Hard water stains on acrylic shower

[BlueNightingale]

Dear God,
Please let there be people who know how to handle this and not tell me I'm going to have to do an acrylic pour

I am so desperate I could cry

Apparantly mixing white vinegar with baking soda, make it into a paste, is good for removing stains. I have no idea what an acrylic pour is !
Can I ask why it is stressing you out so much ?

I did try baking soda, bleach, barkeeper's friend, Clorox, and even oven cleaner.

When we got here, the bathtub was brown. Took a lot of work. Now it's only brown on part of it and it's a lot of work. It's just horribly ugly.

An acrylic pour is basically redoing the whole bathtub and can cost hundreds.

Oh I see , and I get why it has bothered you xxxx
Have you tried WD40, it removes rust from things - presuming it’s called that in the US - might be worth a try ( didn’t think of that myself, just saw it online as a recommendation xx )

Lots of cleaning, priming, and sanding with a multitool, and then repainting.

If everyone has this problem, this may be the answer. Will see if it holds up.
