- Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2025Wow, a mystery formula wonder chemical that ACTUALLY WORKS AS ADVERTISED!!
I LOVE THIS STUFF. Its nice to work with, no burns, no fumes, no problems. Reuseable several times.
You fill a container close to the size and shape of rusty metal object or tool with the liquid and drop your tool in and let it sit a day or two, pull it out and VOILA, its magical, rust is all gone, left with a clean light greyed metal, rinse with water, (safe for environment and drains), wipe with tool oil. Light wire brushing of heavy rusted areas might be required.
This is a soak solution, probably want to buy the gallon size for coverage in larger containers, the object must be submerged in solution. I bought the quart first to try it being skeptical of miracle liquid solutions and i was blown away by how well it worked so i bought a gallon now. Skip the quart if you have more than a few small items to clean, trust me it works.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2025Great product, great results! Used the solution on several different items that were showing various rust problems. Light surface rust was gone in minutes, deeper rust required over night exposure. Some items required a light a rubbing to dislodge residue. A little scrubbing produced a good finish.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2025Works well, depending on the rust level. Easy to use and I like that it can be used again and again.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2024This chemical is amazing for removing rust. I had a terrible situation where I had stored chlorine shock packets in my garage, and didn't realize the plastic bags containing the shock powder had degraded to the point that the chlorine was out-gassing in my garage, creating a hyper-oxidizing environment, which subsequently rusted a significant quantity of my hand tools, of which I have an extensive collection. Unfortunately, I had originally thought the issue was due to simple humidity levels, and had INCREASED air circulation in the garage space, serving only to make the problem worse, as it accelerated the spread of the chlorine vapors.
This product has been an amazing tool for removing this rust from my hand tools. It's been a fair bit of work, but this stuff really works. No hard work scrubbing or scraping or brushing. Just soak, rinse, protect, and go! The rinse and protect steps are VITAL. I made the mistake of forgetting and letting some batches soak for a couple WEEKS. Don't do that. A black sludge was generated which hardened and was actually hard to remove from the tools. I had to use more of this product to help dissolve this hardened sludge, and it turned those tools a black color. So, don't do THAT. As long as you take them out of the soaking fluid according to the instructions, it works GREAT! And, once you rinse the tools, IMMEDIATELY coat them with your favorite rust preventative. Your tools' original rust preventative, whether chrome or otherwise, is GONE. You MUST apply something new that will adhere well. Paint, oil, or even WD-40. Coat the tools or you will see rust on them again in short order.
GREAT PRODUCT! Safe to use! Easy to use if you follow the instructions! Pay attention to the instructions, and I bet you'll see the great results I saw when I used it properly :)
- Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2017Originally I bought a 3.5 gallon bucket of this stuff to de-rust in the inside of my motorcycle tank. The website says to wash any grease/oil and dirt. off of the parts you're going to soak, but after draining the gas from my tank and letting it sit for a day, I forgot to wash the tank out. I filled the tank with Evapo-rust and let it sit for approximately 24 hours and when I checked it it hadn't done anything.
I contacted the manufacturer via their website contact form and received a reply that any amount of gasoline would screw up the Ph and cause evapo-rust not to work properly. So that was around $60 down the drain since it apparently ruins the product. It doesn't mention this in the directions I'd read on the website. This time around I soaked it with dish soap 3 times, rinsing it out 3 or 4 times after each soak. I'll update this review once I see how it works this time.
**UPDATE**
Ok, so I've had my tank soaking for one week and one day and this stuff is doing the job. It's taking awhile, but one of the reasons I decided to go with this stuff was that it only eats the rust and will not affect the metal. I didn't want to have to babysit my tank through the rust removal processes, so being able to forget about it for a couple of days was ideal for me. I think it probably would have worked faster had I drained the product, rinsed the tank, and replaced the product every day. The instructions tell you you may need to rinse your part and resoak to remove a film that might prevent further penetration into the rust.
The instructions indicate that heavy rust might need at least an over night soaking, and while I didn't think mine would be considered "heavy" rust, it certainly wasn't light rust. Now that the rust is pretty much gone, there's pretty decent pitting in the metal in there. I wound up buying another gallon locally (total 3 gallons) because I have no way of telling if all the rust is removed aside from what I can see through the filler hole. I would recommend getting enough of this product that will at least mostly fill your tank to minimize how many different positions you have to leave the tank setting. I really want to find something heavily rusted that I can drop into the solution so I can better see the progress. That and it's a bit of a pain draining it out of the tank, rinsing it out thoroughly, and then pouring the product back in.
