Yes. CLR Calcium, Lime & Rust Remover is a powerful formula that quickly and easily dissolves and removes tough calcium and lime deposits as well as surface rust stains.
CLR Calcium, Lime & Rust Remover is part of the EPA’s Safer Choice Program (formerly Design for the Environment (DfE)) recognizing the product as a safer alternative to chemicals.
It is an effective product but comes with some dangers to you and your family. CLR is 8 to 12% lactic acid. It is very corrosive if left on too long and can damage wood, clothing, wallpaper, carpeting, marble, terrazzo, natural stone, colored grout, painted or metallic glazed surfaces, plastic laminates, Formica or aluminum.
When using CLR always use in well-ventilated area, wear rubber gloves, rinse the area completely with cold, clean water and never mix with other household cleaners or bleach.
One of the best homemade alternatives to CLR is plain old white distilled vinegar.
