I bought a forclosure mobile home and it has a big rust stain in the tub. I have tried many different kinds of cleaning products but nothing has helped! I cannot afford to buy a new one. I have tried many different rust removers and even tried bleach and a brillo pad. I have also tried clr and nothing works. Please help me!!
You can try the acid as a last resort-but i suspect the surface of the tub is already compromised..The glazing or enamel itself wont rust–but the metal underneath can and will pop through the finish…You may have to get a pro to re-glaze the tub or install a liner if the acid doesn’t work and you cant change it.

Try using bicarb and white vinegar.Sprinkle with a little bicarb followed by white vinegar (equal parts) and while fizzing rub with a toothbrush.If that doesn’t shift it you can try mixing equal parts glycerine with gumption and scrub with a toothbrush

acid
At your building center they have a muratic acid substitute that doesn’t stink as bad as the standard muratic acid.
Wear rubber gloves, don’t get any on you, it works in seconds, don’t leave it on the chrome parts long.
CLR sucks totally
