How long do you hold the treated item in the vinegar?
The white vinegar I use is the same as used for cooking and you buy it at your local Supermarket. To my knowledge it has no alcholic content.
You can either place the blade in a suitable trough to soak, or as I normally do, put in a suitable length of plastic pipe which is plugged at one end.
If you don't have a suitable trough or pipe, then just wet and rub the blade with a rag soaked with the vinegar.
Time needed will depend on how stubborn the rust is, but you will soon see progress.....it works quite quickly.
