Yes, it works - put a layers of paper towels and satured lemon juice and put in sun - in two/three hours rust was gone!

No, this doesn't work that great, especially if you can't put it in the sun. What worked for me more effectively is to pour some straight laundry detergent right on the rust stain. Then use your fingernail to scrub it out.The rust comes out so easily. But of course, if you have a large area of rust on your fabric, then doing what it says above would be better.

For heavens sake don't mess with hydrofluoric acid. It is extremely dangerous,can eat right through your skin to the bone and requires special chemicals to counteract its' affects. Retired Chemist

Try three drops of diluted hydrofluoric acid to remove rust stain of any fabric in seconds....(please wet the area where the stain is on the fabric before using) :) this will workout 100% :)

Cant wait to see if this works! Somehow I managed to get rust stains on two of my favorite pairs of shorts. I've lemon juiced them up - based on the instructions and they're sitting out in the hot arizona sun now!

Karen - thank you! i had Barkeepers Friend in the house so I tried it on a favorite white designer blouse that i dry clean because it has delicate embroidery. I made a paste with the cleanser & water & rubbed the paste gently into the stain, put a paper towel underneath. In a few hours the rust stain was completely gone, I just rinsed the spot with water & let dry.

600 ml boiling water and 4 t. cream of tartar on fabric that can be washed in hot water, works very well.

I had a towel that had held rust stains for several years that I tried to remove with Shout, bleach, the usual suspects, but nothing worked. I couldn't believe it when I first tried the lemon juice-in-the-sun-technique: they had disappeared in a few hours. It really does work.

There is a product called Whink rust stain remover. You can buy it some of the smaller hardware stores, or request some from your local hardware store (I've looked at places like Home Depot but was not able to find it there). It costs about $4 and it works like a miracle. I had a rust stain on a white shirt that sat for over 2 years, and when I applied the Whink, the stain literally disappeared before my eyes. Just apply it to the stained area and wash as normal.

Cover rust spot with fresh lemon juice. Rub in table salt. Place garment in full sun. When salt and lemon juice have dried thoroughly, wash garment as usual. This combination of lemon juice and salt can be corrosive, so wash promptly. This worked on a tie-dyed shirt without bleaching the color.

Y SANO Appliance cleaner, which contains Oxalic acid, worked beautifully on a colored cotton shirt after I tried everything else.

Commercial grade dishwashing detergent. Apply it with a brush and the stains will disappear before your eyes - no scrubbing needed!
