THE WORKS
Cost only $1.00 at Wal-Mart and it cleans stains on contact! Wash away with hot water.. Amazing and inexpensive! Used it on all the toilets and sinks when we bought our new home.. impressive!

If the stains are the result of lime scale any mild acid will take it off (with a bit of rubbing) If it is stained with iron the best way is to use a solution of oxalic acid - about 1oz. to a gallon of water and used warm - a bit stronger if the stain is very stubborn. Rinse off the sink very well as the solution is very poisonous. I use this method for cleaning iron stained mineral specimens and it never fails.

If the stain is from mildew or mildew, it truly is advisable to objective something like enable the bleach sit down a at the same time as till now you scrub it out. If it truly is from mineral deposits, attempt CLR. Now, you will possibly attempt Oxyclean: i've got used that on a style of very stubborn stains, and it does artwork. or you will possibly even attempt a mixture of vinegar and baking soda: i exploit that to sparkling and sweeten my kitchen drains, and that i exploit baking soda particularly of scrubbing powders which incorporate Comet in many circumstances. solid good fortune!

try the cleaners that have been recommended by the other answers, if that don't work rub a wet pumice stone on stains. Make sure you use water when rubbing, this will not scratch the porcelain tub.

I always use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. You can buy these at Walmart, and their relatively inexpensive. Just add water to the sponge, and that's all you use. No harsh chemicals, and they really work. I too have a porcelain sink, and mine shines like new, after cleaning with one of the Magic Erasers.

It's probably rust or iron deposits from the water. I have had great luck with " The Works" tub and shower cleaner...it removes soap scum, rust,and hard water stains. All you need to do is spray it on and wait 30 seconds then rinse completely.

CLR. It stands for Calcium, Lime Rust, and will kill almost any water deposit stain known to man. It can be bought at almost any hardware store, as well as K-Mart and Walmart. It come it a gold bottle with the name CLR printed onit. Try it. It really works.

Just a heads up....NEVER mix comet and bleach. It creates a potentially deadly gas. You are lucky you are here to write in to the web site.

Use Oxyclean. Put just a little water in the powder and make a paste.
