If you have rusty weight plates, it’s time to clean them. Here’s how:

  1. Remove the rust with a wire brush.
  2. Pour a small amount of oil into the area around the rust and use a cloth to spread it around.
  3. Place a heavy object on top of the rust to press it down and make sure all the oil is absorbed into the metal.
  4. Let the plate sit for at least 24 hours or overnight to allow the oil to penetrate deeply into the rust and remove it completely. ..
