fiberglass tub stains

12 years ago

I have rust in my water which is discoloring my white fiberglass tub. Will CLR take it off? Other suggestions? Also, would you believe nail polish (dry) rubbed off in a spot from my toe!! Any suggestions how to remove that?

Thanks in advance,

Diane

You can use CLR on fiberglass, so it is worth a try. If the rust stain has imbedded in the fiberglass, I'm not sure how much will come out. CLR removes the finish from some metals, so you need to be careful not to get it on the bathtub faucet and handles.

Another product to look at is Whink rust remover, but you need to check whether it can be used on fiberglass.
