Default Iron Stined Tubs Sinks Diwasheer

Thanks. Tried CLR but that did little; works on lime and calcium well.

Sorry if I already posted this question below but I'm not sure if it was

What can I use to remove iron stained surfaces like acrylic and
plastic:tub,
inside of d/washer, etc.? I've tried a number of off the shelf products
but
not very successfully. I'm on a well and have and have an inline water
filter before the water softener (which of course doesn't remove iron or
other mineral deposits. My water filter is actually reddish brown stained
and somewhat caked each time I change it. At some point I should install
an
iron filter system but can't right now. Thanks for the input.

Hi,
CLR usually works.
