Getting rust off grout

Dan-Dan

Anyone have any success getting rust from a rusty screw in a shower , out of white grout?

I have used washing up liquid slightly diluted , with no luck , same with thick bleach , and the usual bathroom cleaner sprays
Any ideas?

Cheers

I think you may have made the rust stain permanent now used bleach on it.

You tried one of those steamers?

What about a grout pen?

If neither of these sort it then just scrape that bit out and patch the grout.

Grout pens are useless (tippex works better)
See if you can tighten the screw and put a blob of grout over it.
You can buy the grout from bargain shops for £1 (or tippex)

Remove screw, chip out rusty grout, replace grout.

Replace screw with S/S version before re grouting.

The screw is holding the back plate of a shower in , the rust is whats `dripped` down recently , i plan to open up the shower to sort the source of the rust , and will be getting the grout saw as suggested

Grout pens are pretty crap
