How Do You Remove Rust Stains From Concrete?
There is no easy way to remove rust stains with just a solvent cleaner. The best way to go about this is by dissolving a layer of concrete with a very strong solution. With a little help from muriatic acid, this problem will be history. Here is how to get rid of those rust stains, so break out your safety gear. Follow directions carefully. Lay all materials on a plastic cover. Once you have your safety gear on, put two cups of water in the plastic pan and add 1/4 cup of muriatic acid to the water. Always pour acid into water and not the other way around. Apply a little acid solution at a time on the rust stain. Solution will bubble. Let it soak in and begin to work for about five minutes. Use the floor brush to scrub it in and reapply as needed. Remember the acid is removing a top layer of concrete. Use fresh water to rinse off and scrub the area clean. Make sure every trace of solution is gone. Do not get any of this solution on plants or they will die. Notice the look of the concrete
