Rust Stain Removal
Updated: Dec. 15, 2022'Resin bed cleaner' simplifies cleaning off rust stains
Remove rust stains from toilets, sinks and bathtubs quickly and easily with the resin bed cleaner used for water softeners.
Remove rust stains
Throw away the scouring powder and pick up a bottle of resin bed cleaner used for water softeners (about $11 at home centers). Just douse the rust stains on the bathtub or toilet with a foam brush. It’s amazing. Usually the rust will disappear in a few minutes. But long-term stubborn rust buildup may take a few treatments. We’ve even used it successfully on acrylic spas. You really don’t want to scour those! Just try it first on a small area to make sure it doesn’t damage the surface.
