Soy Technologies has a product called SoyGreen Power Degreaser that would be worth testing for rust stain removal. I have attached the product information sheet with the MSDS on page two. Soy Technologies’’ Power Degreaser is a soy-based, non-flammable, biodegradable, low VOC and non-toxic product. Please respond if you would like samples to test.

Thanks.

Liz,

Below is an email from a listserv that I subscribed to. I don't know if you have a product to suit their needs.

Thanks,

Our Administrative Services building maintenance department switched to green cleaning products for all State buildings with one exception; rust stain remover. They asked us for an environmentally-friendly product that will remove rust stains from a variety of surfaces such as concrete, metal, porcelain, etc.

I’ve been to P2Rx, TURI, Green Seal, green shopping sites, etc., and found dozens of products that profess to remove rust stains but I’d prefer to recommend a few I know to be effective. Someone here personally recommended “Bar Keepers Friend,” but I have no idea how environmentally benign it is.

Does anyone know of a product we can recommend?

Thanks
