How can I get rust marks from a carpet?

Question

My son left a metal tool box on a carpet for quite some time, now I`m left with quite a rusty area of carpet.
Does anyone know of a magic potion, please.

Answer 1

It's best to act immediately upon seeing the stain. To remove carpet stains caused by rust, it's best to use an acid-based cleaner. Vinegar and lemon juice work well for this task because they're both contain acids. A cleaner containing oxalic acid will also work at cleaning carpet stains such as rust.:)

Answer 2

Take off as much as you can with your usual carpet cleaner and leave to dry, then use lemon juice neat, but you'll probably need to repeat doing it. Pour it over the rust and let it dry, you'll see it fade slowly.

Answer 3

hydroflouric acid. Its a rust remover for carpets. You can by it anywhere that sells carpet cleaning supplies. Ussually labeled as rust remover.

Answer 4
