Has anyone ever used this on an acrylic shower with success? I have rust looking stains under a mat I put down on the shower floor.

I use Lime- Away for that - it takes a few applications - (I just spray on and don't rinse) - but Whink also has another rust remover that works on other surfaces

I'm not sure if my shower is acrylic but it's some kind of plastic, not ceramic, and it works on my rust stains quite well.

Yes. Blot on with a soft rag till gone. Don't spray directly because you could change finish

Yup, doesn't work on the acrylic shower. In fact it didn't work on the toilet either.

i believe the instructions say not to use it on an acrylic shower. Our iron problem is so severe,I broke down and tried it. works wonderful. only problem is that as it runs down to the caulking at the bottom on the shower, the caulk absorbs the odor of the whink and it is not pleasant. Does an excellent job, however.

I used it on a grease stain on Carpet. I used it with carpet cleaner and worked the stain a number of times scrubbing with the steam to loosen up. The stain on the carpet was over a year old and most of the grease stain came out. Not completely gone but a lot better.. I bought the steam cleaner mainly for cleaning shower door glass. Hope this helps...

Pretty sure it should be safe. Seems like the same thing as dish type pads that you use on teflon that wont scratch it. Didn't scratch my polished acrylic shower. I would check on one little area though & scrub with it to be sure.

Does not scratch, but brown stain ruined my shower. It bleeds and stained shower-tub floor. Looks terrible

I believe that I remember if you had rust, you needed to treat that first. I would contact the manufacturer for more info, I did not have that problem, but I can tell you it is a GREAT product for painting over bathroom tiles!

I have not tried it on rust but I have used Kilz original on rust stains and it works good.

I have porcelain tiles in my kitchen and REALLY didn't like how this product worked on same......far better results on the vinyl tile in my mud hall/laundry room. Hope this is of help.

Sorry, no. Ours is used outside of the shower. I am never surprised when this type of article does rust tho. It's only coated wire and never does as well at the corner joins as in the middle of the wire lengths. Wondering if it's an enamel type coating if a light coating of car wax occasionally might help, as may be suggested by washer/dryer and wheelchair manuals.

I agree with comments by Mike and Robert. My application this time was on travertine. I did a test of this product and 2 others on scrap cuts. After it cured, water on the piece with the porous plus beaded up like a freshly waxed car. Another trick I have used, but again test first on scrap, is to wipe over cured sealer with automotive Rain-X. Works great near sinks, and we do this in nearly all tile and stone showers. Good luck on your project.

It is a mild abrasive, so you have to be careful what you use it on..Use CLR if you want to remove rust from bathroom surfaces

We have a cream colored shower pan/floor and have had no problem at all with any staining. The teak bench is very stable. I was reluctant to spend so much for a bench, but like it so much better than ones I've seen at retail stores for not that much more. Glad we bought it.

Sorry, I have only used this on a one piece bathroom sink top, that was acrylic. It worked fine on that. I dabbed it on like nail polish and blotted it with a tissue to remove the excess. Good luck!

I haven't had any problem. If there's not an obvious physical issue, maybe you could try washing the suction cups and the shower tiles with vinegar to remove any oily substance?

Hi again Robin,Can you give any advice on how you used the steamer to clean your tub? I just finally tried mine out last night and it didn't really lift off the soap scum. Maybe it was just too much scum for it to handle?Also, it left residue from what it had picked up on the floor the first time. Any tips?Thanks for your advice!Renee

i used it on an inground pebble finish concrete pool. I had massive stains from metal, especially copper. worked pretty well, but needed repeated treatment. Turned out that the finish was too old to completely clean and pool had to be emptied and refinished, NOT acid washed.

I use my cloth on my shower doors and love it. The hard water mineral build up hasn't come off down near the floor of the shower, but it is better. I am thinking that using something like CLR would be a good thing to start with, and just don't let it build up again. Also, don't get the CLR on the Norwex cloth. The cloth works wonders on stainless steel fixtures and glass.

I've had mine for almost nine months now and only found one tiny rust spot in my sink where the rubber bumper twisted around and the rack was exposed to the stainless steel sink. From that point on, I always make sure that the rubber bumpers are facing down where the rack rests on the sink bottom and haven't experienced any rust stains since. This is a great product and has saved my sink from many scratches!
