Home Maintenance Hacks | Stop Tools from Rusting

Keeping up with home maintenance can be a busy challenge for anyone. Preventive maintenance can help reduce stress and time spent on basic home repairs and replacements. Check out today’s home maintenance hack: How to Stop Tools from Rusting.

You can keep the metal tools and hardware in your toolbox rust-free with blackboard chalk. How so? Chalk is a moisture sucking material that traps dampness. When you place several pieces throughout your toolbox, its porous nature will protect items prone to rusting.

Bonus tip:Got a musty closet? Fill up a small muslin or cheesecloth bag with chalk and then hang it inside. It will absorb the dampness and stinky odor.
