pipes use.
On the outside, just sand it with the same grit sand paper you'd normally use to prepare it for soldering.
Hope this helps.
Iron rusts easily when combined with water, and drain pipes have water flowing through them. If iron was used, the pipes would rust within a few days.

Copper has several redeeming qualities. It last long, does not rust, and won't grow bacteria. It also does not interact with water, making it good for pipes.
No most certainly not, firstly, if laying copper water pipes and then you lay wiring next to it, it doesnt matter how much of insulation there is it will cause electrolosis. And weaken the pipe causing it to burst therefore affecting the electrical wiring and water and electricity do not go well together. Secondly chasing galvanised pipe into a wall is definitely not recommended because when the galvanised pipe "sweats" it will start to rust as the moisture just sits in the wall also causing the pipe to burst and affecting the electrical wiring. There must be a minimum 200mm between the chasing for electrical wiring and plumbing pipes.
I think it might remove rust AND pipes. Be careful with that stuff.
Yes it sure does however salt water would have a far greater effect on the corrsion.
Copper is a strong metal that will never rust. When dealing with water, this is a must. (Teehee. I rhymed.)
Steel wool works really well.
If the plumbing in your house is old, it is probably rusty water pipes or rust from within the Hot Water heater. Des Perado
You can remove rust from your car by masking off the areas affected. Then use a sanding tool to remove the rust...usually down to solid metal if there is any, if not it will need to be patched. Always remember to wear safety glasses and gloves.
Tarnishing involves oxidation on metal. Some examples include rust on pipes and coins, and corrosion on items made of silver.
Plastic pipe does not rust, brass does not rust, copper does not rust. Stainless steel does not rust, lead pipe does not rust.
You need to seek the professional help of a plumber who will help you remove the pipes.
It reacts with Iron Oxide
Rust is not toxic but it is disagreeable.
