Get Rid of Fertilizer Stains on Concrete with Rust Remover Plusโ„ข

It usually happens when a homeowner forgets to sweep the driveway after they fertilized the lawn. They call in a panic because their driveways is covered in brown spots. Now you must figure out a way to get rid of fertilizer stains on concrete. Fertilizer stains on concrete are caused by rust. Strong acid blends like Rust Remover Plusโ„ข are needed.

Rust Remover Plusโ„ข is a concentrated blend of acids that effectively remove rust stains from concrete. This means that it can beย applied at full strength, or diluted with water up to a 1:5 mixture. The exact dilution ratio for Remover Plusโ„ข will depend on the severity of the rust stain and the condition of the driveway or sidewalk.

Fertilizer stains may only cover a portion of the concrete, but you should be prepared to apply Rust Remover Plusโ„ข to the entire area. Even coverage to the entire area willย prevent undesirable โ€œclean white spotsโ€ from appearing on the cleaned concrete.
