I used a rust remover that seems to give good result.
Rinse after with water to remove residue.

Between the combination of the hotest day in many years and really bad
batch
of alkaline batteries, I have several devices with a crystaline residue
from
the batteries leaking.

Besides brushing with a succession of stiffer brushes, is there some
chemical
that can safely remove it? It's all on metal contacts in plastic, but some
are
surrounded by anodized aluminium.

Thanks in advance,

Geoff.

To help restaurants, as part of the "stimulus package", everyone must
order
dessert. As part of the socialized health plan, you are forbidden to eat
it. :-)
