How do I remove rust and iron from my bath tub and bathtub handles?

Recently my daughter got rid of rust in her bathtub using Bar Keepers Friend. https://amzn.to/2NJhvmE

You may need a water softener if you don't have one and possibly an iron filter if you have a well.

Hi Sarah. Make a paste with baking soda and white vinegar. Put it on the stains and let it set for 15 minutes. Then scrub it with an old toothbrush. Rinse with clean water and wipe everything up with a clean damp cloth. You may have to repeat if stains are bad. Good luck Sarah.

I put CLR or vinegar on paper towel and let it sit on faucets where it's built up you need to move faucet handles around for them to loosen the deposits so they will move freely a stiff tooth brush helps get CLR/vinegar in areas too. I have to do this on mine every 2 mos. due to the hard water but it's cheaper than replacing broken ones mineral/rust deposits can eventually eat pin holes in the fixtures

Make a paste with salt and lemon juice.

CLR will work, moisten a rag or a paper towel with it, you can also wrap it around the handles.

Hi Sarah, hope this helps you. Make a mixture of 1 cup of vinegar to 1/2 cup water, spray on the rust stains. Use a scrub brush to clean the area and then rinse well. For weekly cleaning of rusty toilet bowls, add one to two cups of vinegar to the bowl and scrub with a toilet brush.

Rustoleum makes a really good rust remover spray.

1. Make a paste using baking soda and a little water. ...

CLR, a product used to remove minerals such as calcium, lime, and rust will work well. Just soak a cloth in the product and wrap around the areas that are in need of cleaning. I even add a plastic bag or saran wrap to keep the product moist while soaking the area clean. Rinse and dry well.

Try using WD-40 and a soft cloth. Leave to soak in a bit .

1. Use a rust remover. This one is probably pretty obvious, and if you’ve spent any time in your supermarket’s or hardware store’s cleaner aisle, you know that there are several different products on the market that claim to remove rust on contact. It really is true: rust removers usually work great because they immediately oxidize the rust without any scrubbing. All you have to do is rinse it away, and your sink or tub looks sparkling clean. However, many homeowners are hesitant to use commercial rust removers because they contain harsh chemicals that give off terrible fumes and can make you lightheaded. These products can even cause burns on your skin if they’re not handled properly. Plus, many people are looking for a more eco-friendly way to clean their sinks and tubs. If that’s you, you’ll want to try another method.
2. Use Shaw’s Pads. If you don’t mind using a little elbow grease, Shaw’s Pads are an effective, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly way to clean up stains on porcelain and ceramic surfaces. Plumbers swear by these because they work well and don’t leave scratches. If you can’t find them at your local hardware store, you can easily order them online. (https://www.shawspads.com/)
3. Use pumice. An ordinary pumice stone is also a good way to remove rust, especially from porcelain, since it won’t scratch or damage your surface. Simply wet the stone, wet the rusty surface, and then rub the stone lightly over the surface to remove the rust.
4. Use lemon juice and salt. Two pantry staples can work in combination to clean off the rust and make your kitchen or bathroom smell lemony fresh. Make a paste using salt and enough lemon juice (bottled is fine) to get a thick consistency. Apply the paste to the rust, let it sit for 15 or 20 minutes, and then scrub it off with a scrubber sponge.
5. Use baking soda and vinegar. For tougher rust stains, make a paste of two other pantry staples: three parts baking soda and one part vinegar. Apply it to the rusty surface with a scrub sponge, and let it sit for an hour. When you rinse it off, the rust should be gone, though, for more severe stains, you may need to repeat the process.
