Rust removal

[snogirl]

We have a cabin in northern Wi . This isn't a big problem but drives me nuts...we have an old white metal shower. After a few uses, it turns yellow from the iron in the water. Does anyone know a good easy way to remove it. I have tried CLRs and it works but takes tons of scrubbing. Don't want to use precious cabin time scrubbing a shower!

try Iron Out. Make a paste by adding a little water and rub it in, should take the stains off right away. If it really bugs you get a cheap water softener, add iron out to the salt and you should be rust free.

The Works Tub and Tile Cleaner. In my tub you can actually see the rust run down the drain.

I agree but it will always need to be cleaned after a few days of use.

X2 Iron out. A simple sediment filter can also help.

I use a liquid wipe on a rag and goes on very easy with no scrubbing. And wipes off when it drys all the rust w/o all the strong oders and gagging in an enclosed space. I just don't know the name of the stuff. Bought a supply a few years ago. I think its " Liquid Gell "
I'll let ya know.

* Gel Gloss - works great on fiberglass enclosures. I would think metal also

I've found nothing better than Iron Out. It's available in a spray too.

I have not seen the iron out liquid, will need to look for that. We had an issue where our iron filter went into regeneration during a load of white clothes. We soaked the white clothes in a sink with some iron out and 5 minutes later they were perfectly clean. Great stuff
