Remove Rust From Your Driveway With These Tips

Margie Craig

If you have a concrete driveway, as time passes you may start to notice rust forming on the surface of your driveway. Rust can be difficult to remove with soap and water, so you might think there's not much you can do about the way your driveway looks. Fortunately, with the three tips below, you may be able to get rid of the rust you see.

Use Brown Soda

It may seem strange that the soda or cola you enjoy drinking on a daily basis could help you clean your concrete driveway, but that might very well be the case. Brown soda has phosphoric acid in it, which can attack the rust on your driveway's surface without damaging the concrete itself. Phosphoric acid turns rust into a different form that can be washed away with water.

When you want to use soda on rust, open a few cans of it and pour them directly onto the stains. Give the soda a few minutes to work, and then scrub the stains with a hard-bristle brush. You might want to try different brands of brown soda to discover which removes rust stains better than the others.

Try Vinegar

One of the easiest things you can do to start cleaning any rust from your driveway is to pour some white vinegar onto the stains you see. You may already have it in your cupboard, but if you do not, it is also easily and affordably acquired from your neighborhood grocery store.

The reason that white vinegar is effective for removing rust is that it is acidic and dissolves rust. After allowing the vinegar to sit on the stains for some time, you can brush the stains with a wire brush or steel wool to dislodge the rust. When you're done, use your garden hose to wash the vinegar and rust away.

Get a Commercial Rust Removal Solution

Of course, you can always go to a local home improvement or big box store and pick up a rust removal solution. However, some rust removers have strong, caustic acids in them, so it is important that you take care to wear thick rubber gloves, safety goggles, long pants and a long-sleeve shirt. Read the directions thoroughly before you begin so that you can protect yourself and ensure the rust is removed.

Getting rust off of the driveway need not be an insurmountable challenge when you make an attempt to use the three tips above. Check with local concrete contractors and experts in your neighborhood for more useful suggestions.

Hi, I'm Victor Grayson. The bedroom is my sanctuary. After working at a labor intensive job all day, I look forward to falling into bed and relaxing. As a result, I really took the time to prepare my bedroom for the ultimate in relaxation. I paid close attention to the different types of furniture, bedding and decorations that would work well in that space. I used a variety of techniques to make sure my bedroom made it easy to rest without distractions. That means that my room is free of electronics and light emitting devices, beyond the single lamp on the bedside table. However, there are many different ways to set up the bedroom space. I will use this site to discuss the different types of bedroom layouts you can create. I will also talk about the wide range of furniture items you can choose for your sleeping space.
