How to get rid of rust marks?

I left a whisk that had rust on it in a porcelain bowl overnight and now there is a rust mark on the inside of my white porcelain bowl. I have tried to scrub it with dish soap and soaked it in bleach water but it's not working. Everything online talks about how to clean a toilet bowl. Does anyone know how to get rid of the mark on the serving bowl? Thank you!

    try these ways, hope they help !

    1.Salt + Lime: put little bit of salt on the rust, then squeeze the lime over the salt until it is soaking. let it for 2-3 hours.

    or

    2. White Vinegar + Aluminum Foil: wet the aluminium foil with white vinegar and scrub on the rust.

    or

    3. Baking Soda + Water: put baking soda directly into the rust and use a tooth brush and scrub on the rust.

    From the seemingly bizarre advice for toilets, yet with porcelain that has a culinary purpose in mind - perhaps try Coca-Cola, a paper towel could be liberally dowsed and hung over the area if it's the edge.

    You should be able to try this continually until success.

    Thing is, rust is comprised of very fine particles - I liken it to barnacles finding a way to anchor themselves even on Teflon....

    Go to the market and get CLR. Follow directions. Rinse bowl real well before using. Get a better whisk they should not be rusting. Throw it out.
