Some laminated surfaces counter tops are coated with a synthetic surface which may be affected by rust removers; clean spills immediately. Always spot test first on an inconspicuous area.
We do not recommend putting CLR in a spray bottle. CLR is acidic in nature and the solution could "spray back" on your clothes or in your eyes or can get on materials it's not intended to be used on. If possible, remove the showerhead and submerge it in the solution for no longer than 2 minutes using an old toothbrush on the face of the showerhead after it has soaked will assist in removing the mineral buildup then rinse promptly and thoroughly with cold water.
Repeat at full strength if necessary, rinsing thoroughly after each application. Apply solution to the affected stained areas of the glasses using a damp cloth or sponge. After 2 minutes, rinse thoroughly with cold, clean water. If it seems that CLR helped a bit but the glasses are not completely clear, repeat at full strength if necessary. Due to the natural density and hardness of calcium as a mineral, the calcium can actually etch and embed itself into the material of the glass usually present by having a cloudy appearance vs.
If it seems that the CLR did not help at all, the glasses may be etched and there is no remedy to remove the cloudiness. The cloudiness is actually tiny cuts made in the glass by deposits in the water.
It is not recommended that CLR be used in steam irons. The acids in our products are not compatible with the components of steam irons, steamers or steam machines. We recommend contacting the manufacturer of your particular steam iron, steamer or steam machine for their recommendation for products safe and effective on their materials.
We do not recommended using CLR on a car. You can safely remove rust from car wheels if rims are made of chrome or stainless steel only, no alloys. CLR should not be used in or on a car radiator. CLR may not be compatible with the materials associated with a radiator and it could have adverse effects if the CLR is not rinsed out completely. We do not recommend using CLR to clean ice makers. The acids in our product are not compatible with the components of ice makers.
We always recommend referring to the manufacture's recommendation for safe and effective products to use on their materials. We do not recommend using our CLR to remove oil.
If CLR is mixed with oil, it will darken the concrete, which is very difficult to remove. Yes, CLR is septic safe. By the time it reaches the septic system it is neutralized with water. We do not recommend using CLR on or in any materials associated with a swimming pool.
CLR should never come into contact with chlorine or any other household chemical. It can create a poisonous gas and is not safe. We recommend consulting with a pool maintenance expert for recommendations for products that would be safe and effective. Unfortunately, we do not recommend using CLR on pool tile. It could remove the finish from the tile. In addition, if CLR comes in contact with chlorine, it could result in toxic fumes.
We recommend consulting with a pool maintenance expert for their recommendation for products that are safe and effective. We do not recommend using CLR on any natural stones, especially marble even synthetic. The acids in our product will remove the seal, penetrating the marble and can compromise the natural beauty of marble. Even synthetic marbles are coated and real marble dust is used to give the effect of real marble. If you spill CLR accidentally on these surfaces, make sure to call a marble professional for further instructions.
We do not recommend using CLR on galvanized metals. When a metal is galvanized, a Zinc coating is put over the metal usually to protect it from rusting. I really wanted to buy a new toilet because the stain looked like poop.
I tried CLR just to see if it would make a difference before buying a new toilet. I drained my toilet water and filled it up with CLR up to where the stain was overnight. I scrubbed it a little in the morning and when I flushed my toilet, the stain was gone and my toilet looked brand new!
Since it worked for me, I would highly recommend this product. No it does not work. The yellow spray bottle for kitchen and bath is a total waste of my money. But I had a work out! Never again over priced non working product. I used it in the shower and kitchen sink that have your typical calcium build up.
I use it as directed dilute , wipe and rinse. There was no difference at all! Then I used it as concentrate from the bottle and still nothing as per the tv ad! I tried this product over 10 years ago. Bought it from Canadian tire. I returned the opened product to Canadian tire and they refunded the entire amount. Tried CLR not a knock off brand but the real CLR on a shower head that was pretty clogged up with the white crusty deposits of city water.
Found it no more effective after 12 hour soaking so I tossed the shower head and the CLR in the trash. What turned out to work much better was a new shower head from Lowes. Worked much better for not much more than the cost of CLR. As I remember it used to work really well and the ingredients listed a real acid. Strong enough to work but not strong enough to hurt you unless you did something really stupid.
I think that they weakened it so now it does nearly nothing. I let it sit for quite awhille and although it took SOME of the very lightest accumulation off, mostly I had to scrub and scrub to get it off…If I have to do that anyway….
CLR contains very caustic substances it has to. If it leaks on a rug or clothing, etc. You will get a great clean only to find that a stain comes back that you have to work hard to get out now. I use the CLR on my coffee maker. My husband said it had lime buildup and he went and bought the CLR. We put a cap full of CLR into the maker along with water and ran it through a few times and the coffee pot works just like brand new.
I use it in my bathroom for hard water stains. This is an amazing product and very reasonable in price too. Especially the tub always gets dirty build up on the side and removing them is a pain in the ass.

Waste of time and money. What a total waste of money. Absolutely and totally useless. Bought at Woolies,got full refund. Muratic acid works wonders.
But be careful with it. When the water has high iron levels, it can leave reddish or brown rust marks. While the first two letters in "CLR" are minerals calcium and lime , rust appears when iron and oxygen react to moisture. Since they are difficult to remove, there are different CLR product lines available to help with this cleaning chore.
Some cleaning products out there may only be formulated to remove lime scale, and others only remove rust. Lime-A-Way and Simple Green are two other brands that sell similar cleaners. You can use these cleaners on bathroom fixtures and surfaces as well as in washing machines, dishwashers and humidifiers. Safety is the most important concern since CLR cleaners are dangerous when not used properly.
CLR and Lime Away are both great for the following:. To avoid problems, be sure to wipe away the cleaner after a few minutes.
Then, rinse the area to make sure the cleaner has been completely removed. If you have a stained plate or food container, instead try soaking it with vinegar.
Other places you should avoid using liquid descalers like CLR are stone, wood, plastic, and painted surfaces. These are strong cleaners. They can etch less durable materials, especially if left for a long time. With metals, the manufacturers recommend avoiding these cleaners. Wearing rubber gloves is important. Wait about two minutes to wipe it off.
