Traditionally, to remove rust and clean the keris, coconut water is used (use ripe coconut for better result). Remove the hilt and hilt ring, soak the keris blade in coconut water. Leave it for 1-2 days. It can take up to 3-4 days depending on how thick/stubborn the rust on the blade. Remove the blade approx. every 6 hours, brush gently with a tooth brush and rinse in soapy water. The rust will be removed and you will get the pamor pattern.
