How do I get rid of very, very stubborn stains in an old cast iron tub
This tub is very old, but want to keep. has really bad water stains. This is a cast iron tub, with a porcelain finish.
I had a water stain on mine and used tooth paste on a soft cloth in a small area which acted as a mild abrasive; looked good so I continued - then use grade 6 steel wool (it's very fine and often used in finish repair) to complete the job. Used paste wax on my high shine finish table and it was perfect!
I can't think of any solution but to sand table top and re-varnish,or consider painting with wall or chalk paint.
It looks like the burn is just in the top coat (shellac or poly if it's newer). take some toothpaste (not the gel type) and rub it with a damp cloth. The touthpase has pumice in it which is a very fine abraisive that will cut thru the top layer of the coating. (this works great for water circles also) afterwards polish with a good furniture polish. If that doesn't work then the burn is too deep. The only other option left is to refinish the tabletop. If the piece is old and/or very valuable, then take it to a professional restorer. They may be able to repair it in a way that will not destroy its value. Otherwise you can paint it, cover it with pennies or tile, mosaic, decoupage, or host of many other ideas you can find right here on Hometalk. Good Luck
I have heard of using Vaseline over night and then wipe off with a lintfree cloth or I have also heard you can you baking soda or salt with alittle water to form a paste and gently rub I used this and it took several attempts to get rid of the stain and it did but be careful not to rub too hard if you use salt as it may scratch alittle bit I used oil polish after and it shined right up
I use steel wool 00 to buff out the buildup.
