Removing rust spots on Kitchen Sink
We've got a small rust spot in our acrylic kitchen sink (from leaving a baking
tray in there for too long). Is is possible to remove it (the rust spot, not the tray :-) ) ? -- Mark Please replace invalid and invalid with gmx and net to reply |

Test it on an unbotrusive area first, incase it has some nasty effect on the finish or colour. I have a tube of Jenolite Jelly which is Phosphoric Acid in a jelly. I bought it from a car parts shop about 30 years ago as a rust remover. I have used it on lots of things for removing rust stains, including cloths. No idea if you could still find it, but there's probably some equivalent Phosphoric Acid product available. Again, test on an unobtrusive area first. -- Andrew Gabriel |
