Spread a few pieces of old newspaper to protect the floor or any other surface you plan to work on.
Tip! It can also make the cleaning process smoother as the rust residue will fall onto the newspaper and all you have to do is throw them away.

Use a blade scraper to scrape off the surface rust off your rusty saw blades. Hold your blade scrapper at a low angle and use short strokes that move from one end to another.

Use thin sandpaper and some paint thinners to speed up the process of derusting your saw blades if necessary.
Tip! Don't forget your face mask when dealing with paint thinners!
