                  After running my sprinklers for a week (source is Florida Well water), the side of the house developed a strong yellow stain. I tried to pressure wash it over, to no avail. It's been on the house for 3-4 weeks now. Purchased this Rust Aid Outdoor, and figured I'd give it a try. It absolutely worked immediately, like magic. I opened the cap, and poured a little right down the wall, and it cleared the yellow stain Immediately. I felt like this may use too much of the liquid, as I had a big area, so I put it in a spray bottle (no dilution); and this happily worked as well. This now let me do bigger areas, and not have to waste any by just pouring down the wall. 10 out of 10 on effectiveness of Florida Well water staining, heavy in Tanins.

                  Worthless on Garage Floor Rust
                  I purchased this product to remove rust stains on my garage floor caused by snow from a snow blower melting when it was in the garage. I applied it, waited, applied more, waited, scraped the rust, applied more, waited, scrubbed the rust, and.......... the rust was unaffected. The product did nothing.

                    Rustaid Works
                    I bought many products to try to resolve my 'removing rust stains from shed dilemma'. I thought I would try again over this Thanksgiving holiday and pick up this product from Home Depot at the recommendation of a long time employee there. It is truly amazing what this product did. It restored my sheds appearance to like new.

                      Works like a charm!
                      This thing is amazing. I knocked down my backpack full of cheated iron and other lawn chemicals mix... It was a mess!!! I sprayed the stained concrete with this Rust out chemical and saw the stains disappear right away. This chemical even took care of thr old cheated iron stains.. Now that the concrete is free of all those stains, the rest of it looks dirty. Lol So happy I chose this product. It did not disappoint.

                        This product is amazing, worked instantly on a white vinyl fence. I didn't have a pump so I used a round up little wand.

                          This stuff is great for removing rust from your sidewalk or front stoop. It makes my front stoop look super white and clean and removes rust stains from the old rebar that is embeded in my stoop. You just wash it on full strength and no elbow grease is needed. Easy.

                          Worked but it damaged my lawn
                          It got rid of the rust stains on my fence and driveway however it greatly damaged my grass even though it clearly said on the packaging that it won't harm plants and grass. See attached pictures.
