Soaking rusted iron in phosphoric acid will clean the rust right off and leave a bright shiny metal behind. You can get it at lowe's, usually sold as rust remover or something like that. Look on the bottle to see if it has phosphoric acid.
It converts the rust into iron phosphate, which can then be cleaned off.
