However, there is a way how to remove rust from ice skate blades. Here are some tips on how to do it:

The first thing you should know about removing rust from ice skate blades is that it depends on the place where you have rust. Rust on blades, for example, can be very different from rust on other parts of an ice skate. If you have rust in the middle of the blade then it is coming from the spring mechanism and if you have rust between your foot and blade it means that You use too much water when cleaning after skating.

If your problem is the same as mine (rust in-between your foot and blade) then my advice is to clean this part because everything else should be done by a specialist.

Reducing the amount of water while cleaning after skating will help prevent rust to appear next time. Additionally, soaking blades in vinegar before each practice will also reduce the possibility of rust appearance. In the last case, I suggest using white vinegar because red or other colors of vinegar may cause paint damage.

After removing rust from ice skate blades (or any other part) it is necessary to protect this part with special oil or grease which can be bought in any sports shop. It will help the future prevention of rusting.

If you want your skates to look good and at the same time you would like them to last long then do not forget about rust removal and caring about skating and believe me, they will serve you for a very long time.
