How Do I Clean Rust?

Rust stains are a very common problem both inside and outside the home. They are caused by iron-containing products such as metal furniture, tools, fertilisers and even leaking pipes. While they are common they can be unsightly, so removing rust stains is required to keep surfaces clean.

Cleaning rust can be an arduous task and it may cause damage to the substrate that needs to be cleaned. Finding an effective solution that is safe for various surfaces is the ideal approach to getting rid of these pesky stains.
