Hi

I got a driveway about 120sq m to clean and on about 4-5 sq metres there is rust. Its  from the skip which was sitting there for long time
What is best way to remove that, what products to use?

Thanks

What type of drive is it,block,slab,concrette?

Depending on surface you could try Brick Acid (Hydrochloric Acid) diluted about 4:1 with water.

If you are happy that the surface can be cleaned using acid then proceed as follows: -

Soak the surface with water, apply the acid solution via brush or sprayer, leave for a couple of minutes then rinse. Repeat as required and extend the amount of 'dwell' time each time you do this.

i would not use hydrochloric acid as although it works it does effect a lot of surfaces and leave a bad staining there are much better and safer rust removers than this as said do a search.

I seen that with lemon and vinegar cleaning but area is 5-6sq meter, maybe bigger.
I would need lots of lemons

5-6 sq mtrs that must have been one hell of a big skip then,btw 1 ltr of pure vinegar is only £2.09 ,how much are the other cleaners that are mainly vinegar based wont hurt giving it a go will it??

if using lemons watch for any cuts on ya fingers,lol
