If it was really stainless steel it wouldn't go rusty! (the clue is in the name). More likely chrome plate on some kind of base metal and I think once the rust has come through, while you might be able it make it look a bit better with a kitchen scourer and some traditional Cif (if they still make it?), ultimately it will always go rusty again.,

Ah yes, Pink stuff, that's the modern equivalent of Cif

Oh yeah that's true. Most likely chrome stuff 😂

If you have any shaving foam then just cover it with that and leave it a few hours and wipe it off and that tends to get the bulk of it and then get the awkward bits with an old toothbrush.

@morbidd Try HG rust remover, it works wonders!

It's not stainless steel.
Most caddy's are "rust resistant" that means it will eventually rust when in contact with water. You need to spend more on a stainless steel one, it'll last forever.

A Brillo pad. Mine is the same but Brillo pads do the trick.
