We’re sure you wash, sharpen and treat your carbon steel knives carefully. But, if they do happen to get a little damp - or you simply haven’t used them for a while - the odd bit of rust may appear. This new, gentler clean mate is specially made for kitchen knives - and will save getting your garden and kitchen kit mixed up.
Set the knife down on a stable surface, add a little water, and rub away rust with firm, even pressure. Wipe off any residue with a soft cloth, and dry your knife before storing it somewhere safe.
Keep a pot of water handy so you can re-wet the Kitchen Clean Mate as you go. Follow up with a light coating of camellia oil - an odourless, non-toxic, barrier that protects carbon steel knives against rust.
Please note, this clean mate is gentler than Niwaki's garden one, but it’s still abrasive and may damage the finish on highly polished, patterned knives.
