What is white rust?

White rust is a white chalky substance that forms on galvanized steel. White rust is
unfortunately a frequent problem when it comes to galvanized steel. So how does that pertain to you
and your home? Air ducts are made from galvanized steel. When your air ducts are exposed to moisture
in the air then the white rust starts to attack your air ducts. When your HVAC unit starts up, it then
blows the white rust around your home making it look like dust. Have you ever dusted then what feels
like a day later you have a build-up of dust on the surfaces of your home? This could be white rust. It
also attacks the metal of the ductwork over time. No matter how many times you have your air ducts
cleaned you can still have white rust in your ducts. No form of air duct cleaning can 100% rid your
galvanized metal ducts of white rust. So, what is your solution to save you hours of dusting?
