How do I remove rust from ceramic beige tiles? The metal table and chairs have caused the rust.

There are many proprietary tile cleaners on the market and most tile importers and suppliers can usually recommend one that works. Give Di Lorenzo Tiles a call on (02) 8818 2999 for their recommendation. In the mean time, why not try a home-grown solution of borax and lemon juice, or vinegar and salt (mix each combination to a paste, rub into the stain, leave to dry - in the case of the vinegar and salt, leave for 4 to 5 hours. Rinse off with hot water, repeat as necessary).
