What can I use to scrub rust off of a fiberglass shower stall? Nothing I've tried works. Help!?

Answer 1

try a magic eraser (you know those white/blue sponges by mr clean etc) thay work great and no chemicals...

Answer 2

Zap or Whink rust remover...wear gloves. These are strong solutions. The Mr. Clean eraser sponges do a great job but wear down fast, use a cheap two sided sponge with the dark blue or green scrubbing side. Zap is my favorite rust remover for most all surfaces. Try using something called GelGloss, sold in pink cans. Thick white liquid, like car wax, apply like car wax and allow to dry a couple hours, rub off with damp, not wet sponge, not only removes rust, it puts a protective polish on the surface to prevent build up in the future. Can be used on any ceramic, porcelain or fiberglass surface without pitting or damage. Smells a bit waxy, but that doesn't last long and isn't toxic in the least.

Answer 3

Try a rust remover you won't have to scrub. But rinse it immediately and clean the stall with some 409 cleaner this will remove any of the remaining rust remover, rinse abundantly.

Answer 4

Try fiberglass boat cleaner. You can also use RV cleaner, but it doesn't work quite a well. The common cleaner CLR is also made to remove rust, but I would try it on a small spot first, as It might pit or discolor.

Answer 5

Rust stains

Spread a paste of hydrogen peroxide and cream of tartar over the area, and add a few drops of ammonia. Let it stand for 2 or 3 hours.

Good Luck !

Answer 6

Zap, found on hardware stores. Powered cleaner like comet or Clorox. can also try Lava soap works good for us mechanics, 100 alcohol may do the trick too.

Answer 7

Try WD40. Gently scrub with plastic scrubbie. Good luck.

Answer 8

CLR. (calcium/lime/rust) cleaner. I think you can get it just about anywhere. Don't breathe it in and wear gloves.
