Oh yeah....sure does...especially when the knucklehead apprentice forgets the tub cover and iron/steel particles get on it with a lil' moisture.
Soak overnight and viola!

I have also found that a cleanser named Zud will leech cutting oil out of a raw marble countertop if you leave it on a while. Had an apprentice that carried all his piping into a cooking school we were working on dripping oil all over, so we had a nice clean up to do before the day was over.

Will remember that for the up and coming putty dilemma I'm sure is bound to happen.

Been using CLR here for decades. There are better things such as RustAid if your only problem is rust. Vinegar removes lime deposits just fine and costs pennies. It's also your #1 'go to' if you play with epoxies, lower transdermals than alcohol.

Remember CLR is an acid and will etch limestone, marble, travertine etc.
