I think the product was called ZUD. It was a cleanser whose active
agent was Oxalic acid. It was very effective at removing rust stains. I
haven't seen it on the market since the late 70's.

My mother-in-law used to use a cleanser called Zud. If this is what
you are looking for, try the soap department in the supermarket (where
you find Comet, etc). I don't know for sure if it is still made.

I'm surprised CR compared it to the usual Ajax and Comet sort of
products, I assume?
ZUD is really a specialty cleaner product, something you use when you
suspect rust stains on porcelein is yellowing or browning it, not
instead of the usual chlorine-based product.

I bought a can about a year ago at Ace hardware.
We bought a can just last year. By the way, if rust stains are a problem and
Zud won't get them out, try liquid Vanish toilet cleaner. We have found this
to be quite effective around drains and the like when nothing else will work.
Just don't get it on your hands.

The number on the back of the container is: 800. 338.6167, but for
medical emergency.
The distributor is: Reckitt & Colman Household Products, Dist. wayne,
NJ 07474-0945
It also carries a warning that the state of California has found in
it a chemical known to cause cancer. Nice, eh??

It's only going to really work on rust stains, otherwise use the usual
chlorine based stuff (comet, ajax, etc.)

Oxalic acid causes cancer? Hmm, better stay away from rhubarb!
I saw it on the shelf at Kroger (a big name here in parts of Ohio) a few
weeks ago.

however, should you choose to agree with them, you are indeed

× If it is Zud you want, I'd check at your local hardware store. It is a
I've used Zud too, and it works very well. You're right about it being
abrasive. If anyone is looking for something that also scrubs effectively
but is not abrasive, try Barkeepers Friend. I've used it on porcelain and
it does not scratch it. It's available in the grocery store usually.
Hope this helps.
