You don’t just sprinkle salt on a lemon silly 🙃. There’s a reason it took you forever 😂. You make a paste of salt and enough lemon juice to make a thick paste, which you apply to the rust and LEAVE for 15mins or so, then scrub off.
Adaobi, I tried Whink in my cast iron tub and did absolutely nothing. I let it sit for a while, with wet towels then scrubed with more Whink and did not work. Anything else that you did that I am missing? Thx
@@jelemil - Actually, you are right. I found out about Barkeepers friend, after I saw this video. It worked a lot better than what she used. You do have to put some effort into it, but it worked great form me. Maybe you should make a video about using it, showing before and after. Just a thought.
@@cabanastateofmind yeah you'll need practically a gas mask (north honeywell or 3m will do) and the best orange chemical gloves you can get for that stuff
You need to replace the chrome-plated steel outlet with a stainless or brass one - even if this means taking the bath out so you can access the outlet shaft underneath the bath. No sense just cleaning a rusty old outlet insert.
Girl thank you so fricking much I have been scrubbing for months now an it only got worse but the lemon an salt did the job I use nothing else !❣️😊😊😊😊😃😄😃😃😀
Thank you for sharing this info I really saved my Kohler $550 cast iron sink!!! I was wrong maintain my sink on Clorox but I do made base silicon pads prevent any damages. Unfortunately those ones start yellowish so I removed them. Kohler accessories are soooooooo expensive lord!!!! Thanks again 👍
For really tough jobs try using bleach first, let it soak for a bit (at least an hour or up to 3 hours) then use the clr and let it sit again for the same amount of time. A bit time more consuming but works
Yes or knowing what I know now, just refinishing with one of those DIY kits or replacing with a vanity! (Which is what we ended up doing in the long run)
Thank you for the helpful tips! Were you able to get the stain completely off the steel drain plate? I’m so curious because I just bought a home and one of the tubs has an awful rusted steel plate
il faut prendre de l'acide chlorhydrique pour nettoyer. Bien aérer pendant l'opération :-) Ensuite, au quotidien, il faut nettoyer ton évier avec du vinaigre blanc et bien essuyer avec un linge apres chaque utilisation, cela evite au calcaire de se deposer.
Probably but this sink was like 50+ years old and was going to get thrown away anyways so I thought it was worth a try! Wouldn’t recommend on a newer sink.
Ever have this problem again try bar keepers friend(the powder one) and it'll come off a lot faster. I had this problem with the sinks in the house we recently moved in to and I tried everything and got tires of scrubbing. I remembered I had some bar keepers friend I had bought and never used and with maybe 5 back and forth motions it was gone.
I heard great things about bar keepers friend! I think it was actually what I originally went looking for when I picked up the CLR but my grocery store didn't have it and I didn't want to make a special trip to another store to find it. I will definitely keep it in mind for the future. Thanks!
That's not porcelain sink..just a baked clay or cement and coated white. It's so cheap so the Easiest way is to replace it. Another fast and cheap way is to use sandpaper and soap. Fine grade sandpaper
It’s not very nice to call her “silly”. Do you have a self-esteem problem? I am sure sprinkling salt on the lemon would work just as well; just a matter of personal choice.
Or you could just say “You can also make a paste of lemon juice and salt and leave it for 15 minutes then you won’t need to scrub for so long” - which would be a much kinder comment 🥰
She speaks normal. In fact, she speaks very well. Stop being a hater for absolutely no reason. I swear there are people who randomly click on videos on UA-cam with the intention to dislike and leave negative comments. Smh. (PS- Nice response).
I'm working on our basement bathroom and it has good pipes and all. We're not paying for a remodel. Clean and go. YES!
Looks great. If you wanted to replace the drain and the chipped paint around drain, they make appliance paint for that. It works great.
I had no idea! Thanks!
Very good idea, I’ve got a white farmhouse sink. The rust stains was caused by an aluminum bake pan.
Same thing happened to me basically. Got a rust rong in sink. Did you get it out?
You don’t just sprinkle salt on a lemon silly 🙃. There’s a reason it took you forever 😂. You make a paste of salt and enough lemon juice to make a thick paste, which you apply to the rust and LEAVE for 15mins or so, then scrub off.
And then would you ALSO use the CLR or is the lemon juice-salt paste enough?
Im curious too@@flikflik1976
😮no need to be condescending
Whink Rust stain remover is the best! Gets rust stains off in SECONDS!! Wish you knew about it earlier but tfs your tip!😁💖
Oooh, thanks for the rec! I will keep it in mind for the future.

