Water leaked under a metal cabinet which i was unaware of and a year later I'm moving the cabinet and see thick rust.

    Rustoleum makes a great rust remover.

    Hi Debbor,

    Here's what I think is an interesting article about rust on laminate plus what works and what doesn't. There are several ideas here - both store bought and homemade for removing rust stains. If one method doesn't do the job, there are several options. I hope this helps you remove that stain! Wishing you the best.

    Hi Debbor. I'm Cindy. Make a paste with salt and lemon juice. Spread the paste over the rust stain. Then walk away. Wait at least one hour and then wipe it up. From the sound of it, you may need to repeat multiple times. Good luck Debbor.
