STEP 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you start cleaning, make sure you have everything you need. You will need white vinegar, lemon juice, a soft cloth, hydrogen peroxide, and a non-abrasive scrubber or sponges.

STEP 2: Soak the Fabric

Create a soaking solution by mixing together equal parts of white vinegar and lemon juice in a bowl. Soak the fabric item with rust stain in this solution for about 15 minutes.

STEP 3: Scrub the Stain

Remove the soaked fabric item from the bowl and lay it out on a flat surface. Take your non-abrasive scrubber or sponge and dip it into the hydrogen peroxide. Gently scrub the area with rust stain using the scrubber/sponge and the hydrogen peroxide until the stain is completely gone.

STEP 4: Rinse the Fabric

Once you have finished scrubbing the fabric, rinse it off in cold water. This will help remove any traces of the vinegar and lemon juice mixture.

STEP 5: Air-Dry Fabric

Lay the fabric item on a flat surface and allow it to air dry. Once it is completely dry, your fabric will be free of rust stains!
