How to Clean Rust Off Vikrell Tubs

Iron deposits in tap water can lead to rust spots in bathtubs and showers. If these spots are not promptly removed and cleaned, they can leave behind a rust stain. You can use some basic household products to easily clean the spots.

Things You'll Need

• Powder rust remover or baking soda
• Sponge or cloth

Instructions

1. Sprinkle a small amount of a powdered rust remover, such as Iron Out Rust Stain Remover Powder, on the stain. You also can use baking soda.

2. Dampen a soft cloth or sponge. Wring out excess moisture. Gently rub the powder into the rust stain. Continue rubbing until the stain is no longer visible.

3. Rinse the area with cool water to remove the rust remover residue.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not use abrasive pads or brushes to clean the bathtub, as they can scratch the tub's surface. Do not clean with acidic solvents; they can erode the materials used in making the tub.
