Hi There,

I have a rust mark that is on my bathroom basin, I have tried Domestos to try and remove it, but no luck.

I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Have a nice day,

Lise :)

I rub them off with an old toothbrush and white toothpaste....it works and costs nothing! I keep old tubes and open them up....and old brushes especially for cleaning around the taps.

Hi Lise you could try a product called GUMPTION in the laundry/cleaning section of the supermarket its in a white tub with a yellow lid, think a bit smaller than a little margarine container. Its the greatist stuff i have 3 young kids and it even cleans up pen and texta off of a wall without being to harsh like sugar soap which i found wore some of the paint off.

cclabelle

Jiff every time

codge

a bi-carbonate soda paste might work

you can use few denture cleaning tablets (steradent) plug the basin and disolve 2-3 tablets in water.leave half hour then rinse. most marks are removed without damaging porcelain.

Metho spirits might work or CLR

to remove a rust mark on ceramic or enamel (such as bathtub) you could try WD40 or kerosene.

WD40 also acts as a lubricant. It works wonders if you have a rusty screw or bolt, or a door lock becomes "difficult". You will need something to remove it from your bath or basin.

Hiya shachah7,

I use Domestos, without mixing it with water, keep the place aired, gets a bit strong, but I have found it to be the best all round cleaner and germ cleaner too.

Good luck

clean ceramic tiles with methylated spirits or mineral turpentine if they are greasy. I also steam clean my bathroom and Kitchen tiles afterward to remove the spirits.

Hi Lise,
Have you tried rubbing with Jiff or Ajax cream cleaner. This worked recently for me.

I love the smell of Jiff.

Thankyou, much appreciated, I'll let you know how I get on, but if it's worked for you, should work for me too :)

Hiya krys,

Thanks very much for your reply, I used the Ajax on the mark, and
it worked for me too :)
So Thank you very much for that, as my bathroom basin looks much better now that mark has gone.
Thanks Again!
Have a great evening :)
