Chemical Cleaner: The Works® (Environmentally Un-Friendly)

The Works® Contains Hydrochloric Acid


One product that has been around for 50 years and will do a good job of getting rid of rust stains without a lot of elbow grease is called The Works.

You basically just spray it on, let it set and then rinse away. However the product is about 20% hydrochloric acid and I would caution its use. Do not use the product if you have a septic system.
