HI
If you live in the states there is a cleanser called ZUD it is in a container like Comet Cleanser. We cant get it in Canada anymore but my friend got me some in the states. Works really good and is fast

I know this sounds a little crazy, but it works. It's called "The Works" toilet bowl cleaner. We have well water and it has alot of iron in it. I just squirt The Works on it and let it sit for a minute and it wipes right out. I live in a mobile home so I have fiberglass sinks and tubs and it has never damaged them. Make sure it is the toilet bowl cleaner though. They make another products for soapscum and lime scale but it doesn't work for rust. Good Luck!

I use Clorox Cleanup......it's great for tubs and sinks and is non-abrasive.

If it is enamel or porcelain, try using a pumice bar. I have an area around the sink overflow that gets rusty and the pumice bar takes it right off.

There is no better product than Wink rust remover. It makes the rust disappear right before your eyes. I use it all the time and recommend it highly!

Did you try Bleach?
I would open a window and pour the Bleach wherever the rust is and let it sit.
When its done hose it down with your shower.

As far as I am concerned it depends on what your bathtub is made out of. For my metal tub I really like to use CLR in the yellow spray bottle which I purchase at Walmart. But my tub surround is fiberglass and the CLR doesn't really do the trick for that. For the tub surround I use something in a purple bottle with a green top. It is called Kabam or Kazoom or somthing like that. If you look for the see through bright purple bottle with a green top you found it. I buy it at Walmart.

If you have a big build up it will take more than one application and some scrubbing. Once you actually get it cleaned if you just spray it on and wait a minute you can wipe with a sponge and rinse.
Good Luck
