Treat delicate fabrics with toothpaste, glycerin. In difficult situations, it is worth resorting to the use of ready-made rust removers: bleach, bath and toilet cleaners.

Rusty stains on clothes, linen, upholstery are considered one of the most difficult to remove.

But you can fix the problem and restore the damaged look of a jacket, shirt or towels if you know how and how to remove rust from clothes without harming the fabric.

Features of removing rust from fabric

Rusty traces remain on clothes due to the oxidation of metal fittings: rivets, buttons, buttons, zippers, chains, as well as direct contact with rusted surfaces of iron radiators, pipes, children's swings, benches.

Definitely, fresh marks on a shirt, shorts, trousers are easier to remove than old and firmly ingrained ones. But in order not to worsen the situation and save the thing, you need to follow a few simple rules:

It is forbidden to wash and soak clothes with traces of rust - the oxide, upon contact with water, spreads along the fibers of the fabric, increasing the area of contamination.
Before cleaning, if possible, remove metal fittings from clothing so that the aggressive substances used do not aggravate the situation.
Be sure to test the cleaners you use on inconspicuous areas to protect the fabric from discoloration and deterioration.
Treat the red stain according to the principle "from the edges to the center" - this will prevent the spread of rust.

Acid ingredients are used in combination with alkalis.

Advice! When working with aggressive acids, be sure to wear gloves to prevent burns to your hands, and also open windows or turn on a hood.

Solvents, which are usually used for washing, or in this case are powerless. The usual powders, detergents, baby, washing or laundry soap will not help either. Therefore, you should not even experiment with such cleaners to wash off rusty stains from the fabric.

Removing rust marks from various fabrics

The main condition for effective and safe cleaning of outerwear or linen from rust is the right remedy: folk or chemical. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account both the type of fabric and the color, the presence of metal accessories on a T-shirt, dress or jacket. Therefore, we will consider how to remove rust, for each case in more detail.

How to remove stains from natural fabrics

It is much easier to work with cotton, linen, viscose and other natural fabrics than with delicate ones, since they can be exposed to aggressive acids without fear that they will completely ruin towels, bed linen or a T-shirt, medical gown.

If you have to wash off traces of corrosion from a white sheet, kitchen towel, use a regular Whiteness type bleach with chlorine.

But bleaching will only help remove fresh rust - to clean stubborn dirt, it is better to use ready-made metal oxide removers or acid treatment with alkaline neutralization.

To avoid having to think about how to remove the stain later, follow these tips:

Remove all metal from clothing before washing.
If there are non-removable metal elements on the clothes, they must be treated with nail polish before washing.
Do not dry clothes on pipes or radiators. You spoil both clothes and the battery itself.
Check for rust on buttons or other elements after drying. This causes them to rust.
After drying the clothes, dry the metal parts on the clothes separately with a hair dryer. So, the moisture will definitely be removed and they will not rust.

Remove the rust stain while it is fresh, as it will be more difficult later. If you react in time, it will be easier for you. Remember to wear rubber gloves, most rust removers are harmful to the skin of the hands.
If the stain is old and stubborn, it is unlikely that it will be possible to remove it in one way. Most likely, you will have to use several methods, in turn. If the fabric is delicate or thin, do not experiment on it. There is a high chance of ruining it. Contact the dry cleaners, the professionals will do everything right.
Outerwear must first be cleaned of dust and dirt, and then from rust.
Use acid rust removers, acid causes rust to disintegrate.
Test all products first on a small, inconspicuous area of \u200b\u200bthe clothing. Otherwise, something may go wrong, and you will ruin it.
