Subject: [Puptcrit] Old Fashionned tool Advice?


Hi all.

I'm worried about my favorite file. It's a big one, a half circular shape. I must have forgotten to wipe it dry after rasping some fresher wood or something else. It's got some rust on it. It doesn't seem very deep. 

How can I remove it?
I'd prefer some safer alternatives before I attempt to use CLR or vinegar on it (corrisives).
I do have a steam machine that comes with hard brushes. But since steam is water, would it be safe to use if I dried it right after the cleaning job?

Is there  way to treat the metal to prevent rust, without risking transfering such a treamtent to the surfaces I'll work with the tools?

Such advice could come in handy for my other classic tools as well.
Thanks in advance!
