The rust from my sarbloh kara has been staining my shirts and also ripping them. Are there any specific sarbloh kara's which won't do this?

it needs polishing ive not com across the miti in UK but u need the white miti u find every where in india

BUT dont worry u can still clean it all u need is lemon juice, a pott and some water

pure some water into the pott start boiling it add the lemon juice put in ur kara remembering to have spare one on u so u are not with out ur 5 Kakars let it boil for like 8-10 mins

Than take out Kara and get a brillo clean of the rust

hope this helps

Here is something I came across almost by accident. I had run out of WD40 to clean my sarbloh kara and it was rusty again. In desperation I used some vegetable cooking oil on it after I had scrubbed it clean with a brillo pad and dried it off with a clean cloth.

I found this actually prevented rust a hundred times better than using WD40.

I usually use a dab of olive oil for it now. I found this also stops the brown ring I used to get on my forearm too. The kara is also much more resistant to moisture now.

After you've removed all the rust and dried it, get a clean piece of tissue and dab a bit of oil on it, then rub this all over the kara with the cloth. After it is covered in oil for a few minutes, get another clean cloth/tissue and wipe off all the oil.

Try it and see if it works for you?

When I had the same problem , I used wire wool from any diy store. It's excellent and only takes a few minutes of rubbing.

    • So, are you saying Guru ji isn't God? Or are you saying the British encouraged this belief?
    • Part of the problem is the hostilities between India and Pakistan. If the border were open, Amritsar would easily become a huge trading city. Secondly, the National Highways Authority of India is constructing a new 6-lane expressway from Kashmir, through Amritsar/Jalandhar/Ludhiana to Dehli which will be part of the Ludhiana-Delhi-Kolkatta Industrial Corridor.  Maps of the New Silk Road show Kolkata as a key part of the "road". The Punjab to Kolkata expressway and rail connections will fulfill the ability to hook up to the New Silk Road.  In addition, while crossing to Pakistan via AH1 (Asian Highway 1) is difficult, India does connect to AH1 on the other side, towards the East. Finally, Punjab can trade with the world via Mundra port in Gujurat. Rail to Mundra, then sea onwards. Dubai is very close with a free port. If you send products to Iran, there are ground links onward to Europe.
    • Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.
    • You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.
    • You don't need to wear either a pag or dumalla in the gym. You can simply wear a meter or 1.5m small turban (gol pagg or round turban). It doesn't come off.
