Anyone figure out how to remove the rust stains from concrete that this causes? I've tried CLR, Behr Concrete Cleaner &amp; Etcher, Super Iron Out, &amp; HCL.

I do not notice it leaving rust on my pavers. I use it at least once or twice a week. However, if you're really concerned about that, try setting it on top of some 16x16 pavers. Kinda like a platform. The quality of this steel firepit, to me, far outweighs rust stains. However, I do not see any. Hope this helps!

Odormute makes a HUGE amount of liquid product. Mix it up according to the directions on the box, pour it liberally on the concrete, and cover it with plastic for 4 hours so the enzymes can work a good amount of time. Then take the plastic off and let it dry (or put a fan on to speed it up). It will still stink until the concrete is totally dry, and then the smell will be gone like magic. It's truly amazing. DON'T clean the concrete with other products first, because then the enzymes might not work. If there is a lot of uric acid crystals from a truly horrendous buildup, go ahead and mop that off with plain water before treating it.

Sorry to hear that you're having issues. I have it on my cement step leading to my deck as well but it's still on there. Maybe just scrape it off? Or if you have any left over, reapply it?

Hi, Sorry to hear that, Yes, my experience was horrible with that product too. I tried getting rid of it just on one area (stairs) and I simply used a very hard-bristle metal brush. I don't really know if there are solvents or something better, I would ask @ home depot. Sorry.Hope you asked for a refund, I sent Rust-Oleum a dissatisfaction email and they refunded the product price. Not a complete consolation since the time & effort is more expensive, but it's something.

Works well. Increase dwell time from lacquer. Couple coats before scraping off. No water until end. Scraper, steel wool, then hot water and nylon brush, then pressure washer, then soap and water, then pressure washer. Faster the better when scrubbing off stripper. Commit to it otherwise you'll just have to do it twice. Oxalic acid if you get black spots.

I have experienced the same thing. Fortunately, mine is setting on concrete in my basement, so it is not a problem.I belive the feet are made of a plastic resin that just bleeds. Best cleaner I have ever seen for carpets is "Spot Shot", sold at most Home Depots or Lowes.

I used the concrete restorer on my broomed concrete deck. A portion of the deck is under porch. This portion still looks good after 6 months. The portion exposed to the elements looks like crap in thst it has peeled up. This peeling started almost immediately after the application. I have had the same experience with the product designed for wood or concrete. Wish I could attach photos to my reviews. It is ashame this product does not perform as advertised because I have always had good luck with Rust-Oleum products. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT. I have told Home Depot & Lowes they should stop selling this product.. I used the concrete restorer on my broomed concrete deck. A portion of the deck is under porch.

I don't know where you live, but if you could get the bar sand or media blasted first that would take off any rust and loose chrome or anything else for that matter. If you can't do that you can just sand it by hand until you have a smooth and rust free surface and then use the primer. Another way is to buy a can of rust remover and shoot it on first, then sand and primer. The rust reformer will keep any rust from coming thru the new finish. You can purchase it on Amazon too. Hope this helps you.

I have had excellent results. Try this, use the powder mix with just a little water to make a paste. Use a scotch brite pad and start with little circles to larger circles with lite to med. pressure. It will remove the stain. However, if it is rust or corrosion, that might be deep in the stainless steel. Even stainless steel will rust with time, yo might have to work it for a long time to remove microscopic layers of the metal to reach clean metal. Then work with very light pressure to polish the metal to match the sink.

I have the same problem, I've tried to remove the stains with acetone and even a Magic Eraser, but nothing work. SO disappointing because I love the case!

Robyn, I tried everything to remove the rust stains around my bathroom facuet and nothing worked until I got Zud. If you are dealing with rust, I think it is a good product for that.

sorry, I don't know the solution. they say coke cola removes rust but I have never tried it. I think the best think is to go to goggle, ask the question and maybe they have the answer. good luck.

No stains here, mate. I wonder what you are seeing that won't come off with a bit of elbow grease or a touch of bleach. Maybe you are seeing rust or something elsewise that isn't normal fare.

I'm on my second one of these irons and I've never had rust spots. And I have FL tapwater, which is so bad I won't even drink it. I would see about returning it.

If you have rust stains it works GREAT!! They go away almost instantly... I love it and use it on my fiberglass tub enclosure, my sinks and my toilets. Hope this helps...
