Yes, this product does remove the "dark brown" build-up. Do you use starch--or a sizing product? If so, I believe that is what it is. You may have to use the Rowenta product repeatedly, but it will be removed. And, to combat this issue, I spray on my starch first, let it set for a few seconds, they spray overtop with water---that keeps the "browning" down. Hope this helps!

This product worked wonders. Got all the gunk off that was on the iron. Nothing else I tried worked. So happy to have found this.

Yes, I have had good luck cleaning the build up - takes some elbow grease - but I keep the cleaning tube around.

I've had things that I've touched with a hot iron by accident that melted and turned brown. It looked like burned sugar, maybe. They were small spots on the edge of the sole plate but I was able to remove them with this cleaner. It may take more than one application though.

Yes, If applied correctly it will "kill" the rust, thereby stop the spreading of rust. It will NOT stop other, surrounding, areas from rusting. Only properly treated areas will have protected, rust free metal. Top coating with a quality paint is essential.

I use Lime- Away for that - it takes a few applications - (I just spray on and don't rinse) - but Whink also has another rust remover that works on other surfaces

We used this copper mesh in our outside weep holes around our house - works great. It was been exposed to the outside weather (Texas) for over a year. The copper color will tone down to a dark brown. Because it is copper there is no rust stains.

Yes, unless the rust has already pitted the surface. If the rust has already ruined the sur surface, you will see some variation. But it will clean it up.

It is more of a rust color with a few brown spots. Had to spray paint mine. But I them.

HI- A good copper cleaner will do. Like Twinkle, etc. Apply the paste to outside only

Yes, it will. But be very careful. It's almost the same as Lime Away. Only Lime away won't take off rust.

It's not something I would use alone it would have to be cleaned up some and maybe even filled with a heavy primer. the key behind this produce is it stops the rust through a chemical reaction. This chemical reaction may cause damage to areas with paint, Its a great product but follow the directions closely.

Yes i think so it is showing some signs of light rust stains ... hope that helped

It will remove surface impurities. If you have some light corrosion or tarnish on the outside, then yes, some heavy polishing will take care of it. If the level of oxidation is too high, then the rust will have eroded and made pits in the metal. There is no helping that level of damage short of grinding away the surface completely.

That sounds like a fungus. I would give it a try. When my machine turned an ugly brown, after 8 years, this product took care of it in one use.

The rust already there should be removed. You should be able to use a little sand paper, being very careful not to scratch the surrounding area. Then you can apply this to the area where the rust was. The color of the paint is unlikely to match the color of your stove precisely, so while it will cover the spot and stop the rust from spreading, the patch will most likely be a slighly different color than the rest of the stove.

I am not sure. If the metal is black in color in some cases the color will fade to reveal the actual metal color. The cleaning works instantly.

Need to clean the rust off first maybe with some rust elimnator. But yes it works great!

Hard anti rust finish. I've kept 3 Cocktails in mine for over 15 months with no ill effects. Chech this out at your local petstore.

No stains here, mate. I wonder what you are seeing that won't come off with a bit of elbow grease or a touch of bleach. Maybe you are seeing rust or something elsewise that isn't normal fare.
