Best way to get rid of rust stains?

Question

I have some rust stains on my toilet and by my toilet on the floor. I tried using comet and a brush to try getting it off, but it won't work. What are some other methods or products I can use?

Thanks

Answer 1

Try a brillo pad.

Answer 2

Try that "CRL" (Calcium, rust lime) solution, you can find it at hardware stores.

Answer 3

the "works" toilet bowl cleaner. drain the water from toilet pour it on the rust stains and let it sit a bit, if it is really bad try using a non-abrasive scrubbing pad with it....wear rubber gloves it burns your hands. you can also use it around the toilet as well, be careful to rinse it well after you get it clean.

Answer 10

You need a product from your local grocery store or hard ware store called CLR, others have mentioned it and this is the FIX ALL for many unsightly rust stains and mildew marks.  You'll never be without a jug of it at home after you see how good it cleans things up.
