Rust stains can be tricky to remove, but there are some steps you can take to get your tie looking brand new again. Here are three easy methods for removing rust stains from your necktie:

  • Using a lemon and salt solution: Mix together equal parts fresh lemon juice and salt to create a paste-like substance. Apply the mixture to the rust stain and let it sit for approximately 10 minutes before rinsing and washing as usual.
  • Using baking soda and water: Combine baking soda and water to form a thick paste. Apply the paste to the stain and let it sit for about 15 minutes before brushing it away with a soft-bristled brush. Once the stain has been removed, launder the fabric as usual.
  • Using vinegar and water: Mix together equal parts white vinegar and water, then apply solution directly onto the stain with a clean cloth or sponge. Let the mixture sit on the stain for about 30 minutes before washing it in cold water.

By following these steps, you can effectively get rid of rust stains and restore your necktie to its former glory.
