Aging metal furniture subjected to the elements for too long, fertilizers containing iron, outdoor lighting fixtures and a host of other things can all cause dreaded rust stains. Affecting concrete, brickwork, shingles, rubber, stone, tile, stucco, pavers and even vinyl siding, rust is unsightly and notoriously stubborn to remove. The problem can be even more pronounced if your home uses well water, which often contains high levels of iron.
If you’ve ever tried to remove a stubborn rust stain from concrete or just about any other surface, you know it can be a frustrating challenge. It doesn’t have to be, though. You’re not stuck living with ugly rust stains, and you don’t have to spring for an entire surface replacement to get rid of them as long as you play your cards correctly.
