Answer 1

The best way to get rust stains out of your clothing is to use a lemon, or table salt and cream of tarter.

Lemon

•To use a lemon, lay your garment on a flat surface on top of a towel.

•Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the rust stain. (If you do not have a lemon, you can use bottled lemon juice, it works just as well.)

•Lay your garment in the sun and allow it to dry.

•Once your garment has dried, look to see if the rust stain has lifted. If it has not, repeat the process.
•If the rust stain is removed, launder your garment.

Salt and Cream of Tarter

•To use salt and cream of tarter, simply make a mixture using equal parts of both.

•Lay your garment on a flat surface on top of a towel.

•Spread your cream of tarter and salt mixture onto the rust stain.

•Place your garment in the sun and allow it to dry.

•If the rust stain has lifted, launder the shirt.

•If the rust stain has not lifted, repeat the process.

1
Step one
Lay the rust-stained fabric over several white paper towels, which will act as a blotter and absorb the rust.
2
Step Two
Cut a lemon in half and saturate the stain with the fresh lemon juice. (Bottled lemon juice will work, too.)
3
Step Three
Set the fabric (with the paper towel blotter beneath) out in the sun to dry. The rust stain will disappear.
4
Step Four
Launder as usual.

Answer 4

Try rhubarb! Just cut the end of some fresh rhubarb, and rub onto the stain, leave for about 20 mins, and if the stain is stubborn, try again. If you can, put out in the sun for a little while. It works I promise