I followed this up to 45 seconds and reached for the tequila
XD cheers!
@@cabanastateofmind on a serious note, this did wonders... So thank you!
lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looks exactly like my bathroom sink,i will try this tomorrow and i hope it works,thank you!👍
Awesome! I hope it works as well for you as it did for me.
Did it work
You repeatably scrubbed it for about a hour? Wow. Maybe I'll see if there's an easier way. I'm kinda lazy.
11
did you find the easier way? I'm kinda lazy too, and have an important occasion so I have to clean while I'm fasting 😩
Barkeepers friend should be quicker

Magic eraser
Buy a bottle of Hydrochloric acid (also known as Muriatic acid) and watch the magic happen in a matter of just few seconds.
Thanks for the tip!
@@cabanastateofmind yeah you'll need practically a gas mask (north honeywell or 3m will do) and the best orange chemical gloves you can get for that stuff
Will this also clean yellow staining from porcelain sink?
@@Melmelba
Yes. And very fast.

I am so glad you found it useful and it worked for you! Cheers to saving your sink
CLR never works for me
For really tough jobs try using bleach first, let it soak for a bit (at least an hour or up to 3 hours) then use the clr and let it sit again for the same amount of time. A bit time more consuming but works
Same here-worthless CLR
Thank you so much for this video. I did exactly what you did and IT WORKED!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Woo hoo! So glad you had success!
A good comparison test would have been to treat a second stain with CLR only - the lemon/salt may have been unnecessary.

Why would you think the lemon did anything? You used rust remover.
This is the exact same sink that we have cut and all. I'm painting the tile wall. I want to keep the sink but replace the facet part if possible.
Try Barkeepers powder and vinegar . wipes right out
A pumice scouring stick also works too :)
I can't believe you did it! Great job! Muscle power helps ;--)
Do you have to reglaze it after giving it a scrubbing?
An hour of scrubbing?
You should try bar keepers friend. Works wonders.
Cant wait to try your tips on rust removal.
Beekeepers friend makes a rust lime paste that works great but it's pretty harsh in the chemical department

Great idea, thanks.
Thank you!
Worked for me, after someone left scissors on the bathroom sink, leaving a rust mark 👍🍻
Thank you!!!
Take care of your hands! Always wear gloves! Thank you for the tip!!
thanks, i love utube.
So lemon and baking soda didn’t really work that well!
Wouldn't the acid from the lemon & the coarseness of the salt damage a porcelain/enamel surface?
Probably but this sink was like 50+ years old and was going to get thrown away anyways so I thought it was worth a try! Wouldn’t recommend on a newer sink.
So good
Why the whole lemon step???

What grocery store did you buy the product?
Hey Al, I found it at my local grocery store in the cleaning products aisle but they also sell it on Amazon here: amzn.to/2Jt17YB
Thanks..
Cabana State Of Mind And what grocery store would that be..
Great, Job does that take all of the stains from sink off..
It took them almost completely off in my case, yes!
Cabana State Of Mind Okay great Thanks 😊👍👍
Yes. We all know about CLR. it’s 50 years old. The first thing is no help. Too funny 😂
Amazing 🤣... Thanks for sharing
I think I would rather replace the sink than go through all that
That's what we ended up doing XD
have a sink that looks just like yours
try cream of tartar .
Interesting
Use a pumice stone
*cant wait to go lol*
👍

Their is a easier and cheaper way. Buy (Bar keeper friend). Great cleaner you will ever buy.
I have barkeepers friend - didn’t even touch it
omg fuck that.. lol
just put toothpaste on it and scrub... DONE!!
Unfortunatley this will not stop future rust, you are best to just replace the whole sink , people give them away for free all the time
We actually did end up replacing it as part of a total bathroom remodel! Have to admit the new one looks much better.
Will.u marry me
Omg why does she talk like that. Who could live with someone who speaks in this manner
Hey George! Thank you for your sweet comment! Have a great day!
how... does... she... speak??? she's literally just talking. what a classy response though, kudos Cabana State of Mind!
@@libertybliss7615 lol. Thanks, Liberty! People choose the strangest things to pick on, I swear XD

Are you deliberately trying to be a jerk? Time has passed when that is ok.
pull out the sink and remove the rust...then paint with rust prust paint.
reinstall..
the part you can see is nice but do a thorought job.
At the time I didn’t know you could do DIY refinishing! Probably would have done that had I known but part of the fun is learning as you go
