Start by wetting the affected area with lukewarm water, then squeeze a few drops of lemon juice onto the fabric. Gently massage the juice into the fabric with your fingertips, then rinse the area with cold water and hang the clothing to dry.
After the garment has dried, fill a spray bottle with white vinegar. Spray the stain, wait 10 minutes, then dab the area with a damp cloth. If the stain has not disappeared, repeat this process until it does.
If the stain has still not been removed, apply a paste of baking soda and water to the area and let it sit for an hour. Then, wipe off paste and throw the clothing in wash. Sun-dry the garment and inspect for any remaining stain.
Rust stains on fabric don't have to be permanent. Using these simple steps, you can safely remove rust from Oxford and get back to wearing your favorite garments.
