What You'll Need
- Damp cloth
- Mild soap
- Distilled white vinegar
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Baking soda
- Cleaning brush
Step 1: Pre-Treat Stains
Begin by brushing away any loose particles of rust from the fabric using a brush or a soft cloth. If stain is fresh, place the fabric over a bowl or sink and rinse fabric with cold water. This will prevent the stain from setting.
Step 2: Soak the Fabric
Create a mixture of mild soap and cold water, and submerge the fabric in it for 10 to 15 minutes. This will help loosen the stain. After soaking, rinse the fabric gently with cold water and then blot to dry with a clean towel.
Step 3: Rinse with Vinegar and Peroxide
Mix a solution of equal parts distilled white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. Put the fabric in this solution and allow it to soak for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterward, rinse the fabric well with cold water and blot dry.
Step 4: Treat Remaining Stains
If there are still rust stains on the fabric, make a paste of baking soda and a small amount of water. Spread the paste over the stained area and allow it to sit for 10 minutes. Then brush paste off the fabric with a cleaning brush and rinse the fabric with cold water. If the stains remain, repeat steps 2 and 3 until the stains are gone.
