Careful, that rusty appearance might be a sign of mildew. While the suggestions of cleaning it with bleach might be a good idea, I'd caution you to avoid spreading it to other areas. When you touch a spot that has mildew on it, there's a likelyhood that spores might transfer to whatever you are using to apply the bleach or other cleaner. I'd suggest application with rags that you can toss away, and throw the rag in the trash after a few wipes.

Even this can be simply a stop-gap application. If the mildew has gotten embedded in the grout, it will return again and again. The resource I've listed below suggests removing the grout and replacing it with a kind that is mildew resistent.

Personally, I've found that Clorox Clean Up gel and either a firm toothbrush, or a tile and grout brush ($.97 cents USD) works fine. My house is all ceramic tile floors except for the bedrooms, and my grout looks good, and it only takes an hour or so to do the whole 1000 sq ft.

Spray with a mixture of 1/2 bleach and 1/2 water.. Let sit 10 minutes, then spray again. Use a toothbrush on harder areas. Rinse off. Wear rubber gloves and a facemask for fumes cuz they can be really strong. You should always be careful when using Bleach - read the entire bottle B4 even using one droplet!! What is happening in your bathroom is, mold is starting to grow from the excessive moisture, and your water has a lot of minerals in it, iron being one of them which adheres itself to mold thus giving off the "rust" color. The bleach will kill the mold and whiten your rust spots. You can also try Erase, because it's good also.

I have recomended this to everyone so far and I swear on CLR it works for any type of rust or lyme or mildew. I buy the kitchen and bathroom cleaner in a yellow spray bottle, spray it on let it sit 15 minutes rinse it off then spray it again let it sit a few minutes and scrub only there isn't a whole lot of scrubing to do. Good Luck but I think once you use it you will never use anything else I haven't

You should read Laura Jefferson’s book "Skin Whitening At Home" ( I saw it's also available in electronic format +video: http://www.skinwhiteningathome.com ). After 8 weeks I managed to get my skin a few tones whiter and I also got rid of freckles.

The method she teaches in her book is natural, inexpensive, and is readily available in most homes. You could even find some ingredients in your own backyard. The most wonderful thing about the method she shares in her book is that it will help you whiten or lighten your skin pigmentations, freckles, age spots, acne marks, dark underarms, melasma, or your overall skin color easily and naturally without breaking your bank or producing dangerous side effects. Good Luck!

There are special removers for grout, most of them with bleach.
You can also try anti-calcaire products that clean and make tiles shiny as new.

Answer 11

Just plain old bleach and a tooth brush. I won't use the tooth brush after tho kinda gross...lol. You are more than welcome to use all the expensive products out there the magic pen thinging and everything but sometimes the old way is the best way. Good luck on your de-rusting of the shower.
