How do I clean rusty metal rivets on a leather wristband?
I bought a really cool Black Leather wristband with brass rivets while on vacation. I was not aware that the rivets could rust. I have tried soaking in vinegar and scrubbing with baking soda then treating with oil, but the rust keeps coming back. Should I have the rivets replaced or is there a way to clean it?
I've never cleaned brass myself (usually silver), but I found these two, very informative websites that might help you find what will work best for your situation...
