Rust Stains
Thanks to my beautiful wife who is a genius. I have a handy tip on how to remove those pesky rust stains. First here is a before picture.
You take baking soda and lemon juice and mix together to scrub the area. It will foam when it mixes.
I used a tooth brush to scrub around the fittings with. It will take a little elbow grease but I did all the stains in thirty minutes. Simply rinse off the residue and your done.
And no harsh chemicles needed.

Wow! Good idea, and that is a safe cleaner for the environment. (That makes me sound like a tree hugger, but it's true)

Re: Rust Stains
Also it helps to dip the toothbrush in the baking soda pour on a few drops of lemon juice onto the toothbrush then scrub the spot.

Re: Rust Stains
Good tip indeed. The same mixture will work to clean dirty/corroded battery terminals as well. Let her bubble for a while till it quits then rinse with water. If lemon juice isn't available vinegar can be used.

Baking soda and Coke works also.
It may be that my sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
