Rust stains on concrete ect...
My well water for sprinkling is a bit on the rusty side . Do any of you know of a good product for removing the stains . I already googled it & the results were inconclusive ...
Thanks ...

I use bleach, pour it on, and scrub with an old sweep broom. then just hose it off.

Pretty bad, I did a lot of grinding when I was welding on the truck, that went on for a while, the rains sank it in pretty good.
They also have a product called CLR, calcium, rust,lime that does good in my tub,we have a well that leaves rust stains too, never tried it outside though.

yeah, that only works on glazed surfaces.
pour a cap full in a soda bottle, and stick a piece of tin foil in it. screw the cap on tight, and throw it. run like hell. Kaboom!!!!

Muriatic acid will eat away at the concrete.

Don't leave it on there long. A little at a time. Go to Lowes and get concrete sealer, cover your concrete. The next time it will wash off.
