Question Removing Rust from Showers

We are in Florida where there is a lot of well water which means a lot of rust to remove from showers and toliets. We have been using a product called "The Works" and it has really worked great, but now it is VERY hard to find. I'm not sure whatelse to use that does not cost a fortune since this is something we have to use often. Any suggestions?

I second the question bc my company has an inordinate number of clients who think keeping shaving cream and other metal cans in the shower is a good idea.

rust and other stains can arise from hard water mineral deposits found particularly with the use of well water having high iron content … there is a product called ‘Toilet Ring Remover Pads’.. these pads have a short handle and a particular pad. you wet the pad, use short vigorous strokes and the scale and staining comes free from the porcelain …

Hello friends,

Here are few tips on how to remove rust from showers

# Pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a clean damp sponge. Rub the sponge over the rust stains on the shower then rinse it.

# Spray oven cleaner onto the rust on the shower. Allow the cleaner to stay on the shower for about 20 minutes. Rinse to remove.

# Sprinkle some salt on a damp sponge. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon onto the salt. Apply the mixture onto the rust on the shower with the sponge. Press the mixture against the rust spot and leave it there for a few minutes. Scrub well. Rinse with water.

Sold rust remover are very effective in removing rust stain. Wear gloves when your work on this products because they contain acid. You can also clean discolored porcelain fixtures with a paste made of cream of tartar moistened with hydrogen peroxide with lemon juice. Scrub the paste into stained area with a brush, and rinse well.

Oooh. Good one.

I don't clean professionally anymore, but I get a little overtime to clean the loos at the factory I work in. I do a quick and dirty once a week on our six bathrooms and was planning to leave the rust stains be until I read this post.

if i come across that problem, I use a scouring pad and some sort of a creamy cleanser and scrub like mad. It does the job. I hate using harsh smelly chemicals. i find using this method I usually get the job done.
