Answer 2

Hi,

Heavy, stubborn rust stains can often be removed by oxalic acid stain remover compounds such as Zud or a tri- chloro-melanine compound such as Barkeepers Friend. Follow directions carefully.

For rust stains already set on bathroom or kitchen plumbing fixtures, dissolve oxalic acid crystals in hot water and add enough whiting or talc to make a soft paste. Apply this poultice to stain and let dry before removing. Rinse and polish.

Use with care: It is poisonous.

Best luck.

Answer 3

There is a cleanser known as CLR that removes Calcium, Lime, and Rust deposits...you would 'plug' the drain and add the solution directly to the problem area...allow it to soak...repeat if needed until the stain is faded or removed. It works good to remove scum and scale in bathroom shower and around the sink areas, too.

Answer 4

There's a product designed specifically for the removal of rust called Zud (real product name. and can be found at Wal Mart or Costco on the aisle with other cleansers such as Comet). Lime-Away will also remove rust.

Answer 5
