probably not most effectively. naval jelly is hard to beat. but vinegar is a cheap way to remove rust from some objects. ***Sandpaper removes rust. Then, coat the object in oil by rubbing an oily cloth over it. I do use vinegar on my birdbath. It does a really good job and is good for the environment. sanpaper also removes metal. ask a car restorer about the difference between a sandblasted car body or a chemically dipped car body.
Vinegar is a dilute solution of acetic acid. Acetic acid will react with rust to form a soluble salt that can be washed away.
3CH3COOH + Fe(OH)3 --> 3H2O + Fe(CH3COOH)3
The acetic acid in vinegar forms a soluble salt with iron, and the hydrogen ion of acetic acid unites with hydroxide ion in rust to make water. Hence insoluble rust is converted to water soluble species.
It makes metals rust because it has acids in it which effects the form of the metal and then in rusults make it rust.
Zinc will corrode in vinegar faster than salt water
Bleach works by oxidizing the stain it's treating. "Oxidize" means it removes an electron from it, so the bleach removes an electron from the stain. Rust is also formed by oxidation, the removal of an electron from a metal. So if bleach can remove an electron from a laundry stain, it can also remove one from a metal.

Most rust can be removed by a steel brush if its not to rusted
vinegar rusts may things including nails, steel or aluminium foil. they say that it also removes rust. i don't know i'm only eleven. i'm looking for answers coz i didn't do my science experiment
The acetic acid in vinegar attacks the iron and oxidizes it to rust.
as vinegar is CH3CO(OH) it contians O2 thus it can rust a screw.
Vinegar dissolves rust. If you want to remove rust from an item soak it in vinegar for a bit and that should help get rid of it.
Actually, vinegar and saltwater makes it rust... it happened to me...
BLEACH
i think vinegar will make a nail rust faster because vinegar will makes the mental with iron in them.
