Removing rust from stone can be extremely difficult but with the correct products it is easy. Look at the pictures above and you will see that top one is a picture of a sandstone wall that has been stained over the years with rust that has washed off from the railings that used to be attached to the wall. This wall has been like this for over 13 years and it would seem almost impossible to remove the rust marks. When the delivery driver delivered the chemical that I used to clean the wall he said that I would not remove the rust stains.

NET-TROL IS THE PRODUCT THAT I USED TO REMOVE THE RUST FROM THE STONE WALL ABOVE. |

Here is the wall that has been stained with rust for years. |

Wet the stone with some clean water. Here I have used a garden sprayer. |

Now before you do anything make sure that you are covered up, so a pair of overalls is a good idea. Goggles and rubber gloves should also be worn as the net-trol is acidic. Net-Trol is plant and pet safe and so I am probably being over cautious here! Apply the Net-Trol to the stone using a brush and leave it for 20-30 minutes. |

After the 20-30 minutes has passed brush the stone using a stiff brush ( not metal ). Here I have used a deck scrub. |

After brushing the stone rinse off the net-trol with clean water |

The results are pretty amazing!
