Easy Steps to Remove Rust Stains
By Jessica Stockton
Iron is a material that is strong and sturdy enought to be used in building construction. It is also used to make a variety of useful items and works of art. Iron is durable, malleable and easy to care for so it is no surprise that this material has been used exhaustively. However, over time iron does rust. Although removing rust from iron can be a breeze, removing rust stains on clothes can be a horrendous task. Have you ever had a clean, crisp shirt stained by rust and no matter how much detergent soap you apply it just will not go away? No need to fret! There are easy steps you can follow to remove those stubborn stains off your favorite shirt! Removing rust stains from your clothes does not need to be such a drag. There are basic items you need which can be found in any household. To remove rust stains from any cloth, you will need lemon or lemon juice, table salt, mild dishwashing soap or ammonia. There are also commercial rust removers that you can buy from the store. When using any commercial rust remover products, make sure to follow the exact instructions on the package to eliminate any further damage to the cloth.
To use the household items, place a tablespoon of lemon juice on the stain making sure that the rust stain is completely soaked with the juice. Once this is done, add a little table salt on the spot. Set it aside for twenty-four hours to allow the lemon and salt solution to react with the rust. Continue adding lemon juice if the cloth begins to dry up. However, prior to applying the lemon and salt solution make sure to remove as much of the stain as possible by hand-washing the cloth or item. Do not apply chlorine bleach since this may further the damage. Chlorine reacts strongly with rust and will further intensify the discoloration of the fabric. After twenty-four hours, pat the stain gently to remove excess lemon juice and the rust that has reacted to the solution. Rinse the cloth thoroughly with cold water. If the rust stain remains, repeat the treatment process and wash as usual. If you do not have any lemon or lemon juice handy, you can substitute for it with a quarter of a teaspoon of mild liquid dishwashing soap. Then follow the same steps as the lemon and salt solution. For a stronger solution, use a solution made from two tablespoons of ammonia with four cups of warm water. Then follow the same procedures mentioned above.
These are simple solutions you can do to remove those stubborn rust stains. Once you have tried these steps, you will find yourself with what looks like a brand new shirt or fabric.
