Default Rust stain on tile

Jo Ann wrote:
I got a new clothes washer yesterday (sweet!) and on taking the old
one out, found one of the leveling legs had rusted and left a very
noticeable stain on the tile. The tile is a matte finish, generally
cleans up pretty well. I've tried a couple of so-called rust remover
products (nothing specific to tile), which have helped, but there's
still a distinct round, rusty circle on my off-white tile


Any acid will reduce the iron oxide to an easily removed salt. May take a
while depending on acid and strength.

But the tile isn't likely to be actually stained, just have rust physically
stuck to it. You should be able to remove it with a mild abrasive such as
scouring powder.
