What You Will Need

  • Borax
  • White vinegar
  • A clean cloth
  • Laundry detergent
  • An old toothbrush

Step 1: Make a Paste

Mix together equal parts borax and white vinegar in a small bowl. Then, use an old toothbrush or something similar to apply the paste to rust stain. Rubbing it in gently will help it sink into fibers and break up the stain.

Step 2: Let it Sit

Allow the paste to sit for 15-20 minutes so it has time to work its magic. This will give the acid in vinegar and borax time to penetrate the rust and make it easier to remove.

Step 3: Rinse with Cold Water

Once the paste has had enough time to sit, rub it away with a damp cloth. Then, rinse the area with cold water. Make sure to rinse thoroughly to ensure all of the paste is removed.

Step 4: Wash with Detergent

Finally, use laundry detergent and another cloth to scrub the area. Work in a circular motion and rinse again with cold water until the stain is gone.

Conclusion

Removing rust stains from your seersucker fabric is easy and straightforward. Just mix some borax and white vinegar to make a paste, let it sit, rinse it off, and wash area with detergent. In no time, you'll have your fabric looking as good as new!
