How to get rust out of a refrigerator?
Barry
It may be permanent. But it's worth trying a paste of bicarbonate of soda aka baking powder. This stuff left to soak will remove most stains. Gently scrub after a few hours.

try coke or CLR

An abrasive cleanser with bleach , like Comet or Ajax. Let a paste of it sit on the stains for a while, then scrub.

SOS pads, coke cola or CLR.
Common Sense
Don't use sandpaper or a brillo pad type cleaning pad because either will scratch the plastic fridge and forever be a spot that will not wipe clean easily due to the abrasives wearing out the finish. Instead, use a Magic Eraser and some elbow grease. Or a natural cleaner, like lemon, vinegar, salt and or baking soda.

Ajax or Comet cleanser. It is used on pots and pans. It will get it out with elbow grease. Fridge needs to be colder as Antarctica is all desert so nothing rusts because there is no liquid rain.

Product called CLR can remove rust stains.

Coca-cola usually removes rust (it contains phosphoric acid). Otherwise use white vinegar. If neither works, spinkle salt on the rust patches, add a little vinegar to make a paste and scrub with a clean cloth. When you have finished, wash everything out well then wipe over the floor with a damp cloth with a little baking soda on it.

Rust Stain Removal: Plastic Step 1 - Wash. The first thing you will want to do is wash your plastic as usual. ... Step 2 - Baking Soda and Vinegar. Apply baking soda to the rust spot, covering it entirely. ... Step 3 - Spread Evenly. Take the paste, and spread it thick and evenly across the entire rust stain. ... Step 4 - Scrub. ... Step 5 - Rinse and Wash It may be impossible as rust seems to "burn" onto surfaces. If the above won't do it, try 400 sandpaper and "grind" it off. You really may have to abrade (wear) it away. As a child, I ruined a glass test tube by storing iron filings inside. They rusted and etched INTO the glass.
