Kenon Apr 3, 2018Would help to know what kind of tiles. Porcelain tiles have a completely different surface from terra-cotta tiles and will require a different approach. You might try a product called CLR.![Janet Pizaro]()

Janeton Apr 3, 2018Try cor or for a more greener clean up try equal parts lemon juice and borax, or try salt and vinegar but let it stand for around 4 hours then scrub with a pumice stone-

Lin2214093on Apr 3, 2018Thanks for the replies, they are porcelain tiles. Will check out CLR but not sure it is sold in the UK.![Patti Nicholas]()
Patti Nicholason Apr 17, 2018See if you can find a product called Barkeepers Friend. It is made of oxolic acid which is fairly ecologically friendly, isnt dangerous to use even without gloves, and won’t damage the porcelain like a pumice stone can.i own a housekeeping company and I’ve used this on many porcelain tubs and sinks that have new and very old rust stains and it works every time. It also polishes chrome beautifull.

Lin2214093on Apr 4, 2018Coke was the first thing I tried but unfortunately had no effect, going to try lemon and salt next.![Linda Davis]()
Linda Davison Apr 4, 2018have you tried CLR. I've used it on lots of things, even pool tile.![Lin2214093]()
Lin2214093on Apr 7, 2018Can't buy CLR in the UK, will try lemon and Borax. Also came across Hammerite Rust Remover. Thanks for all your replies
