RUST-A-WAY

DESCRIPTION

Specially formulated compound that removes iron, rust, and other contaminants from most materials and surfaces. Ideal for use on tubs, sinks, water heaters, piping, tile, tools, chrome, steel and even white clothes.

THE PROBLEM

Iron is a natural ingredient in most water supplies. It is not noticeable because it is colorless. However, when iron is exposed to air it oxidizes and can form insoluble rust stains. These stains can appear on anything that has contact with water - toilets, water heaters, dish washers, clothes that are washed in water, water softener cleaners, etc.

DIRECTIONS FOR IRON & RUST REMOVER

GLASSWARE, CHINAWARE, PORCELAIN, CHROME, CONCRETE, METAL SURFACES, ETC.: Wet a small area and rub on RUST-A-WAY on the area, moisten and leave for 5 minutes. Repeat several times if necessary. When iron & rust spots have disappeared, rinse surface thoroughly with water.

DISHWASHERS OR WASHING MACHINES:  With machine empty add 1/4 lb. of RUST-A-WAY instead of soap.  Run machine thru normal cycle.  Repeat if necessary.

FABRICS:  Dissolve 1/4 lb. of RUST-A-WAY  in one quart warm water and dip stained portion in solution for a few minutes. Rub lightly and rinse thoroughly.  Always test a small piece of the fabric first, as this treatment may harm or discolor some items.

TOILET BOWLS AND FLUSH TANKS:  Remove any in-tank cleaners and flush.  For toilet bowls add 1/4 lb. of RUST-A-WAY to bowl.   Saturate sides and under rim with toilet brush.  Let stand until stain is gone.  Repeat as needed.  For flush tanks raise water level above stained area. Add 1/4 lb. of RUST-A-WAY.  Let stand over night.  Repeat as needed.

DIRECTIONS FOR WATER SOFTENER CLEANER

Begin by preparing a solution of 1 lb. of RUST-A-WAY in one gallon of warm water in glass or plastic container, then treat per manufacturer's instructions or by the type of softener.

A.	SOFTENER WITH PRESSURE BRINE TANKS - The best time to clean softener is when the brine tank requires refilling with salt.   With the water drained down in the brine tank add the solution to top opening, fill with salt and continue operation as usual.  Regenerate softener.
B.	SOFTENER WITHOUT BRINE TANKS - Regenerate softener as usual, but add solution through opening along with salt.
C.	MANUAL SOFTENERS - Backwash and regenerate with salt as usual.   Add solution and let stand for one hour.  Rinse thoroughly.
D.	AUTOMATIC SOFTENERS - Follow the manufacturer's instructions to regenerate the water softener.  Pour solution into the storage tank brine well and start regeneration cycle immediately.  Allow softener to finish regeneration.
