how do we stop these from rusting?

They are canning jar lids so they are pretty durable. We hand wash and dry or put them in dish washer.

Dry them well - scrub.I have had some problems with the area around the straw insertion. Stopped putting it in the dishwasher. I hope this helps

I have been using it every day since I purchased it, and there are no signs of rust. I rinse and dry it thoroughly every day.

Anything that's metal isn't rust proof, however you can have it powder coated which is a plastic type coating. That should stop the rust.

I've only had them since the first of July however I would be very surprised if they would rust.How many do you need I do have some leftover.

I have had them for probably4 months and they haven't yet. It seems like they are coated with something to prevent rusting? (By the way they feel.)

I have been trouble by the rust as well.... I have had mine for about 6 months too, and use it constantly.... Any ideas would be helpful because I LOVE this thing!!!!

Yes they will rust.. But they still work great even being rusted. If you could put some type of spray on it that didn't have a odor that would help prevent the rust.

We have had no problems with rust. But we are mindful not to leave them sitting in water or wet for a long period of time.

Mine rusted. I had bought others, but, of course, can't find them again! I wouldn't waste my money on these.

Yuri, I have several of these in various sizes and I usually hand wash them with regular dish soap and let them air dry in a dish drainer. In most cases the wire clamps have not rusted, but two of them have. I'm not sure why. The only explanation I can come up with is that the wire had a rust resistant coating that wore off after repeated washing. The rust was superficial and came off with a steel wool pad. Now I make sure to dry them thoroughly. I hope this information is helpful.

I think they might rust, but they are metal powder coated. Maybe outdoor under cover would work. I do love mine, but I use them inside.

I have used my cables a few times, but not have had a rusting problem. I would suggest you contact Security Chain Company. Also, if there is a lot of salt used in your area it would make sense to rinse your cables and if possible, hang them to dry.

I haven't noticed any rust issues, but maybe you can spray paint or clear coat them.

They're made of die-cast aluminum so they won't rust. Source: Hy-ko catalog online.

I'm not sure if we've had that issue with these mops, but other similar mops we've used in the past have gotten rusty. Maybe put some CLR on it to loosen any rust?
