"My swing-handle can opener is completely rusty. This happened to my last one, too, and I had to throw it away. Is there any way to clean it instead? Judy Rosenberg, Monsey, NY, via e-mail It sounds like the rust is forming because there are parts of the can opener you can&amp;#039;t properly dry after washing it. Use white or apple-cider vinegar and a toothbrush to scrub away the rust, then rinse off the vinegar thoroughly. Dry the opener with a hair-dryer (be careful, though \u2014 the metal may get hot), making sure to get into all of the crevices. When it is dry, lubricate moving parts with a little mineral oil.  How it worked for Judy: &amp;quot;At first the rust wasn&amp;#039;t budging, so I filled a bowl with white vinegar and soaked it overnight,&amp;quot; says Judy. &amp;quot;All the rust flaked off. It looks amazing now!&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
