CLR

[PennyG]

Can CLR be used on rocks that contain a heavy amount of rust and limestone?

I have never tried it... but I have a bottle and some rocks that need a trial run.

Perhaps a test will be in order if no members have the answer.

 

[PennyG]

I like the way you think.

That IS a mighty curious question!!

CLR?

 

[ARC]

CLR?

CLR = Calcium Lime and Rust Remover.

 

[kcm]

CLR is used for cleaning everything from coffee pots to bathtubs and toilets.

 

[PennyG]

That's why I thought perhaps it could be used on rocks. Maybe not fossils but rocks.

"Calcium Lime Rust, more commonly known as CLR, is a household cleaning product used for dissolving stains, such as calcium, lime, and iron oxide deposits. Its ingredients include water, lactic acid, gluconic acid, lauramine oxide, Propylene Glycol, n-Butyl Ether, and solvents that dissolve cobalt gel coats and paint."

Aha, We have a different name for that here.

It's worth a shot for sure. Also try Oxalic acid for rust.

Arrrg.

Wear gloves. heh

PS... Not so sure I would be cleaning any coffee pot of mine with that either. :P

Sure, just run another cycle or two of clear water through the machine after you're done with the CLR. Works great!

Nice brand new one... for another 5 I buy the reusable filter.

MAybe one day they will make a carafe / pot that actually has a functional "lip" that pours that first full pot without that spillage.

You would think that in the 1000 years of coffee making they would have ironed that one out.

I worked in property management years ago and for our furnished units the housekeepers used CLR.
I use vinegar to clean mine .

Now Vinegar I would use / try.

I could just see it now...
I use CLR to clean my coffee maker...

Next morn I take a sip of my coffee only to notice the coffee in my cup is clear...
And taste like mug glaze.
