Clur Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I've come back from 2 weeks away on business to a house that looks like a bombsite (but the kids and pets are fed and watered, so I am grateful really!). Amongst other things, one of my little darlings has left a tin bucket in the bath and it's gone a little rusty and the rust marks are now all over the enamel bath. I've tried bleaching it but no luck. Has anyone got a handy hint to help get rid of it? Don't fancy forking out for re-enameling it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Oh dear Clur! I have found this, don't know if it will do the job but worth a try http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_5154173_remove-stains-enamel.html?cr=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Astonish gets rid of most stains. I left a food tin (washed and ready to go in the recycling!) on the side of my sink and it left a rust stain, but Astonish got rid of it. It also removed some nasty marks from the inside of a lovely piece of Spode Corinthian ware I found in a charity shop I think you can buy it from Lakeland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I have black rubber marks on my bath and was told to use brasso which worked a treat - it wasn't an enamel bath though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I'd try bicarb on it or one of the those non abrasive scourers you can use on non stick cookware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Bicarb works brilliantly. Just make a paste rub it in gently and leave for a while - you might need a couple of goes depending on how much rust has developed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missuscluck Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 brasso or any other metal polish. I have some metal polish called Peek Polish and that gets rust spots off my enamel bath no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
