Cleaning rust off an asphalt roof

04/24/1999 08:36 AM

An old TV antenna has rusted and left a rust stain on a light gray asphalt roof. Any suggestions on how to remove the stain without replacing the roof?

I know oxalic acid removes some rust from concrete, but I have no idea how it will react to asphalt shingles. If you can find some old shingles somewhere, make it rust and try it to see what happens. Be sure to rinse thoroughly........

Buy some CLR from your local hardware shop.
Just follow the directions.
I'm a roofer. By the way.
Good luck...
