How to remove rust off patio

Juicy_Tube

Whilst we are on subject of cleaning patios...Summer is coming i promise!!:rolleyes:

I had a table which was leaking rust when it rained and left its marks on the stones. Have used pressure washer but not really shifted it.

Any ideas?

TIA

Have you tried bleach scrubbed on stain and left overnight?

Grumbler that was a great site you recommended to Juicy Tube. I will certainly be referring to it myself. Many thanks.

Another thing to try is cheap lemonade! The acid will lift a tiny amount of the surface and may get rid of the rust too. I've being doing it for years on a porch with no impact on the surface. Brings it up really well.

I've said cheap lemonade as it doesn't really matter what it is as long as it is slightly acidic...

Well, according to the advert anyway. Removes rust caused by the plastic hose!

Thanks Elona!

Got around to doing this tonight as it is raining now..got out the bleach, scrubbed away and the rust marks have gone. Thanks so much, sure this will help someone else..Not just the rust has gone, it's given the whole patio a spring clean(Did a power wash a few weeks ago, so it has 'refreshed' it!)

Thanks again,
