Over this last 3 months I've noticed brown rust like marks appearing on the bathroom wall. I've not idea what it can be. It doesn't wipe off. It's quite hard to touch. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
The brown rust-like marks on your bathroom wall are likely caused by iron or manganese in the water. The best way to remove them is to use a specialized rust remover, which can be found at most hardware or home improvement stores. These products are specifically designed to break down and remove rust stains.
To use the rust remover, simply apply it to the stained area and let it sit for the amount of time recommended on the product label. Once the time has elapsed, scrub the area gently with a stiff-bristled brush to remove the stain. Be sure to rinse the area thoroughly with water to remove any remaining residue.
Another option is to use a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar, or lemon juice and salt. Apply the solution to the stain and let it sit for about an hour before scrubbing the area with a stiff-bristled brush. Rinse thoroughly with water.
It's important to note that if the rust stain is caused by a corroded pipe, it will likely reoccur unless the underlying problem is fixed. You may want to consider contacting a plumber to inspect the pipes.
