What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this rust remover for its effectiveness on light to moderate rust, with most reporting quick, easy results that meet or exceed expectations. Many highlight dramatic transformations on tools, bike parts, and household items with minimal effort required. Reviewers consistently commend its ease of application, noting it is odorless and requires no special tools. However, customers note it struggles with heavy, baked-on, or pitted rust, often requiring additional scrubbing or mechanical intervention. A small group report it failed entirely, and a few mention container seal issues. Despite these limitations, most consider it reliable for typical household rust removal.

Great product
Would RecommendThis product really worked well. I had a coal stove with significant rust. After one application, the rust was mostly removed, and I finished up with a wire brush.

Dissolves rust
Would RecommendThey dissolved a lot of rust from some rusty components I had, and the solution doesn't smell that bad. I do wish it wasn't hazardous waste but I appreciate the efficacy.
Impressive Results
Impressive Results- My only criticism is the jell became a sort of semi-hard coat of paste if left unattended too long.

removed rust

Not bad for alternative choice
Would RecommendSeems like it could be stronger. Jelly is nice when you need a thicker, dripless application, although formula is still thin. I use paper towels to hold the product to my projects. This doesn't seem to work immediately, prob have to let it sit overnight. When this is your only option, it's not bad, but I'd prefer some other brands before this one.

Thank you, Kryssie, for sharing your experience with Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Rust Dissolver Jelly. Please note we do not recommend leaving Rust Dissolv...

It’s simple to use and it works!
Would RecommendI bought this to remove a moderate amount of rust from a rock hammer. It worked to my satisfaction and the hammer looks better. Since I have not used any other brand of rust remover, I can’t say that Rust-Oleum rust remover is the absolute best product for removing rust but I am happy with the results of my project.
