ok help!!!!!!!! my bathroom counter had a basket sitting on it... having a 2 year old that likes to wash her hands and the entire counter i never bothered to wipe down the counter, figued its water it will dry..... well cleaning the counter this evening and moving the basket theres orangish rust kinda colored stains. I tried muriatic acid and that didnt even cut through it.... also tried clorox clean up or something to that effect. So im pretty much at a loss as to what to use. I ve never found anything that muriatic acid didnt clean!!!

Leave Ajax or Comet on it for awhile and then go back with a scrubber. Or try leaving the bleach there for awhile, it should work. I have the cheap countertops that anything that I leave on it can leave a stain...

Try a rust remover like rust out or yellow out just use plenty of ventilation as these things are strong. You can also try something like zud or soft scrub just work in a circular motion. It will come out. You didn't mention what material the bathroom counter is made of. If its marble be careful you cant use everything on marble it will strip the finish.

if it rust marks usually comet or soft scrub. But their is something called rust remover i not sure of the real name but you can usually find it in the cleaning aisle of the grocery store. If not go to like home depot and ask someone or just call and ask for someone that takes care of kitchen counter tops they would probably know just what to use. Good luck

Use a product called "Rustbuster." We use it at Yale University custodial department to take mineral and rust stains out of tile and carpet.

I suggest AJAX cleanser w/ bleach. Leave it on overnite....scrub thouroughly w/ HOT water stain should fade.

The product CLR (calcium, lime, and rust remover) will probably do it -
