RUST REMOVAL - CLR?

Has anyone tried removing rust stains from machinery using CLR?

During winter, mice got under the poly tarp covers on my bench-top jointer and the table of my drill press.

I think the rust stains are the result of them peeing.

I have since covered the DP table with 12mm plywood, and intend to make a wooden cover for the jointer.

I have tried removing the rust from the jointer table using steelwool, but it is slow going.

My neighbour suggested trying CLR.



Thanks,



Jim
