Waysouth on Sep 10, 2013I successfully used a method found on this blog, it uses citric acid easily found in the baking section of the supermarket. The article is about cleaning toilets, but also explains how to clean baths and sinks http://simpleliving-sherrie.blogspot.com.au/Helpful Reply

Therese Ryan-Haas on Sep 11, 2013Have you tried CLR or Maybe a little of the "Works" toilet cleaner. I used Works on a toilet that was badly rust stained from well water. It was like a miracle.Helpful Reply

Waysouth on Sep 12, 2013The link still won't show! Anyway, basic formula is 50g of citric acid powder to 100 M&S of water. Spray and leave a while. Bad stains, wet the area and dab on powder, leave to soak . Citric acid is used in jam making, to make drinks etc. you will find it in the supermarket.Helpful Reply

Paula Garcia on Sep 14, 2013I like Therese have used "the Works" on hard water stains and it does work great. We are on well water and it is very hard so I keep a bottle of this in both bathrooms. Good luck with your sinks.Helpful Reply
