I generally use 6N hydrochloric acid in the lab. If you don't have a source for that, there's a product called "The Works"...it's a toilet bowl cleaner (accept no substitute...obviously, not any old bowl cleaner will 'work'...), buck and a quarter at Wally-World. I've used it with good results before, but it may need a little soak-time. If you use either of these, rinse well and neutralize with a weak baking soda solution as soon as the rust is dissolved.
