The best way to take off rust is to probably try a product called CLR. Obviously, this is an abbreviation for the word "clear" because this product is known for having the strength to clear away rust stains. Rather the stains are in the shower, on a bicycle or anything else, the commercial states that it really works. Good luck.

That is the one product I was going to recommend. Depending on where the rust is like on a some metal you can also use a fine steel wool. My late husband used it to remove the rust on his motorcycle and it never left a scratch. I wouldn't use it on precious or really soft metal though, it could leave scratches.

I have had good luck with oxyclean, it took some rust off for me before, you should try it. Just let it soak for a while.

The most crude is sand blasting or bead blasting.
Some other techniques:
1.Remove loose rust and coat the metal with a product like WD-40.
2.Use sand paper and steel wool .
3.Etch with Phosphoric Acid.
4.Use a solution of 1 part black molasses and 9 parts water.
5. Electrolytic rust removal.
