There is grease, grilling and rust stains on my concrete patio pad from the previous home owner. I have tried cleaning it but have had no luck removing the stains. Whats the best way to remove them?

Rust stains, can be removed with Lime -Away type products...
Use H2O2, removing all the stains while penetrating deep into the surface.
I know you can remove rust stains from enamel sinks with "salts of lemon" available at pharmacies... or just plain lemon juice and salt...
Thank you. I tried removeing the rust first with the lime away-it removed most of it. Then I tried bleach. The bleach lightened it but didnt remove it all. Twice I let it sit for an hour with H202 and some baking soda. I scrubbed it with a push broom. And now it looks great. I ended up cleaning my whole patio this morning. it looks absolutely amazing. I also found out that H202 in a spray bottle with some water does a great spot cleaning-takes the green stuff right off of our house's siding. Does an outstanding job of cleaning up our mud room too. I didnt realize peroxide had so many uses. Love it! Thank You.
Try Super Clean (everyone calls it the purple stuff). You can get it at Walmart, Autozone, Lowes, HD. I spilled paint on my asphalt driveway. Sprayed it with Super Clean, let it sit for about 5 minutes, then rinsed it off.
