I need to safely remove rust stains on 60's era white GI-Joe jacket. Fabric is sturdy cotton. Jacket is decorated with small metal pieces and I don't want to damage or discolor the metal. Thanks.

If it's washable I would make a paste of the Bar Keepers Friend and use that to clean the stains. It doesn't have to be very wet as it's a paste that works well on the rust. Then you'd just throw it in the wash and wash gently. If it's not washable you can still use it - just contain yourself to the actual stain and use very little water. I've never had it fail to work.

Yellow Out. Excellent product for rust, bleach burns, any yellow stain....works like a charm. Can be purchased at Walmart, Lowes, Ace.

Cut a lemon in half, squeeze the juice on the rust spots and hang or lay in the sun to dry. Should work.

Lemon juice or vinegar will do the job. And if that doesn't work I would try soaking it in hydrogen peroxide until the stain is gone or almost gone then rinsing it with cold water, then washing as usual. May need to repeat the above.
I had rust stains on a pillow and it worked.
