Try dipping in Evapo-Rust and then brushing with a toothbrush. :)
Does the Evapo-Rust then evapoate or do I rinse it off? I am afraid whatever I use will not "dry" completely.
I rinse and then blow it dry with my blowdryer just to make sure I get in all the little "hidden" areas.
I recently cleaned attachments by putting them in a vinegar solution and THOROUGHLY rinsing them in boiling water; patting them dry and putting them in a baking dish in the oven on low.** Vinegar removes rust also. You just have to make sure you get it rinsed well. They are very clean and don't even smell like pickles.

** would have worked to blow dry them... Charlee has a quicker mind than I do! LOL
