Cape Cod Magnet Crew

I’ve been using this method, and it has been incredibly effective! So, without further ado, let’s dive into the details of what I did that yielded excellent results.

Here’s the process:

1. Start by gently scraping your magnet with a non-abrasive tool (avoid metal) to remove any excess debris or metal fragments. Afterward, wipe it clean with a dry towel or cloth.
2. This step can be approached in one of two ways. You can either create a 50%-50% mixture of water and vinegar, or simply use soap (like Dawn) and water. Submerge the magnet entirely or apply the solution directly to the magnet, then wrap it in a towel. Check it after an hour or two, and if it’s still damp, you should be able to scrape off any remaining residue and begin scrubbing with a brush. Make sure the brush is not abrasive or metallic to preserve the magnet’s integrity.
3. Since vinegar is acidic, we want to use soap and water to thoroughly remove any traces of it.
4. Once you’re satisfied with the result, ensure the magnet is completely dry.
5. Finish the process by spraying your magnet with a rust-repellent product, such as Fluid Film or WD40.
6. Wipe it down and store it for future use!
