When a metal object remains in contact with water for too long, an orange substance appears. It is iron oxide, commonly called “rust”, a coloring product that is very difficult to clean. Here are some inexpensive suggestions for removing rust stains from surfaces and textiles.

Removing rust from clothes is not easy. These stains are generated when a damp garment comes into contact with a rusty object or surface. Although sometimes it seems impossible to remove the rust stain, there are methods that allow us to make the garment look like new.
Mix a tablespoon of baking soda with the juice of a lemon and apply to the stain for a few hours. Rinse the garment in lukewarm water and let it dry.
Alternatively, you can use vinegar by applying a small amount to the stain and then covering it with salt. Let the garment dry in the sun and after a few hours rinse and wash the garment.
Dish soap can also be useful for this purpose: pour a teaspoon on the stain, leave for a few hours, then rinse with cold water
