can you get rust off of porcelain with these shows pads?

I have used these pads in the toilet bowl ( porcelain) to scrub off rust stains. They work better than anything else I've tried.

I would imagine so but I would test a small spot first using plenty of water,I had some rust stains and calcium deposits on my toilet bowl rim and it got these nasty stains off,I'm quite sure my bowl was also made of porcelain but I would test a small spot first.

I use these on a porcelain toilet and get stains off ~ I have never used them on rust, however.

You shouldn't be able to. The coating on this pan is baked on; I scrub mine pretty hard when I clean it. Since it's cast iron, the only way you *could* (not likely) damage it is if you somehow removed the coating on the ridges. If you did, you would be exposing the bare cast iron underneath. A simple test would be to soak the pan in water for some time then dump the water out and let it air dry. If you see rust anywhere, you have an issue. Again, I really can't imagine that's the case though, and you may just have some baked-on debris between the ridges.

I don't know. We have stainless grates and no problem there. Wanted porcelain grates but surprisingly the stainless work fine.

Yes but I just started noticing a very little bit of rust after using them for nearly a year. But the rust could be wiped off (wiped kind of vigorously!) But we do use them everyday and my son and husband leave them in the sink (wet) and when they finally make it into the dishwasher, we only run it every 3rd or so day so they are also somewhat damp in there (before washing). I'd buy them again but now I wipe them when they come out of the dishwasher. And the "rust" is just a bit and just around the top end of the black part (right next to the steel). It comes off.

They are usually brass and brass doesn't rust. Sounds like you really need to address this issue. This is not something that is normally installed with silicone and I would predict a future failure. Sight unseen, you probably need to access the underside for dis-assembly to do it right. Good luck.

It would not be smart. The old pads are Not a clean surface to mount to. I'd remove the old pads with some mineral spirits or more agressive laquer thinner and a strong putty knife or a good automotive carbon scraper. The pads will last a long time if properly installed.

I prefer porcelain because the baked-on crud can more easily be wire-brushed off using a grill brush. While stainless steel can also be wire-brushed off, I can't help but feel that the steel will leave a metallic taste around after each brushing. Not scientific, perhaps, but aluminum does this, so maybe steel does it, too? My Weber grill has, I believe, stainless steel drip bars below the porcelain cooking grates. I never clean these, as I think they are meant to impart a smoky flavor to what is being cooked by burning the drippings, causing the smoke.

Did you run them thru the dishwasher? Can't do that, wash them with a soapy scrub pad that will take the excess tarnish off but handels will remain discolored. Sorry

I think hand washing is most effective. Haven't had them long enough to know about rust but I doubt it. Especially if you dry them off after washing.

That iron has a three year guarantee if I remember correctly. You may be able to remove the rust spots with a little Bar Keepers Friend or one of those Mr Clean Magic Erasers. I love my iron. I wore out one and now have another.

That might be better for the Manufacturer to answer. My tub was also porcelain, but not recently refinished and they stuck so well that none of them lifted off for me to have that opportunity to see if it could do that. Sorry. They are definitely Skid-proof, though.

Hi, if you really look at the description you see STAINLESS not STAIN "FREE", but as far as rust I don't think you will have a problem. I think rust will only form on stainless if there is some contaminate left on the stainless surface.

Cleaning them has been like cleaning my Wilton tips, so the answer is yes pretty easy, and mine have not rusted either. Hope that helps!

we have had ours for a couple years and no rust, not sure if its porcelain or not. ours has been outside year round we do cover it when not in use

They can rust, but what I've seen is only surface rust that can be cleaned off. I would think with proper cleaning and maintenance it would be less of an issue.

I havent had any issues with rust and ours is not covered. the cushions? no..they dont get stuck at all. they are hard to keep clean, but thats because of the no cover :)

Short answer: yes, if you are careful. The porcelain glaze is slick and shiny so, (before it is installed and/or the power is OFF) clean porcelain. Place a piece of painter tape over outlet holes - wipe the rest with dry cloth. Some type of primer will be needed (spray on primer from local hardware store worked for me). Then add your top coat. Remove your painter tape. Since the porcelain is so slick, do not expect the paint job to last more than a couple of seasons if this unit is outdoors.
