How to Remove Rust in Bathroom?

My mother shared with me a trick on how to remove rust in bathroom and it works so well. You can simply cut a potato, dip it in salt, and rub it directly on the rusted area. Trust me, it works like magic and helps you clean the stained surface in minutes. In case the stain is hard, make a paste of baking soda and vinegar, apply it to the stained area, and finally wash or wipe it with water or a clean cloth, respectively.

How to Get Rid of Bathroom Rust?

Here are three ways on how you can remove bathroom rust stains that you can implement without much hassle:

• Hydrogen Peroxide and Cream of Tartar Paste: You can mix up a paste of hydrogen peroxide and cream of tartar and spread it on the rust spots. Then, let it sit for around 10–15 minutes, gently scrub it with a brush or sponge and finally wash or wipe the area with a clean cloth.

• Salt and Potato Scrub: As I mentioned earlier, you can slice a potato in half, dip the cut side into some salt, and rub it directly on the rust. Once you’re done, rinse it or wipe it thoroughly and make the stained area shiny all over again. 

• Commercial Rust Remover: If the rust is hard, use a commercial rust removal solution and get rid of the stains in minutes.

You can even apply a paste of vinegar and baking soda to the stained area and wipe it off with a clean cloth or wash it off with water.

How to Remove Rust in Bathroom?

1. First of all gather supplies like white vinegar or lemon juice, baking soda, soft sponge or cloth and gloves (if needed).

2. Now, pour a generous amount of white vinegar or lemon juice onto the stained area. You should know that both vinegar and lemon juice contain acidic properties that help dissolve rust.

3. After this, you need to sprinkle baking soda evenly over the vinegar or lemon juice-soaked area. Baking soda acts as a mild abrasive, further aiding in rust removal.

4. Then using a soft sponge or cloth, gently scrub the rust-stained area in a circular motion.

5. Now all you need to do is rinse the area with clean water to remove the vinegar or lemon juice and baking soda. 

6. Once the rust stain is gone, dry the mirror or shower wall thoroughly with a clean cloth to prevent further rust formation.
