Orange rust stains are one of the most common problems we see on North Texas concrete. They come from iron-rich well or sprinkler water, granular fertilizer, patio furniture, and metal tools left outside. Pressure alone will not lift rust. It takes the right rust-dissolving treatment, applied at the right strength, followed by a thorough rinse. That is exactly how we clean it.

Most rust stains around Arlington homes come from four sources: sprinkler systems that spray iron-heavy water on driveways, sidewalks, and brick; granular fertilizer that sits on concrete after the lawn is fed; metal patio furniture, grills, and planters; and vehicles or equipment parked in the same spot. Sprinkler rust shows up as orange fan-shaped streaks along the edge of the lawn. Fertilizer rust looks like small orange dots or speckles.
We start by identifying the source so we can pick the right treatment. Next, we apply a professional rust remover designed for concrete and masonry, let it dwell so it can dissolve the iron oxide, and then rinse the surface completely with our surface cleaner. Stubborn or older stains may need a second application. We protect your lawn, plants, and nearby surfaces throughout the job.
Concrete driveways and sidewalks, patios and pool decks, brick and stone walls, stucco and siding with sprinkler overspray, and pavers. If you are not sure whether a stain is rust, clay, or oil, send us a photo and we will tell you what we recommend.
Rust stains return when the source stays the same. Adjust sprinkler heads so they do not spray hardscapes, sweep fertilizer off concrete right after application, and place pads under metal furniture. For sprinkler systems with high iron content, ask us about a maintenance cleaning plan.
