Yes this product does remove rust stains effectively. Make sure to prewet any grass and rinse very heavily when done.
I have iron rust marks from fertilizer on my white concrete drive and grey pavers. Will Defy Safer Brick and Masonry remove it? Also, what precautions should I take regarding the grass that borders the area?
