This is a bit of a cheat post as the rust I've just removed this morning is on melamine shelving in a cupboard at home..
BUT... this will apply to all sorts of plastic surfaces and there are plenty of those in our motorhomes!
The cupboard I've just cleaned out had some stains on the shelf due to a metal tin of 'brasso' having rusted on the base over time.
So I dobbed a sprinkling of bicarbonate of soda onto the rust stain and added a couple of dashes of white vinegar to it.
Took some kitchen roll and rubbed the mixture together over the rust; the result was instantaneous & miraculous!
Wiped the mixture off with a clean damp cloth and the shelf is now as brand new.
I reckon this mixture will clean all sorts of other stains & not just rust.
Happy scrubbing, folks!
PS. what I like about this is uses natural products instead of the nasty cleaning chemicals that are used in vast quantities everywhere - and this mixture works better and faster than any of them imho.
