It is at this point you should consider utilizing a commercially available rust removal product. Make sure though that the rust remover you will be using has no hazardous chemical ingredients.

You can also try using vinegar, another organic alternative, to clean rust stain from concrete wall and metal items. Just follow the same procedure as you did with the lemon juice.
