Kool-Aid for rust stains - really!

My son is on a quest to fix up our house.  His cleaning gene comes from his father, definitely not from me.  Bothered by the rust stains on our patio, he found out that kool-aid could be used to remove rust from surfaces.  With just a packet of grape kool-aid and a wet scrub brush, he was able to remove all of the rust from our fake-brick patio steps.  He didn’t even have to scrub that hard.  Not sure why this works, but it does.  Still wouldn’t recommend drinking the stuff though ;-)

Ps.  Be sure to test a small surface first – it did lighten our brick a bit.
