Green Chemicals for Removing Rust Stains from Concrete

Rust causes some of the most difficult to remove stains on hard surfaces such as concrete. The problem with these stains, besides their persistence, is their pervasiveness – rarely is concrete stained on just one little spot. If a drainpipe or other fixtures have resulted in the stain, chances are that you will need to clean along the entire length to eliminate the stains. To deal with these challenges, most contractors responsible for maintenance and cleaning use chemical-based strong detergents, which can damage the environment and be harmful to the user’s health. Green chemicals are a safe, simple alternative to these detergents.

Eco-Green® Concrete Cleaner with Rust Stain Remover, is a unique product offered by Daimer®. This cleaning solution, like other green chemicals offered by Daimer®, is biodegradable. It is non-toxic and non-flammable, and, therefore, safe to use and store. The Eco-Green® Concrete Cleaner works by breaking down the molecular bonds in rust (or iron oxide) stains. Once that completes, a pressure washer or hose can be used for washing away the stains.

Besides rust stain removal, the Eco-Green® Concrete Cleaner with Rust Stain Remover also removes grease, hydrocarbons, mud spatter, and other dirt on the surface. There are other green chemicals available from Daimer® that are used for cleaning walls, floors, pavements, sidewalks, basements, and other concrete surfaces. These chemicals derived from plants are made of food grade ingredients, which make it safe for use in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and homes.
