How to Remove
Rust Stains from Laundry

rust, rust stains on laundry, stain tips, stain removal tips, tips for rust stains How to Remove Rust Spots from Laundry.

If you're seeing these brownish spots on your laundry, there are two possible reasons:

1 You've got iron.

Iron content of more than 0.2 parts per million in your water supply can cause these type of stains; or

2 Your washer drum is corroded in a place you can't see.

If you're sure the drum is shipshape, chances are you've got iron in your water supply.

To keep the iron in your water from ruining any more of your clothing, you'll probably need to invest in a water softener with an iron filter.

Have your washer checked first by an appliance professional to officially rule out any less expensive problem - like a problematic drum.

Until you get this under control, use non-chlorine bleach instead of chlorine bleach - chlorine bleach may cause the iron in the water to settle on your clothes and leave stains.

And if you're interested in reviving any cotton and cotton-blend garments, pick up some Oxalic acid (a mineral blight remover). It'll help remove the stains.
