Rust on Vinyl

[pdmcali]

In doing a house wash there are a couple of rust stain underneath two vinyl sutters that have been screwed to the house. Any ideas what will remove the rust stains. So far have we have boosted our house wash with SH and used a soft bush with a little heat. We do not want to use to much heat as it may worp the vinyl.

Try a little oxalic acid, sometimes it works on that

rust aid from home depot or lowes will work also.

Rust is a mineral stain and you will need an acidic cleaner to help remove it. Oxalic acid can work or other kinds of acidic cleaners will work. Rust, red clay, sprinkler splash, mortar splash are just a few example of souils than require an acidic cleaner for removal. Hope this helps.

We ended up using the Rust Aid from Home Depot. It performed excellent. Just sprayed on and wiped off. Thanks to all.
