Natural Rust Inhibitor

As long as the baking soda residue is on a ferrous metal surface, rust will not form. For rust to form, free moisture and an acidic condition must exist.

In most cases, free moisture combines with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to form carbonic acid. This acid releases a free metal (ferrous) ion, which combines with oxygen (oxidizes) to form rust. Baking soda buffers the acids, prevents the release of free metal ions and prevents rust.
