Is CLR cleaner available in UK? If not, what does it contain that removes rust.?

Question

I asked yesterday what causes rust stains on a white shower tray and how do you remove it. I was told use CLR but I've never heard of it. I presume this is from USA. Is there a UK equivalent?

Answer 1

if you are trying to remove rust from porcelain, than you would use a phosphoric acid solution, and if you are cleaning a tub, or sink that isnt porcelain than you would use an oxalyc acid solution..

The very easiest way is to go to a drug store and buy a little muriatic acid. Where rubber gloves, goggles, and OLD clothes you don't care about. Paint a little on the shoe. Scrub with an old brush. Rinse off the shoe gloves(if your keeping them) and goggles. Take a shower and throw away your old clothes. The rust will come off quite rapidly as the acid literally dissolves the rust on contact. However any where the acid lands on your clothes will cause a hole. When you are done it will look new. However I don't go to this trouble if I am putting it on a horse. I just put it on rusty, but then again I just trail ride, so am not worried about a little rust.

If the nails are still in the shoe chances are that they are ceased, so I would use Crown Oil spray, or WD40 (not as good) we all have a can of that oil around somewhere. Spray it on the nails liberally. Let it set like over night if you like...then punch the nails out and brush off all of the dirt that lossened with the oils spray. Now for the rust...get some household vinegar...(again I am sure we all have that around too) leave the shoe in the vinegar over night and then the next day the rust should be pretty well gone..if not encourage with a brush or file or steel wool As soon as you are finished with getting the last of the rust off...dry the shoe off, make sure it is really dry, use heat if you have to...then as soon as it is dry spray the shoe with a protective coating of verithane, or that sort of spray...it will stay clean for ever with this.

Answer 6

I recently moved my metal bread bin and found rust stains on the work surface underneath. After scrubbing it until my arms ached with a scourer and CIF - and having removed more than half of it - I left it to come back to and finish off later when my arms didn't ache.

Later on that day, when my husband came home, he saw it and it had dried by that time. He simply got a dry piece of kitchen towel and rubbed it away with hardly any effort at all. As rust is caused by water he said that using water or any liquid to remove it just didn't make sense.

Silly me !!!!!
