Customer Testimonial on Concrete Rust Remover with Step-by-step Photos
This summer after fertilizing our front yard, my wife and I noticed a tremendous amount of large orange spots on our driveway and sidewalk. It looked terrible and we didn't know what to do. Through the advice of some friends, we determined that we needed a powerful rust removal product to remove the rust stains caused by our lawn fertilizer and ironite. Luckily, we found The Rust Store's Concrete Rust Removal product. The product was easy to use and with a bit of work, our driveway and sidewalk now look great. What a relief...thank you so much The Rust Store!
These photos show the ugly rust stains caused by the fertilizer such as Ironite. Since many fertilizers contain a small percentage of iron, they will often leave rust spots on concrete surfaces once they get wet from rain or lawn watering. To avoid future problems, we recommend a thorough sweeping of these surfaces after fertilizer is applied.
Mixing Concrete Rust Remover
The customer mixed the Concrete Rust Remover with water as directed. We recommend that you have a bucket and a stir stick handy for proper mixing.
During Application
These photos show the Concrete Rust Remover during the application process. It's recommended that you the apply the product with a brush. The scrub brush might be necessary to use on stubborn stains.
Let the Product Work and Wash Off
Let the product sit on the area for 15-30 minutes. Hose off a small section to determine if it needs to sit longer or requires scrubbing then wash off well with a hose. (Note: If you have a large area of rust stains, we recommend breaking it down into smaller sections as you work.)
After Using Concrete Rust Remover
Both the driveway and sidewalk are free of rust stains and look like new again.
