Rust spots tend to blend in very easily with the pattern of gingham, making them difficult to remove without damaging the fabric. Fortunately, there are several easy and effective methods for cleaning rust off gingham safely – all you need is a bit of time and the right supplies.

Steps for Cleaning Rust Stains from Gingham

  1. Wet a soft cloth with warm soapy water and gently rub the rust-stained area of the fabric to loosen up the stain.
  2. Combine 1 tablespoon of white vinegar with one-half cup of salt, then add enough water to make a paste. Apply the paste to the stain and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Rinse the paste off and blot the area lightly with a clean wet rag. If necessary, repeat steps one and two until the stain is gone.
  4. If the stain persists, apply a few drops of lemon juice or rub in some cream of tartar directly onto the spot.
  5. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes and then rinse the area with warm soapy water. Blot area dry with a soft cloth.

And there you have it! With these five simple steps, you’ll be able to get rid of those pesky rust stains on gingham and restore your fabric to its original glory.
