As long as you're going to repair that washer, renovate the bike as well. Full-strength CLR or Lime-Away will remove much of that surface rust. Use aluminum foil or #0000 steel wool to lightly rub the more rusted parts. Don't forget the spokes!

Remove all the old grease, as it's full of debris right now and is more of an abrasive paste than a lubricant. There are several ball bearing sets that would need to soak in kerosene first. Clean and lube the chain as well; soak the chain in kerosene, then dip it into a can of melted paraffin. You can use white lithium grease on parts that won't be seen, and regular grease on the more visible parts. The "PTFE" in that grease is Teflon, one of the best lubricants available.

The small parts may be a hassle to clean by hand, so ask around for anyone who hand-loads ammo. Ask to use their vibrating case cleaner, or find someone who has a small media-blasting cabinet. Use glass beads; bring your own supply.

Would also be worth the $15-20 to have a bike shop correctly tension the spokes (and fine-tune the rest of the bike). I'd wager it's never been done, and having a wheel collapse at speed is not a good thing.
