The Cleaning of Blades

Thanks Kai, I look forward to your further information.

However, if acetic acid evaporates and leaves no corrosive residue, is the same true of other acids, for example, say, hydrochloric acid?

Does this evaporate and leave no corrosive residue also?

If acetic acid is permitted to evaporate slowly, at a lower temperature, what is the residue that is left?

I use lime juice or citric acid as Marco does but it usually leaves a yellow stain on the blade. I don't know how to get rid of it and stays on the blade until it gets the warangan treatment. Any advice?

Hello Paul,

like you and Marco I use citric acid for cleaning blades, use hot water and soap to remove the the yellow stain.

Detlef
