How do I remove stains (from planter) from my concrete stoop?

Try pouring lemon juice or vinegar on the rust and leave on for awhile then use a scrub brush.

WD-40 ***** Just spray it with a generous amount of WD-40 and then hose it down with water. ***** Soda (Coca Cola) ***** Work the cola in with a bristle broom, and leave the cola for about twenty minutes. Mix 1/4 cup laundry detergent with 1/4 cup bleach in 1 gallon (3.7 liters) warm water and use it to mop up the mess. ***** Oven Cleaner ***** Spray them with Easy Off No Fume Oven Cleaner in the BLUE can. Let it settle for 5-10 minutes, then scrub with a stiff brush and rinse it off with your garden hose at its highest pressure. Severe stains may require a second application. ***** Kool-Aid ***** Nasty rust stains on your concrete? Mix unsweetened lemonade Kool-Aid with hot water. Scrub and the rust stain should come right out. ***** Ammonia ***** Tired of those annoying discolorations on your concrete work? To get rid of them, scrub with 1 cup ammonia diluted in 1 gallon (3.7 liters) water. Hose it down well when youāre done.
Thanks William!
Buy WHINK rust & stain remover at Ace hardware stores. It is amazing. Just squirt it on directly from plastic container & wait 5 minutes. Hose it off & voila.
I bought a product called Iron Out. Works like a charm on toilets so you might try it.
used wd40 on oil and it made it worse. Vinegar did not work at all
Coke sometimes works. But a commercial product to remove rust would be best.
