Lift the Orange Stains for Good

Rust Removal — Surf & Shine

Rust Removal for Florida Homes & Businesses

Orange rust stains from irrigation systems are one of the most common and most stubborn staining problems on Florida homes. Standard pressure washing cannot remove these stains — they require specialized oxalic acid chemistry. Surf & Shine's targeted rust removal service treats driveways, stucco, siding, pool decks, and any other surface affected by iron-rich irrigation water.

Benefits of Rust Removal

  • Iron staining dissolves out of the concrete, not just off the top of it
  • Dilution gets matched to concrete, stucco or aluminum, so nothing etches
  • We identify the sprinkler head or well water causing it
  • The orange halos around driveway edges disappear

Our Rust Removal Process

1
Stain Assessment
We identify stain type and severity to determine the right treatment concentration.
2
Oxalic Acid Application
Specialized rust-dissolving agent applied directly to affected areas.
3
Dwell & Agitate
Solution is allowed to react with the iron deposits, then worked in as needed.
4
Rinse & Neutralize
Thorough rinse neutralizes the treatment chemistry and removes dissolved rust stains.

Rust Removal FAQs

Can regular pressure washing remove rust stains?
No. Rust stains are chemically bonded to the surface and require a chemical treatment to dissolve them. Pressure alone cannot remove them.
Will rust stains come back?
If the irrigation system continues to spray iron-rich water on the same areas, staining will return over time. Adjusting sprinkler heads or treating well water can reduce recurrence.
Is the treatment safe for landscaping?
Yes when applied correctly. We protect surrounding plants and use proper dilution rates for safe application.
How do I stop the rust stains from coming back?
Address the source. Redirect sprinkler heads away from concrete and siding, add an iron filter to the irrigation system, or put the affected areas on a treatment schedule. Otherwise the iron in the water keeps oxidizing on contact and bonding with the calcium carbonate in the surface, and the staining returns season after season.
