How can I get rust stains out of my bathtub?

Question

How can I get rust stains out of my bathtub?

Answer 1

The works! They make a tub and shower cleaner works good. It may sound funny but you can also use the works toilet bowl cleaner.. It takes out the toughest rust stains you can imagine in a matter of seconds.. no scrubbing! I have well water and without this stuff would die! Try it!

Answer 2

CLR... For calcium, line and rust. Lyme-away is a must... wait...

Answer 3

CLR works well. You can get it at most stores (USA)

Answer 4

Whatever you decide to use, DO NOT use any abrasive cleaner like Comet or steel wool pads. They'll leave scratches. Sheesh... I wonder why some people answer questions such as yours when they haven't the foggiest idea what they're talking about!



The ones who said Coca-Cola...think they might be worth a try. My son-in-law uses that for stopped-up drains, and I never woulda believed. However, what I've used in the past is Soft Scrub. Look for it in your grocery store around the Comet. A-Jax, etc. powdered cleansers. Soft Scrub is non-abrasive. I try always to keep it on hand for cleaning my porcelain areas (sinks, tubs, rangetop) and countertops. Have used it several times for rust stains caused by shaving can rings in the bathtub and shower area so I know it works. Pour it on and let it set a few minutes...then work it into the area with a circular motion.

Answer 5

If the porcelain is in reasonably good shape and you don't want it to get worse, use a chemical such as CLR or Clorox Cleaner or ajax powder on it according to instructions. Wipe with a sponge & rinse off with lots of water.



Careful of using anything abrasive on your fixtures because they can permanently scratch plastic, metal and porcelain surfaces.

Answer 6

Try those Mr. Clean sponge things they are white on both sides and get anything out. Trust me on this one they work amazingly and not too much elbow grease needed. Just dampen it and go go go..

Answer 7

Try Mr Clean erasers!

Answer 8

lime-away works too!!!

Answer 9

GO TO HOME DEPOT AND IN THE PLUMBERS ISLE THEY SELL ASPRAY BOTTLE CALLED ''ELMIANATER , WORKS GREAT

Answer 10

I highly recommend Bar Keeper's Friend. It's the best $2.00 I ever spent and it will get anything out (including the rust stains in my porceline sink in about 10 seconds) Rub it in with an abbrasive pad or sponge and it will work like no other.

Answer 11

You can use most of the products mentioned here, but until you get rid of the source of the rust this will be a continuing effort. Imagine what the rust is doing to the inside of your water heater. You may want ot get that flushed out and checked. A lot of times they will explode, or start leaking causing water damage.



You probably have well water which is not filtered. Consider investing in a water filter, at the main water intake valve if you are not able to connect to the city water supply. Minerals in water can cause lots of damage. Teeth stains, clothes never get really clean, hair won't lather up while shampooing, damage to washer and dishwasher. Pipes may need to be replaced prematurely.



Been there done that!



Good luck!

Answer 12

Pumice Stone



To get rid of rust stains in a tub or toilet, just rub gently with a pumice stone. Works like a charm.



Whisk It Out



An excellent product that I have used to get out rust stains is called Whisk Rust Stain Remover. The bottle says that it will get rust stains off white sinks and toilet bowls. Both are porcelain, so this product should work on your porcelain tub. The product produces a chemical reaction, which removes the rust. I have used this on clothes with rust stains, and it was successful every time I have used it. This is an wonderful product!



Hydrogen Peroxide



To remove rust spots from tubs and sinks cover the rust spot with a few drops of hydrogen peroxide and sprinkle with cream of tartar. Let sit for 30 minutes and wipe off with a sponge.



Barkeeper's Friend



The easiest way to get rid of rust stains on almost anything is with a product called "Barkeeper's Friend", which is a very mild scouring powder. The can even says you can use it on clothing. It really works!





The Works



I purchased a product called 'the works' (hard water formula) at Wal-Mart for $2.00. It has worked great! I had rust stains from my well water and they cleaned right up without wiping.



