AGAR Rustex Rust Stain Remover 500ml is a specialist acidic treatment designed to remove rust and certain blood stains from compatible carpets, fabrics and hard surfaces. It can also remove hard-water scale from glass. This non-foaming, non-flammable formula requires strict handling precautions because it contains hydrofluoric acid.

CLEANING CARTS AND TROLLEYSRust marks can develop when metal furniture, equipment or other rusted objects come into contact with carpets and hard surfaces. These orange-brown stains can be difficult to remove using ordinary cleaning detergents. AGAR Rustex Rust Stain Remover 500ml is a specialist acidic treatment formulated to dissolve rust deposits, helping release stubborn staining so it can be rinsed away from suitable surfaces.
Rustex works by dissolving the iron hydroxide salts present in rust. This chemical action helps free the staining from the affected surface, making Rustex a useful specialist product for professional cleaning and stain-removal tasks where conventional detergents may not be suitable. It can also remove rust from compatible metal surfaces.
In addition to rust, AGAR identifies Rustex as a treatment for certain blood stains. The product dissolves the iron salts associated with blood staining, helping address marks that may reappear after standard cleaning. This makes it a useful option for trained cleaning professionals dealing with persistent staining on compatible fabrics and carpets.
Rustex has applications beyond carpet cleaning. AGAR specifies its use on carpets, some fabrics, windows, stainless steel and vinyl floors, provided the surface is not harmed by acid. It can also dissolve insoluble calcium salts and hard-water scale from glass, helping remove mineral deposits and restore surface clarity.
The product is supplied as a transparent, colourless liquid with a pungent acid odour and a pH of 1.0–2.0. Its acidic chemistry is responsible for dissolving rust deposits and mineral scale. Rustex is also described by AGAR as non-foaming and non-flammable.
Rustex must not be used on marble, terrazzo, aluminium, copper or brass, because these materials may be damaged by acid. AGAR recommends testing the product on an inconspicuous area first. The manufacturer’s application instructions also require rubber gloves and eye protection and warn against allowing Rustex to contact skin.
