Put on gloves. Use these to protect your hands even if the product is considered natural or non-toxic.

Mix borax and lemon juice together on a disposable plate or bowl. The consistency should be a paste-like substance. Rub onto the stain and allow it to dry completely. Rinse the ceramic tile with water and repeat until stain is gone.

Use a mixture of a vinegar and salt to make a paste. Apply to the rust stain and wait 4 to 5 hours and then rinse with hot water. Repeat as necessary.

Consider purchasing a mild cleanser such as Bon Ami. Apply to area with a moistened, soft cloth. This fine powder will remove the stain and not scratch surfaces. It is also environmentally friendly.

Purchase scouring sticks made of pumice which is volcanic rock. Wet the stick and rub over the stain on the ceramic tile. This cleaning product will not harm the finish.
