Answers:
Removing Rust From Clothing is Easy
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.
Good Luck!...:)

Whink. But be sure to rinse well.
Fabrics
If you have rust stains on fabric try using vinegar or lemon juice and salt on the stain. This can help to lighten rust stains and then use an oxi-wash on the fabric. Be sure to check before drying that the stain is gone. It is harder to remove a stain from dried fabrics than wet ones.

If vinegar or lemon juice doesn't work try using a stonger commercial rust remover such as CLR or a rust stain remover. Apply to the area with a small toothbrush.

No matter what product you use on fabric, be sure to test it first on a small area of the fabric. Some of these products will damage colored fabrics.
