Does vinegar remove rust or increase rust. Half the articles say remove the other half say promote. What's what?
I think that the point is: 1) if you have rust, then vinegar that contains acetic acids, will dissolve your rust 2) if the steel or iron doesn't have rust, then vinegar can rust the steel or iron 'cause it contains an acid.
