Store in a secure location away from high-traffic areas.
9. Cleaning and Restoring a Rusted Flower Frog
Brush off loose rust with a wire brush. Avoid vigorous scrubbing.
For deeper cleaning, use rust remover or a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. Soak for a few hours, then scrub gently.
Dry thoroughly and apply a clear sealant or wax to prevent future rusting.
Test cleaning solutions on a small area first.
