i think that you should get the best of the best && the most heavy duty rod that there is even if its expensive it will be worth it instead of constantly replacing itt....just try to clean this next new one constantly with stainless steel products. get a stainless rod too.♥

You can remove the rust with a 50/50 mix of molasses and water, it may be a little messy but just paint it on and wait for the rust to lift, then give it a good wash. I think if you want to protect it your going to have to treat the rod with an anti rust preparation.

I'm not too keen on shower rods, but you probably want to look for something stainless steel. If it's too enxpensive or you can't find any, then you can always just paint the rod. Regular paint will keep thinks from rusting (that's why cars aren't bare metal).
Good luck.

in case your bathe rod is rusty and your opt to maintain its unique length (in diameter) you should use RUST CONVERTER-this chemical at the same time as utilized will convert the rust into iron and could follow the exterior of the metallic, to smoothen the exterior you want a sand paper. in case you want a finished eliminating of the rust without holding its length, then use RUST KILLER, this chemical completely dissolve each and every of the rust that the metallic has, then you actually smothen the exterior by technique of using a sandpaper. to maintain extra the metallic that you've de-rusted, be conscious some volume of epoxy primer paint.. All resources element out are accessible at your nearest hardware or vehicle-paint centre, any well-known variety will do.

You can buy a plastic sleeve that fits over the shower rod.
It's made just for that. I think I got some from Home Depot.
Couple of dollars each. They were white. I am not sure but I think I saw them in silver also.

Rust is caused by moisture. Wipe it off with a dry towel after the steam in the bathroom has dissipated. If it is metal you could also try spraying a bit of wd-40 on a cloth and periodically wiping it off.

Clean the rod with iron out, then wipe it with a little cooking oil. Do at least once a month.
