Rusty stains in cupboard

domestic_goddess

Hi

My kitchen is quite damp and in the food cupboard some of the tins have left rusty stains on the bottom of the cupboard.

Does anyone know how I can get rid of them. I have tried the usual to no avail.

Thanks

When I had this problem the only thing that worked was one of those *eraser* things. Like the flash eraser, but from the poundshop;) I find these work in lots of situations like this.

I agree they are really good - I have used stardrops with great success too

Cor, thanks for asking this question - I have the same problem under my sink from a can of Jeys fluid and have never thought to ask for suggestions .

Tomorrow I'm going to get one of those magic sponge things and have a go.

Thanks for the tips.

Thanks very much

I will have a go at this tomorrow and let you know.

You can prevent the problem, by spraying the bottom edge of the tin with hair lacquer, or running a bit of paint, nail polish, varnish etc, around the bottom.
I always wipe a bit of wood varnish round the bottom of my shaving foam can, so it doesn't mark the bath shelf.

Well...... I tried everything and in the end the only thing that touched the stains was white spirit:eek:

TBH they were quite bad as my kitchen is quite damp but they have gone now and I have tried the trick with the hairspray to make sure that it doesn't happen again.
