There is a product called CLR, it stands for calcium, lime and rust. Good luck.

Scrubbing bubbles and a cleaning brush. Make sure surface is wet, then spray. Let set about 3 minutes and then scrub in a circular motion and rinse. If it is an old steel tub you can use the WORKS toilet bowl cleaner if you rinse right away and WEAR GLOVES! With the Works, don't use on plastic or other materials. Only if it's an old ceramic/steel tub. You will see the rust run off as you apply it. For more modern tubs, you can try the Works tub & tile but I found it doesn't work as well as scrubbing bubbles. Good Luck!

The best way to get rid of the stains is with sandpaper. Use a fine grit sandpaper such as 600 grit. Make sure that the sandpaper is made for wet usages. Get the paper wet and rub away the stains. You are not using any chemicals which can be harmful to your health. Do not use a coarser sandpaper or you will scratch up the porcelain. This also works well for the toilet rings and marks

i have lived with iron in my water for years the only thing that will do it is toilet bowl cleaner called the WORKS wear gloves use a sponge. squirt the works all over the tub then use the sponge to get it on all the tub. if u have a window in there open it up . the smell is strong. then wash out the works and clean with soap to make sure u get the works out of the tub before bathing. it really does work.

My boyfriend's mom told me that the works work pretty good, but i try it and it didn't work that good for me. I've tried clr and i wouldn't waste anymore money on that stuff. It's just like pouring water in your tub. If you find anything that works let me know. I think i'll go with the person who said to use scrubbing bubbles. I think that would be your best bet. Good luck :)

First i'd plug the drain and fill the tub with water. Then i'd put in a pair of quart of bleach and enable it stand over evening. the subsequent morning drain out the bleach water. Then i'd sparkling it with a product referred to as zud. Zud is like comet yet cleans lots greater valuable. attempt it you will like it.

Get CLR in spray; the stain disolves right before your eyes. Just make sure you wear gloves because it is very caustic and can burn your skin.

Muratic Acid. Use it lightly, and be sure to have the window opened. It's used to clean pools with, and i've used it on my tub. It looks great.
