Getting Rust Stains Out Of Pavement

[gentlemang]

Any one know of a way to get rust stains from pavement? I have an old car and it has caused a large rust stain on my driveway.

So far I have tried, with little to no sucess the following

CLR (didnt even touch it)

baking soda, no effect

simple green heavy duty cleaner, no effect

vinegar (had some small effect)

 

I am moving soon and need to get this off.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you know of a company that can do it relatively cheap that would also work.

I have scrubbed and scrubbed with a long handle brush so much that the bristles on the brush are now gone.

Help

Did you try using a wire brush with the CLR? If you can use something around the stain so it can pool the CLR so it can sit for a while that might work as well...

 

I've heard coke works, but have never tried it...

Heavy acid! Pm me and i can get u a bit to see if it works.

Oxalic acid. Do a Google search and you'll find instructions for using it to remove rust stains on concrete.

Dynamite works wonders

Too extreme.

Just talk to the useless City workers that you see all over the place & they will give you a deal as long as the union is not involved.

They will actually work for less than $45 per hour as long as it is cash & they get a paid break every 45 minutes.

Unlike the COPS, they don't request donuts from Timmy's.

Actually I have tried dynamite, made a mess but didn't get the stain out.

Would Muriatic acid count as a heavy acid?

I will try the coke and see what happens.

Then try the Oxalic acid, which I understand is in wood bleach products.

 

Thanks for all of the feedback.

Park the damn thing on your lawn next time, christ this is wild rose country.....

I found this stuff called Iron Out. It is a household cleaner designed to remove rust stains from laundry. It worked great. Took out the stain in minutes.

Would recommend for any tough rust stains.

I didn't think that it was going to work, it was more of a hail mary play before I called in a company to take care of it.

Thanks for the advise.

Found it at Canadian Tire, in the general household cleaning stuff.

Again it works great.

 

Thats funny Taco. This should be a great week to get out the brush buster and clear cut the yard. Or fish.
