Use washing soda 40 gm and citric acid 100 grams and a couple of drops of washing detergent in a litre of water you will get great results in an hour give it a quick scrub and put it back for longer for any remaining rust its the best mixture i have found i just derusted some tools came up great.and you can tip it in the garden its not toxic
I wanted to use baking soda since washing soda is hard to find, and/or expensive where I live. Did you use ultrasonic cleaner or not? I think this method may be too aggressive for that.
I have been getting better results by mixing the chemicals more carefully. Also, you are missing the surfactant -- Dish Soap in the US or Washing Up Liquid in the UK. Reminder: Add the washing up liquid only after combining the water, baking soda, and citric acid or you will have another foaming problem.
Thanks for the comment and great suggestion! I forgot to mention on the video, but i had premixed my water with dish soap. I'm pretty confident that exacerbated my foaming problem...
