    Wink Rust stains in spa

    Hi - I wanted to share that I just used vitamin c pills from CVS to succesfully remove rust stains from my pebble sheen plaster in spa. The rust was from some fertilizer with iron that ended up going over spa wall when I fertilized the lawn. I let the pill sit for 30 seconds and then rubbed it in followed by brushing with small stiff nylon brush. Repeated 2 times and looks great now.

    Just remember, the Vitamin C removes the stain from the spa, and puts it back in the water -- it does NOT get it OUT of the water.

    On a spa, the easiest fix would be to clean the stains, and then drain and refill the pool.
