At our last home we had a well with alot of iron in the water and we installed a water softner and used iron removing softening salt. It worked very well. Just don't run out of salt or you are back to the same dingy look that just won't come out of clothes.

My daughter has well water and it has a lot of iron in it. This stains all of her white clothes and makes her colored clothes dull.
