Removing Hard Water Stains from Whites

RE: Removing Hard Water Stains from Whites Post By Nikki (Guest Post) (10/13/2008) I have the same problem hard water. I use "Iron Out" found at Walmart, Kmart, etc. Its around $4.00 for a smaller size bottle. I add about 1/2 a cup to a large size load of whites. Add the iron out first and let the washer run its cycle for a few minutes, then add laundry detergent. Gets whites white again. Caution on using this on colors. It usually makes even old color dyes bleed out onto other fabrics.

White Vinegar works GREAT and cheaply add 1 or 1/2 cup per load.

It may not have the directions on the label but you mix it with hot water and soak your items with the rust on in the solution. Ask at Lowes or Home Depot if you have one where you live Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Hard Water Stains from Whites Post by NanPeg (19) | (11/08/2007) Contact Try using hydrogen peroxide mixed with cream of tartar. This removes rust stains from the tub. Let stand 10 minutes and rinse. Test first on inconspicuous area.

Works on ceramic tile or tub, might work on white clothing! Report Spam or Abuse
