What You'll Need
- Bowl of warm water
- Liquid laundry detergent
- White vinegar
- Soft brush
Step 1: Test for Colorfastness
The first step is to test if your Ann Taylor garment is colorfast. Dab a small amount of liquid laundry detergent on fabric. If the fabric’s color begins to fade or run, then it is not colorfast and should not be washed.
Step 2: Dampen Stain
Soak a soft brush in bowl of warm water and lightly dampen the rust stain. Do not scrub the fabric as this could cause the stain to set further into the garment.
Step 3: Apply Laundry Detergent
Apply a teaspoon of liquid laundry detergent directly to the stain, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. This will help soften and loosen rust stains, making them easier to remove.
Step 4: Rinse with Vinegar
Rinse the fabric with vinegar to help neutralize the stain. This will also help prevent any remaining rust particles from sticking to the fabric.
Step 5: Wash Garment
Finally, you can wash the garment according to the care instructions on the tag. If possible, wash item separately from other clothes as the stains can bleed onto other fabric.
Conclusion
By following these five easy steps, you can quickly and safely remove rust stains from all your Ann Taylor items. With the right technique, you can keep your favorite clothing looking new and stain-free.
