Rust Stains On Jeans

RE: Rust Stains On Jeans Post By Jen (Guest Post) (06/07/2005) from http://www.srfabrics.com/care/stain.htm Rust Any of the methods given below are safe for white fabrics, but test on colored fabrics before use. Lemon Juice - suitable for light stains on delicate fabrics. Spread stain over a bowl of boiling water and sprinkle with lemon juice. After a few minutes, rinse well and repeat if necessary. Lemon Juice and Salt - sprinkle stain with salt, rub with lemon juice and place in sunlight. Keep moist with lemon juice till stain goes. Rinse well. Cream of Tartar - (a powder, available in your grocery store spice section) for extensive staining, boil in a solution of 3 tsp. cream of tartar per cup of water. Rinse well OR if less extensive, dampen stain, spread with cream of tartar, hold in steam from boiling kettle. Rinse immediately stain goes. Do not use on fabrics that cannot be washed in hot water. Hope this helps!

Bonnie RE: Rust Stains On Jeans Post by terdralynn (95) | (06/01/2005) Contact Iron Out powder is an excellent rust remover. Before I got a water softener/rust remover, I used it for every load of whites I did and never had a rust problem (and my water was full of iron). I just added 1/2 cup of powder to a full load of whites and they came out fine.

Mix into a paste with cold water and spread it on the rust stain. Let sit for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with cold water. This product contains oxalic acid, which is great for removing rust stains. Good Luck! RE: Rust Stains On Jeans Post by mckaysatt (50) | (05/31/2005) Contact There is a product from the Rit Dye company that removes rust. I think it's called Rust-out or Rust-remover. It should be in the laundry or cleaning section. I've noticed that a lot of stores have cut down on the variety of Rit products that they carry. You might try searching for a website for Rit to see if you can order the product or see if a store near you has the rust remover.
