My house is a little bit old. It has metal case windows. The windows are rusting nowadays so fastly. Can you share some tips to remove the rust?

There are many ways to get rid of rust which use everyday household products that you probably already have. To begin with, you’ll need a scrub brush, rubber gloves to protect your hands and a spray bottle. You can use products like bleach, borax, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, etc. Spray or apply it to the rust. Wait for 10-15 minutes and scrub appropriately. You can Scrape off the corrosion on the window case with a wire brush. However, if the rust is spread over a larger area, it's always better to call in a professional.

That is good advice. The INISIDE of my windows were rusty and (in the kitchen) covered with grease from the previous tenant. I spent days trying to scrape all the mess off. Pretty successful too. I used steel wool (actually Brillo pads!) and a stiff scrub brush. I chose not to use any harsh chemicals and didnt need to. It just took elbow grease!
