How should I get the rust off my wedges?

Dear Golf Nut, I have some rust that has developed on several of my golf clubs, in particular my wedges. What is the best way to get this rust off?





The first thing that you want to do when cleaning your golf clubs, is to soak the heads in a bucket of warm soapy water for just a few minutes. Make sure that the water is warm, not hot. Also make sure not to immerse the heads too deep. You don’t want to allow the ferrules to touch the water. Keep them above water level.
After just a few minutes take the golf clubs out and wipe them down immediately. Gently brush the heads with a soft brush. I use an old tooth brush a lot. Now to focus on the rust, use some very fine steel wool. Rub the rusted areas very gently. You can’t always get the rust out depending on how deep it is, but steel wool works well on surface rust.
Take care not to use steel wool on any part of your golf clubs that are not rusted. This can cause damage to the clubs. Hope that this helps!
