I know Tang gets rust out of a dishwasher. You might have some luck with that.

LimeAway and The Works bathroom cleaners are the most effective I have tried. I have very rusty well water and a plastic tub.

Clorox Cleanup will also bleach out some stains. Good ventilation and gloves are needed for all of these.

My water comes out of the faucet the color of ice tea. I use CLR or the cheaper version (sold at Big Lots and the Dollar Tree) called "The Works". Also, I use a product called "Super Iron Out". In my washing machine and laundry.

Bar Keeper's Friend is a powder cleaner that gets rust off of bathroom things. It works wonders. I just get the spot wet, sprinkle soem Bar Keeper's Friend on the spot, wait a few minutes and wipe clean. It's kind of like Comet, only better for rust stains.

Apparently the acid that is released from Rhubarb is really efficient at removing rust. There is a product called White N Brite made from rhubarb, apple, spinach and vinegar acidics. It is a white creme you spread on the surface with a damp sponge, let sit and rinse away.

Do not use in a fiber glass tub. It causes it to crack! Trust me! I have a tub we are having to replace due to using the Works.
