Rust stains can be troublesome and tough to remove from scrubs. Rust is iron oxide, which forms when iron or steel corrodes. It is a porous substance that can penetrate deep into fabric fibers, so it takes some effort to remove it. Thankfully, there are a few simple methods you can use to get rid of rust stains on scrubs.
This is one of the easiest methods for removing rust stains from scrubs. You will need lemon juice and salt for this method.
Vinegar has natural acidity and can help break down rust stains. This method works best with white scrubs.
Baking soda is a mild abrasive that can help remove rust stains from fabric. This method works best with dark colored scrubs.
If your scrubs are labelled as “rust resistant”, then hang them outdoors to dry after laundering instead of machine drying them. This will help prevent future rust stains.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
