Rust Stains on Clothing
I need to know how to remove rust on white clothing. I have this new shirt and I hung it on a metal hanger instead of on a plastic one after washing it. When it was dry already, I saw some little yellow stains on it. I tried vinegar to remove it, but it didn't work.

Try straight lemon juice and put it out in the sun.

How can you get rust stain out of colored clothes?

RE: Rust Stains on Clothing
Soak the stain in lemon juice and rub gently until the stain disappears. You may have to rub for a minute or more. It may take up to 30 seconds before you start to see the stain disappear but then all of a sudden, it's gone!
I removed a large rust stain from my carpet this way. I used a spoon to sort of scrape at the spot and afterwards I used ordinary salt to soak up the remaining juice and then I just vacuumed. Stain gone!
(PS) If the clothes are coloured, do a test somewhere inconspicuous first! The lemon juice may fade the colours...
