Cleaning Tips

Safe Irrigation Rust Stain Removal
Many homes in the Fraser Valley deal with unsightly rust stains on concrete and wood surfaces caused by irrigation systems high in iron content. These orange discolorations can be stubborn to remove, but using a professional grade product like F9 BARC provides an effective solution. To ensure a safe application, you should create a dilution ratio of three parts water to one part F9 BARC in a clean sprayer. This mixture is potent enough to lift the iron bonds from your surfaces without requiring harsh abrasive scrubbing.
Begin the process by ensuring the affected area is clean of loose debris, then lightly mist your diluted solution onto the surface. You will often see an immediate reaction as the product begins to break down the iron stains, which typically vanish before your eyes. It is important to work in manageable sections to ensure the solution does not dry on the surface prematurely. Always rinse the area thoroughly with fresh water once the rust has dissipated to neutralize the surface and remove any remaining residue.
