DoomsdaysCWSo, whenever possible, I stick to household solutions to remove rust -- lemon juice, baking soda, vinegar -- and a lot of elbow grease. As for rust-proofing the objects afterwards? That can be a bit problematic, since it seems most rust-preventing paints for metal contain PFAS (I'm looking into alternatives. Linseed oil paint might be good for metal). Mineral spirits and paraffin wax are another way to rust-proof metal, but both are petroleum products. Limonene and beeswax might be a petroleum-free way to rust-proof metal, but I haven't tried it yet (though I have both on hand).

What started as a tool share in Berkeley, California, has turned into a volunteer-run group that has organized more than 1,300 repair events around the country. At Fixit Clinics, people can bring any broken household item — from worn socks to broken toasters — and learn how to make them functional again."'During the last few years, interest in repair has exploded,' Mui said."He attributes this cultural shift to a growing awareness about the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environmental</a> impact of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EWaste</a>, as well as a raft of 'right-to-repair' laws passing across the U.S. Historically, manufacturers of computers, cars and tractors have cited copyright law to claim exclusive repair rights, allowing them to sue independent repair companies while preventing consumers from finding lower-cost alternatives."But in six states — California, Colorado, Minnesota, Maine, New York and Oregon — <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RightToRepair</a> laws have been passed to protect consumers’ ability to repair or modify their products instead of having to go through the manufacturer.

Some narrowly target automobile manufacturers while others are broad enough to cover all consumer electronics.
