Does this remove iron buildup in bathtubs and toilets?

I just used it to clean up some iron stains on both my commode and tub. It seems to work best if you sprinkle it on, dampen it and let it set a bit before you scrub. It is not quite as effective on lime buildup but did quite well on the rust stains.

YES YES YES! I was so frustrated with our old tub with the nasty iron stains from well water. All the usual suspects never worked adequately, like CLR. Then I read someone's post on an online forum sharing how she had a 100 year old tub, and she used Bar Keepers Friend and it worked beautifully without harming the finish. So since our house is just about as old as that, I went right out and got BKF and it is awesome. The tub now sparkles after using it. Can't speak for toilets. For that I use The Works. And that works like a champ. Good luck!

It doesn't remove all the minerals, but it is much softer then most water. I think it will take much longer time for humidifier to build up as I have the same problem with my tea pot - residue. It took much longer time for the residue to be seen then with other water.

We only use it on stainless on our boat; stanchions; sink in head etc. It takes the water spots out in the sink. We both love this product. It removes everything for us. makes the boat 'stand tall'

The steamer will certainly HELP break up the old mildew and guke but may NOT completely remove it. After steaming, I would go over the build up with a slightly scratchy pad and a product called "Eliminate" that you can get at Home Depot. Eliminate is similar to muriatic acid so use CAREFULLY - - - it is designed to cut through the white calcium build up that you sometimes see around pots on patios. It also works well to clean glass shower doors but - - - again - - - - wear gloves and don't get it in your eyes! Hope this helps - WO

This product stops or slows down calcium/ scale build up that causes the ring around the toilet common in hard water areas. This is not an anti-bacterial product. Have a great day.

I followed the same directions that I used for my tub. It worked. A lot of scrubbing, but still worked better than anything else I used.

Cleans everything however i would use super iron out on toilet stains, but this cleans everything

It cleans the gunk built up in the disposer, sink drains, and pipes. Dawn dishwashing liquid does not remove the build-up that accumulates in these places!

It worked on the urine in the front of toilet better than bleach. I used this product with the Rubbermaid power scrubber and it worked great!

like hard water stains? It will remove hard water stains but with hard water, you will get them again (I have this issue). It will also remove rust(iron) (if you have well water)

Yes. I run the jets for about 15 minutes any time I add chemicals. Haven't had any ring around the tub. Seems to really clear the water and make it sparkle. We use one of those little scum-but sponges.

I am not sure. We have well water with a high iron/rust content and my hair is blonde. It does help remove the minerals and build up in my hair as well as leave it somewhat able to brush.

I use the product to remove iron stains on our concrete driveway, stucco and vinyl windows. What has worked well for me is to wet the area first, spray on the chemical, let it set a moment, lightly brush the area and then rinse it off with clear water. Our iron comes from the well water we use for irrigation and what I rinse it with is soft/treated water.

It claims 50,ooo flushes. This will depend upon the hardness of your water. The magnet prevents calcium from crystallizing forming the tough ring around the bowl. You still have to clean your toilet. If mineral deposits persist, use a pumice scouring stick which easily polishes it off. I use 2 ChemFree units per toilet. For some it works well, for others not so much. It depends on the hardness of your water.

It takes all fowl odor and taste out. It does not purify. As far as removing iron if one has to avoid iron due to a blood disorder like hemachramatosis I would check with the manufacturer because it uses coral in its treatment of the water I know it adds minerals. Taste wise the water is very pure tasting. I hope this helps

It can. It will remove powder residue. With a brush it will remove copper and lead fouling as well but for heavy build up somthing like Sweets may be needed. Follow the directions with solvents.

I've been using "Super Iron Out" for years. I've not had a problem to date with my septic system. Read more at: http://www.superironout.com/drain-uses.php