Naval Jelly



Go to the nearest automotive store and get a bottle of "Naval Jelly." It's used to remove rust from metal surfaces but will not hurt porcelain if not left on to long. You may have to apply it a few times to dissolve all the rust, but it will surely work.

Answer 13

Make a solution of 10 parts water to 1 part bleach. Soak a sponge (it will ruin the sponge that you are using) place it on the spot that you want to remove. Let it stand for ten minutes. Ring out the sponge and wipe down the area. Repeat if necessary until the spot it removed.



You can also try water and baking powder. Add enough water to the baking powder to make a paste. Use an old toothbrush to work into the area. Let it stand for 10 minutes then wipe it off. Repeat if necessary.



Also try putting a lemon in the microwave for a few seconds, that will release the juices. Cut the lemon in half and rub it on the stain. Lemons are good cleaners for many different things and they smell good too.

Answer 14

I've tried both CLR and Lime Away and I think Lime Away is more effective. I did some experiments.



My detatchable showerhead was clogged up with calcium deposits so I soaked it overnight in a bucket of CLR as shown on their commercial. It really didn't do much. It was 25% better at most.



On the other hand, I had a screw that was practically pure rust. I soaked it overnight in Lime Away then the next day I rinsed it off and it looked like a new chrome screw. I was shocked. That stuff really works! It was like the rust was never there. I don't know where the rust went... maybe I'll see it again in Heaven. :-)

Answer 15

There are many things you can use to get rid of rust. all of them can be found at LOWES or HOME DEPOT. Even a cheap way is to use regular old ajax or comet and apply some scrubbing force. now once you have cleaned the rust stains flip your shaving creme can over and apply a thin layer of vaseline to the bottom of the can around the ring and it wont ever leave a hard stain again

Answer 16

Well here's something different from the other answers.



Walmart carries a product called Super Iron Out.



It works very well on any rust stains we've used it on. We have had the same problem in the shower from the shaving cream can.



Also Super Iron Out will clean the brown iron discoloration from inside your automatic dishwasher, off your silverware, your dishes, etc., etc., etc.



It can also be used to "brighten" up your white laundry.

Answer 17

Coco cola will take rust off of a bumper, you might try a little of that. if it too advanced, there is a rust remover called "Naval Jelly" which is an acid and has to be used with safety glasses and a mask.



You can use it like I do, but I am extra careful when handling any caustic substance. Also the least expensive of the lot would be Comet. It contains a bleach.

Answer 18

1. Pour a pile of table salt on top of the rust spot then squeeze lemon juice over it. Let this pile of salty lemon juice sit for several hours, over night or longer. This will draw the stain out and you can actually see the rust in the pile of salt when its down its job.



2. Rub gently with a pumice stone.



3. Cover the rust spot with a few drops of hydrogen peroxide and sprinkle with cream of tartar. Let sit for 30 minutes and wipe off with a sponge.

Answer 19

Try a pumice stone. Yes the kind that you would use on you feet. I have had similar stains and found that using the pumice stone with a good cleanser gets rust stains off bathtub and also good for toilet rings. Try on small area first since you didn't say what material your tub is made out of (fiberglass, ceramic, marble, etc.)

Answer 20

Comet spray bathroom/shower cleaner (its not abrasive like some Comet cleanser is). All you have to do is spray it around the shower/tub, let about twenty minutes go by, and you can wipe it with a paper towel most of the time (and, of course, a cleaning brush makes it even easier).



You can also just spray it on the tub/shower after the last shower of every day, and within a few days everything will be sparkling clean without your doing any scrubbing at all. Its cost 1.99 where I live, so its inexpensive.

Answer 21

Wal-Mart sells many differant products that remove stains of all kinds, one of the better ones is CLR..You also can go online and read many differant things (not just rust) that vinegar will clean! Here is the site! http://www.vinegarbook.co.uk/vinegar_tips_for_cleaning.shtml

Also, powdered chlorine mixed into a pase applied and let soak for about 15-30 mins, depending on how bad the stain is.

Good luck and happy cleaning!

