Rust stain on tiles

8 replies

I'm trying to clean a rust stain from the tiles on my bathroom wall but can't shift it! Does anyone have any advice? I'm wondering if I need to get a pumice stone at it.... the tiles are 'textured' rather than shiny and glazed, if that makes sense, so can probably withstand a bit of abrasion.

Bicarbonate of soda would be my first choice for a good job (mix into a paste with water, leave on for an hour or two, then scrub away and rinse). You could also try cif cream.

Cillit Bang works like a dream!

I’d give Jif a go.

Have similar rust stains, so watching with interest.

Thanks all - I have already tried cillit bang, bleach and salt. (Not all at the same time!).

off to try giving it a good old scrub with wd40. Will let you know how it goes!

Woo hoo! It's gone!

Scrubbing with wd40 alone didn't work but then I used sandpaper to gently scrub and that shifted it!
