Clothes, upholstery, and carpets may become rusted. This type of stain requires the use of several steps to remove it, as follows.
One of the solutions sprinkle salt on the rust spot, before covering it with a towel saturated with vinegar
Wet a cloth towel with white vinegar, and wring it out.
Salt is sprinkled over the rust spot, before covering it with a towel soaked in vinegar, with the latter placed for 30 minutes, before examining the stain again. Repeat the step, until the spot is completely gone. Vacuum the carpet or piece of furniture, with a vacuum cleaner.
If the stain stays in place, it may help to try a commercial rust remover.
It is not recommended to use chlorine bleach, because the latter oxidizes rust more.
In the case of upholstery fabrics or non-washable clothing, it may be appropriate to mix lemon juice with salt to make a thick mixture, and the latter is tested in an inconspicuous area.
If non-washable tissues are stained with rust, it may be appropriate to mix lemon juice with salt to make a thick mixture.
If the two components interact well, the stain can be treated by placing the mixture on it, under the sun's rays, while repeatedly wetting the spot with lemon juice, until the stain is completely gone. Then, the residual salt is disposed of.
1. The sooner one deals with the stain, the more likely it is to remove it.
2. Before using the cleaning solution, it is useful to test it on an inconspicuous part of the garment, such as the inner part, to ensure that it does not spoil the fabric.
3. The cleaning solution must be rinsed with water, before trying another solution, as the types of chemicals are not supposed to mix with each other.