Rev.Susan

Answer 22

Comet powder and a little elbow grease. It also gets permanent marker off of walls, some plastics etc. Also Whink - in the laundry section is specifically made to get rust out of laundry and it does work on stains on tubs as well.

Answer 23

use softscrub it has bleach in it, once you get rid of the stains buy the shaving cream brands that have the rust proof bottoms or if you don't want to spend that much on shaving cream (like me ) buy the cheap stuff but balance it upside-down when you aren't using it. the top is plastic so it wont leave a ring

Answer 24

Take a Cotton ball and put bleach on it and rub it over the spot. Let the bleach sit for about 5 or 10 minutes and then rinse it away. Bleach is the only thing that I have found that REALLY gets stains out of my shower/tub.

Answer 25

Can't go wrong with CLR. You can find it at most major grocery stores and home improvement centers like Home Depot. The Coke trick works well too, but it must be actual Coke(not diet, flavored,caffeine free). It eats away at metals based on iron because of it's chemical properties and man made ingredients. Don't start freaking out about drinking it because of that unless of course you have an "Iron Stomach".

Answer 26

Consult a professional who does this kind of tasks. Do not take undue risk, with arbitrarily selected cleaners as they may spoil the bathtub, further. A professional will not only clean the stains, but will also bring back the original finish.

Answer 27

The works! They make a tub and shower cleaner works good. It may sound funny but you can also use the works toilet bowl cleaner.. It takes out the toughest rust stains you can imagine in a matter of seconds.. no scrubbing! I have well water and without this stuff would die! Try it!

Answer 28

Mr Clean Magic Eraser

Answer 29

If you're looking for household remedies, the ball of aluminum foil with coca-cola works if you're tub is made from aluminum - as this remedy works well on your folding lawn chairs.

Other household items work on various surfaces, so you might give them a try...



cider vinegar cleans almost anything

catsup (acidity from tomatoes)

sprinkle with salt, and rub with the cut side of half a lemon



Maybe you can find a small plastic lid to store under the shaving-cream can.

Answer 30

Try Comet powder with bleach. It cleans without scratching the enamel coating on the bathtub. It is available in the market in US and Canada.

Answer 31

I have water which has Iron & Sulfer in it & I get these stains.

There's a product in the store call "Iron Out" it works great!

It's a power & very strong so you must make sure room is well ventilated.

I also found out the brake parts cleaner will work sometimes but be careful its highly flammable!

Answer 32

Once the enamel damaged, then you have to clean the rust and touch-up with tough coat of enamel paint, still it's only a temporary protection from further damage, you have maintain this..

Answer 33

DO NOT USE : Brillo pads ( they are steel wool with soap in them), any kind of metallic scraper or scratcher, razor blades, brush with metal core, abrasive powder etc.



Get the Soft Scrub with Bleach. Put gloves on your hands. get s soft cloth like an old wash cloth or dish cloth. (The cloth you use will get bleached out.) Just follow the instructions on the bottle. A bit of the Soft-scrub with some water. This is also safe for fiber glass tubs. It may take a few minutes but it will work.

Answer 34

I would use an abrasive cleaner maybe comet or something with a rough texture, then make a paste rub it in with a light steel wool and it should go away. If that doesn't work try toothpaste that stuff might lighten the stains.

Answer 35

Pour a pile of table salt on top of the rust spot then squeeze lemon juice over it. Let this pile of salty lemon juice sit for several hours, over night or longer. This will draw the stain out and you can actually see the rust in the pile of salt when its down its job.

Answer 36

Just last night I cleaned mine, getting rid of the rust stains. I used a new product called Kaboom sold in grocery stores, it worked great.

Answer 37

Make a paste of baking soda & vinegar. The strength of the mixture depends on the severity of the stain. It should be the consistency of loose Play Doh. You can also pre-treat with a weaker solution of the same mixture.

Answer 38

I tried a product called White Out , it is supposed to remove rust from clothes, I put the powder on the spot and added water to make a paste and left it on for about an hour..... worked great.
