Cleaning Raw Steel

So long as the rust is not allowed to spread too deep into the steel, raw steel can be restored back to its former glory quite easily.

Apply WD40 to the rusted legs and allow to sit for around 30 minutes.
Take a kitchen scour pad (the green fabric type material) and apply more WD40 to pad.
Work the pad in a circular motion over all parts of the rusted steel. Apply more WD40 if it starts to dry out.
Wipe the legs with a dry cloth.

This is a good first step should you wish to paint your legs. Just remember to degrease to remove any oil prior to applying paint
