What can be used in washing a cloth that has been steined by a rusted irons?

My expensive clothes hsa been.........What can be used in washing a cloth that has been steined by a rusted irons?
The only way to remove iron stains is with a solution of oxalic acid in water (try about 5% at first) The only problem with this is that oxalic acid is very poisonous and has to be treated with great care but it does wash out with water. You could also try a little household bleach but it will only work on the lightest of iron stains.What can be used in washing a cloth that has been steined by a rusted irons?
In my experienced, nothing
try peroxide. it gets out blood and that red stain is iron.. so worth a try.

My washing machine ';Barrel'; or Tub, is rusting (the small holes), is there a type of paint or some product I could apply to stop or slow this down? It is a metal barrel (drum), tub.


Thanks in advance.My washing machine tub or ';barrel';, is rusting around the small holes, ?
I had the same problem. I spoke to the people at Home Depot and they suggested a product called Iron Out. I ran some through my empty washer and it cleared it out. (Make sure to run an extra cycle after wards.) To prevent the problem, leave the washing machine open to allow it to dry out and don't leave wet clothes in it for too long.





Now that I think about it, I haven't had the problem return since I began making my own laundry soap - wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Do you have hard water??





When I put salt in my water softener, I use the rust remover salt by Morton. It saves rust and yellowing everywhere in my house.





I wouldn't live without it.

    For crying out loud, I have never heard of silver plated flatwear rusting in a dishwasher. You might try Tarn Away, it's for cleaning tarnished silver and copper.I just washed silver plated flatware in the dishwasher and it rusted.(oops :( ) Can I fix it? Thanks!?
    If it's tarnished, use a half lemon with salt on it. Rub it on to the silver and it'll be as good as new.

    How do you get rust out of a washing machine?

    you most likely have a porcelin coated washer and the porcelin has chipped off. in your case if it has chipped off there is not much you can do at this point. you can use clr or lime away to help prevent it from rusting but most likely the rust spot will come back.





    most washers are only made to last for up to 12 years. this is why alot of washers rust with porcelin coating because the porcelin is not that heavily applied when making the washer.





    if it is bothering you and you are in the market for a new washer i would recommend getting a washer with a stainless steel tub. all front loaders come with stainless steel tubs as well as some higher end top loaders.





    lg makes stainless steel dryers too.How do you get rust out of a washing machine?
    Try using a rust converter.There is a product called Neutra Rust. Check out the website http://www.neutrarust.com/How do you get rust out of a washing machine?
    try running it with lime away or clr in it that should do it...

  • Washing machine lid is rusting?

    I have a kenmore washing machine and the lid has a lot of rust on the inside lip. My other washing machine did the same thing.





    Am I doing something wrong to cause it to rust like this?





    We have very hard water.Washing machine lid is rusting?
    The only thing wrong was to bye another SEARS productWashing machine lid is rusting?
    Washing machines will have either an enamel lid, or a porcelain coated lid...The pocelain is much stonger and won't chip off like the enamel..Yours is probably enamel.
    Having hard water turns stuff orange. I grew up with that. Orange stains everywhere.


    Try leaving your washer lid open when you're not using it so it won't stay wet, and then the metal won't rust. If the rust comes from the water, like a rust stain, there's not much you can do about it.
    go and get clr use clr to remove all rust stains, after removing all rust stains, make a habit of cleaning inside lid,outside and cracks with vinegar and water solution on a weekly basis,
    Sand it down with sandpaper and paint with a rustolium paint product for metal.
