My husband is competing in State Games next Sunday and Nationals in 3 1/2 weeks. Rust stains appeared on his uniform, I think from a chair it was hanging on. How do I get them out. It cannot be bleached.

Who knew it works on clothes?
Thanks.

It did a great job. I only let it sit 1-2 minutes and scrubbed with a brush. The smaller spots were almost instantly gone and the huge spots were gone within 5 minutes of scrubbing. The uniform is whiter now then when it was new. Now that is really good.

There is a product called Barkeeper's Friend that does an outstanding job with rust and iron deposits. Just make a paste and rub it into the stain and let it work for 15 minutes and then use a small scrub brush to remove the stain.

One of the oldest ideas for removing rust stains-and one that works the best for me-is to moisten the stain with lemon juice, cover with salt and dry in the sun. Then launder as usual.

Spray shout it out and let it soak for 30 min, spray again wait another 10 min wash with Tide. Use Clorox 2 (safe for colors)
I've gotten rust out before using this method

section. make a paste of it with water and use a tooth brush
to rub it in the rust spot.
