Removing Rust From a Baby Blanket

I've had my baby blanket for about 20yrs or so and it now has rust on it in different spots. I would like to no if anyone has any ideas on how I would go about removing it.

Thank You very much for the responses. I am very excited to try them out and hopefully I can get the rust out easily.

One of the best products I have used is a cleanser called Bar Keeper's Friend - found in most grocery stores. Just make a paste with the powder and water and apply it to the spots, let sit for about l5 minutes, then rinse with cold water and launder.

There is a product called Whink, sold in a small rust-colored squeze bottle on the detergent aisle of the store. It's excellent! I've also heard that dabbing or squirting lemon juice on the spots and then hanging in the sun can work.

There are a number of rust removers on the market. Look in the cleaners section of your supermarket. They will lighten colors if fabric is not colorfast. I use Iron Out.