I also filtered the product through a t-shirt each time I drained it out of the tank to remove the little bits of rust that came out. This stuff definitely does a good job and it's safe to use and won't eat anything but the rust. I wasn't concerned about this because I'm getting a dent fixed and getting it repainted, but it doesn't appear to harm the paint at all. I have spilled this stuff a decent amount though this process and aside from making your hands a little sticky, it's easy to work with. If you're in a hurry this might not be the product for you unless your dealing with really light rust, but if you're like me and want something that you can "set and forget" it will work for you. I waited until winter so I wouldn't have to go without riding my bike for the repairs, so this was a perfect solution for me.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2025I placed a couple dozen rusty bolts and nuts in a plastic bowl and immersed them with this rust remover solution. 24 hours later all the rust was lying at the bottom of the bowl and the bolts and nuts looked nearly new.
The used product can be poured back into the original container. I used a strainer like those used to strain cooking oil (~$10 on Amazon) to keep the rust residue out of the container. Afterward, the strainer cleaned up perfectly with dish detergent.
The chemistry of this product is amazing!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2025Removes rust easily. I brushed the compound on the rusted floor pan of my old truck and kept rebrushing a few times over a 24 hour period. It worked great. Easy cleanup

もなかReviewed in Japan on January 12, 20195.0 out of 5 stars 高いけど超落ちます
国内品色々試してましたが、綺麗に錆びが落ち切らず何度も漬け置きしたり、酸・アルカリの刺激臭・異臭がしたり、
直接触れない物だったりと扱いが面倒なの上に、錆びが落とし切れず結局後で散々研磨したりしていました。
Evapo-RustははYoutubeのHand Tool Rescueという古い工具をレストアするチャンネルで使用されており、綺麗に錆
が落ちていたので試しに購入してみました。赤鯖だらけになったネジやに黒錆になっているドライバやニッパとかの工
具を試して見ましたが数時間~二晩漬け置きしておけば殆ど錆が落ちます。動画で見た通りの使用感でした。
酷い錆は錆びてた箇所に若干シミが残りますがワイヤーブラシで磨けば落ちる程度だったので試してはいませんが漬け
て置く時間をもっと延ばせば落ちるような気がします。
液は酸やアルカリを含まないので素手で触れても大丈夫です。匂いはちょっと癖のある薬品臭がしますが私はそれ程嫌
な臭いには感じませんでした。同社のジェルタイプも同時購入して使用しましたがこっちの方は液体の匂いを濃縮した
ようなキツイ匂いです。ジェルタイプはアルミの錆にも使えるのと大きくて漬け置き出来ない物や垂直面に塗っても垂れにくく、効果は液体タイプと遜色ありませんでした。
液体・ジェルタイプどちらも水洗いしただけでは金属光沢までは蘇らず表面にうっすらとくすんだ膜みたいな物が形成
されているので、水洗いして乾燥させた後にワイヤーブラシ等で軽く磨いてやる必要はあります。
漬け置き後に水洗いしなければくすんだ膜が防錆剤としての効果を維持してくれる様です。
ルーターに真鍮製のブリストルブラシやカップブラシを付けて軽く磨く程度で楽に金属光沢が出てきます。
値段は高めですが一回使用の使い切りでは無く、錆落としの効果が無くなるまで繰り返し使用が可能なのでトータルで
見ればコスパは良いと思います。
大き目のジャムの空き瓶に小分けして繰り返し使用してます。使用する度に液はだんだん錆び色に濃く染まりますが、
数回程度使用した位では効果が薄れたような感じは全くありませんでした。
ex_tractorfanReviewed in the United Kingdom on April 15, 20205.0 out of 5 stars This stuff is AMAZING......Magical even.
I do a lot of work with bikes, and often come across lots or rusty bolts, cassettes, chains, derallieurs etc.
This stuff works wonders.
It doesn't do 100% of all my goods, but i'd say about 98% comes out great, sometimes depending on the metal, it turns it black. But if its chrome, its brilliant.
Its happened on a couple of chains, turned the links black, but on some silver chains it's fine.
I recently did some files which again worked great but they turned black, but who cares, they are files, and do the job whatever colour they are.
Would I say worth the money?.......All day long.
5 litres of this stuff is likely to last me a lifetime, and its apparently Eco friendly.
I'm off to try some drill bits now.
SnoodleReviewed in Australia on March 23, 20225.0 out of 5 stars Amazing and Effective
We’ve been using this to clean up some old rusty tools and hardware on furniture (screws, handles, etc.), and I’m so impressed! The fact that you can reuse it, is a major bonus. Ordered from Australia, and would definitely do so again. Best de-rusting product I’ve found yet.
