I'd first try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and if that doesn't work try Barkeeper's Friend - you'll find it next to the Comet Cleanser in about any store.I sprayed a bleach cleaner in my bath tub and it almost instantly left rust-colored stains. How do I remove?
FYI, Barkeepers friend (which I have a case of in the basement anyway since I have all stainless pots and pans) worked with *light* scrubbing. Thanks, everyone!

Bleach was used in our old cast iron bath leaving orange streaks.
They were easily removed using lemon juice

You're right, it is a chemical reaction. Bleach is an oxidising agent, so will cause rusting on susceptible materials - such as an enamel bath. Hydrogen peroxide (hair bleach) will neutralise the chlorine bleach you've used %26amp; stop the marks getting worse but probably won't remove them. Lemon juice or cream of tarter may remove the rust marks, however if your bath is enamel, lemon juice can damage the glaze, thus creating further problems.

Next time use a specific, non-abrasive cleaner that says it's suitable for use on vitreous enamel, porecelain %26amp; ceramic ware.
This is an unusual one. I would actually try some rust remover. There are several products in the store for removing rust stains. Give some a try. If that doesn't work I would call the company of the product you did use and ask them what happened.
I would try using a Mr Clean magic eraser to get rid of the stains. We had rust stains on our bathroom countertops when we moved in and it took them right off.
