house pipes & iron oxide -- a 5-cent solution!

For what it's worth, iron oxide (and a number of other oxides), particularly
in solution, run "acidic."

One of the very best things I know of to clean oxides from hands, clothing,
brushes, buckets, and (YES!) even plumbing is ordinary BAKING SODA (cheap!
cheap!).

Try it -- you'll like it!
