Not a big spot but annoys me. Think it is in there really good. Any ideas on how to remove short of redoing the whole floor?

Try making a poultice (paste of Barkeepers Friend powdered cleanser and water), apply to the rust area, cover with some plastic wrap and tape down the edges with freezer/blue painters tape. Leave overnight. Next day, gently wipe it up, rubbing a bit as you go. I’ve used this method to get rust out of my white marble countertops, and terrazzo is made of marble chips set in concrete, isn’t it?

I'd be real careful with CLR. That could eat that terrazzo I bet.

Clr is a good idea for sure. Also I hate all things Goof Off but their rust remover used for removing iron stains from sprinkler well water works incredibly. You could just put it on a small sponge or paint brush the area. I’m sure it’s an acid so I’m not sure what exactly your floor is so obviously you’d have to be careful.
