Spots of rust on my oven hob!!

gbrittain

Hi everyone, I need some help please!!!

I have a separate oven and hob in my kitchen, on the top where the hob is all over the metal there is loads of spots of rust appeared , I'm guessing its come from where I have cleaned it and left some chemical behind?

Anyway, does anybody know how I can try and remove the rust without causing damage to the surface? I really don't want it staying there because it looks awful and I cant afford to replace it!

I have tried searching the forums and google and all I could find was to use a tar tar sauce or some form of acid which I cant remember what it was called.

Thanks for any help it will be really appreciated,

Gary

Is it stainless steel? The only thing I can think of is, if it is stainless steel, try Shiny Sinks. We had a S/S sink that developed rust spots years ago and had a visit from someone from Franke who suggested Shiny Sinks. It worked well and we used it on a fairly regular basis (although did use other cleaners on a daily basis).

Once you've removed the rust spots I would try and find a cleaner that is not so harsh (or be extra careful about rinsing off and drying). Astonish do a general kitchen cleaner that is biodegradeable and has no harsh chemicals, it's in a tub and you use a damp sponge, rub over the cleaner and apply to whatever you're cleaning. Ideal World sell something similar I think. Also see if Ecover do something.

Sorry, that's all I can think of.

We have a metal grate which my DD sprayed with window cleaner and it rusted. Had no idea what the metal was but it was gray. We couldn't find any proprietary cleaners to solve this problem but the chap in the hardware shop suggested we try polishing it with a coloured T-Cut produce from a car repair shop. This as worked a treat. If the astonish doesn't work, maybe try that?
