Does anyone know how to remove rust spots from a bathroom counter?

What about trying CLR? Supermarkets and big box stores carry it. And if that doesn't work, how about trying Bar Keepers Friend? Or, baking soda and lemon juice in a paste form might work, too. What ever you try, let us know what works for you. Thanks.

I'll usually attack unwanted rust by making a lemon juice-salt paste. I just rub it all over the unwanted rust, leave it for about 2 hours and come back to wipe it off- rust and all!

There are some other suggestions here

Let us know what works!

Wink is the best stuff for removing rust from almost everything.

This is a method that I have used with success. But I wouldn't use it on certain countertops. If it is marble/stone, I wouldn't use this but if it is laminate it should be fine. I have even used it in porcelain sinks. Removing rust stains: Mix one teaspoon cream of tartar with ¼ cup baking soda. Add hydrogen peroxide a little at a time until a paste is formed. Rub the paste on the rust spot. Let sit for 30 minutes and then clean with a damp sponge.

Not knowing what the countertop is made of I would try baking soda and white vinegar into a paste or plain white toothpaste.Test a small spot first.

Thank you I'll defiantly try this out.

Most important question is what is your counter made of? Not all cleaning products can be used on all surfaces. While I love barkeepers friend, it is oxalic acid which is not safe to use everywhere. Even vinegar can do damage to some surfaces. Please provide more information and I'll be happy to let you know what we use at our company

Wink is the best rust remover ever...but very caustic. You'll need to read directions carefully, in case your surface can't take it.

Thank you Debra I'll be sure to read the instructions first.

I will surely try this out this weekend.

Thank you

Use H2O2 to the counter. It is very powerful and can remove the spots at just a single use.

Cerama Bryte is like Bar Keeper's Friend but gentler in my opinion. I would do a small test spot and try it.

If you spray white vinegar on it, let it soak for ten minutes or so, and then scrub it with a sponge, it can help dissolve rust. A paste prepared with baking soda and water or lemon juice can also be used. When you leave it sit on the stain for a while, it works exceptionally well because it doesn't evaporate as rapidly as white vinegar.

Hi Donna, hope this helps you. You need baking soda and lemon juice

Hi Doonna: You can spray it with WD40 Rust Remover, it removes rust, among the other wonderful things that it does, Rust Removal Solution for Tools & Rust Remover Soak | WD-40 (wd40.com) Or, you can pour some Coke on the counter and leave it over night. Here's a site that tells you how to do that: How to Remove Rust with Coca-Cola | Hunker. Or, if you want other ideas, check this site: remove rust with coke - Visicom Video Search Results (yahoo.com)

My husband has a can of shaving cream that has a rusted bottom, I put a yogurt lid on the bottom of it and no more rust on the countertop. You might want to put a barrier between what you have that is rusty to help relieve this situation.

In the meantime to clean it off, I use lemon juice covered with plastic cling wrap over it. If that does not work make a paste of baking soda and peroxide.

Could try WD-40, or Barkeepers Friend!

I would use Rustoleum rust remover or Rust 911 Ultra Concentrate..
