HMK R179 Rust Remover: For Soft Natural Stone
What is HMK R179 Rust Remover?
HMK R179 Rust Remover is a ready-to-use cleaner, specially formulated to remove rust and metal oxide stains from calcareous and acid-sensitive natural stone surfaces like marble and limestone. This product effectively tackles rust stains caused by iron-containing fertilizers, garden furniture, leaking radiators, and other iron sources. It contains a special rust protection component that helps reduce further rust formation. HMK R179 can be used both indoors and outdoors and is safe to use on natural stone without damaging the surface. Always read the label before use and test the product in an inconspicuous area to ensure safety and effectiveness.
How does HMK R179 Rust Remover work?
HMK R179 Rust Remover works by being sprayed directly onto rust stains. Ensure the surface to be treated is dry and free of coatings or impregnations. Shake the bottle well before use and spray the product evenly onto the stain. Let the cleaner work for 10 to 15 minutes, during which a purple discoloration may occur due to the chemical reaction. After the application time, wipe the surface with a soft, lint-free cloth. Then rinse with HMK R155 Intensive Cleaner (acid-free) diluted at a ratio of 1:20 to remove any cleaner residues. Repeat the process if necessary until the stain is completely gone. Avoid use in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces.
