As that web page suggested, rebar is a good choice for the anode since
the resulting mess is just regular old iron oxide and water. I made a
mistake and used chrome-plated bolts the first time I did it and
really did create some sludge that didn't belong in the storm sewer.
It was time-consuming to seperate it out from the water and dispose of
it.

One other thing to keep in mind is that it does produce hydrogen gas.
You probably wouldn't want to do this next to, say, your water heater.

Whatever you clean this way needs to be dried quickly and then coated
with oil or something to inhibit rust or it will just start rusting
again, and fast.

It really does work like magic though. I had to see it to believe it.
