I left a damp cast-iron pan on the counter for several days and it left a rust stain on the counter. (Dumb.) The counter surface might be a sort of laminate; whatever it is, it seems really absorbent and there are various other stains in it. Can you tell me how to get that stubborn rust stain up?

CLR (calcium, lime, and rust) remover should work on this. You may need to let it sit. Bar Keepers Friend or Comet might do the trick, too. Rust can be really stubborn, though, so it may require a little patience.

I had rust stains in my tub, it’s porcelain and Bar Keeper’s Friend worked. You just have to let it sit for a long time. Also, bleach will set rust. Fyi

I’ve done this exact same thing on crappy counters and I had excellent luck with the Magic Eraser.

I’ve done the same thing to our laminate countertops here in our rental house. I hadn’t considered CLR, but alternating between Barkeeper’s Friend and Comet has taken the stain out perfectly (as well as stains already there at move-in (Kool-Aid)).
