Remove Those Toilet Rust Stains!
Monday October 29, 2007
Rust stains in the toilet, tub or sink can happen for a few reasons. But mainly it's caused from a high iron content in the water and is particularly common with well water systems.Getting rid of rust stains from porcelain can be difficult to impossible if you use common household scouring powders. They work great for food stains but won't work for removing stains from rust and mineral deposits.
In the tutorial Removing Rust Stains From Toilets, Tubs and Sinks, I'll tell you about a several different products and methods for ridding your porcelain of those unsightly rust stains.
I can not even believe the picture that went along with this article. As a full time working professional woman it really bothers me. Please join us in 2007.
Oh please…lighten up! We’re talking about cleaning a toilet bowl here, not your career.
Pumice??? You’ve got to be kidding — my husband RUINED the relatively new toilet with it.
And I don’t care if you show a monkey cleaning the toilet in the picture. I actually found it kind of amusing that it looks like a family outing.
LOL family outing! You have to remember that back in the 50’s they apparently didn’t have much to do. (C’mon Carol, “monkey” is a little rough though!).
Sorry about your husband’s bad pumice experience. You have to be careful with that one but it does work if done properly using lots of water and GENTLE pressure.
It’s called routine maintenance using good ajax once a week
Dear PETER!
You do not know how many times a week I SCRUB my toilet….This does NOT work.
Routine maintenance? Hahahahahahaha
This kinda upset me!
Amazing !!!
There was a nasty rust mark in the toilet bowl of my rental property. Tenants were complaining. I tried CLR, Iron Out and lots of scrubbing. All no use. I started checking out to replace the toilet.
Then I came across a forum, where our net friends mentioned about Lysol Power. With mixed feelings I tried it. Just poured it inside all around. About 30 mins later I went to check. And the most amazing thing happened. There was no rust mark anymore. It disappeared like magic without any scrubbing for less than 3$.
My respect of Lysol has increased a lot. Folks, try this magic liquid for removing rust.
I have found that using “Barkeepers Friend” and a clorox Magic Eraser works very well and it doesn’t take much time. Where I live the iron in the water leaves streaks that I have to work on at least every other day. This combination works well.
Get a grip Tiffany.
I just found something that works s.o.s. pads and scrubbing very hard
Tiffany,
As a woman in 2009 (or 2007) you should be confident enough in yourself to not be bothered by antiquated images of housewives cleaning toilets
As Dave said…Get a Grip.
Now, I have to go and get my toilet scouring dress on…I have important housework to tend to.
You were right Mjoy !!
Tiffany sounds like an Obamunist.
We have received fantastic (a bit stimulating) before and after photos from our customers that use our phosphoric acid based product.
I am the president of the company, and I am the one that cleans the toilets in our house! When you have the tools jobs can almost be fun.. almost.
