What gets rid of the redish/orange deposits that water leaves in the tub?

Question

I get the redish orange mineral deposits (I think that's what they are) in my bath tub and on my dish drying rack underneath where the water collects. I can't quite get the ones in the tub off because they are on the caulking on the inside of the tub. I sprayed it with lysol hoping to kill whatever it is, but it comes back! HELP!

Answer 1

Try a limescale cleaner this is usually strong enough to remove even the most stubborn stains.

Just be sure and rinse well after.

Answer 2

CLR will work like a charm.  You will find it in your grocery store cleaning products aisle.

Answer 3

It sounds like what you are seeing is essentially liquid rust. Try CLR - it worked for me. You can find it at Walmart, your grocery store or drug store (like CVS, Rite Aid or Walgreens) with the cleaning products.

Answer 4

CLR or Kaboom should both work.
