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 tub or ';barrel';, is rusting around the small holes, ?
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.

I just washed silver plated flatware in the dishwasher and it rusted.(oops :( ) Can I fix it? Thanks!?
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.

I have a Maytag Proforma washing machine with some rusted bolts. are they an issue.?
i took off the center cap, and unscrewed the center bolt. I took out all the plastic agitators. underneath, there was ton of scum i cleaned out. but there was 4 heavily rusted bolts there. are they a problem? also, should I try to take them out and replace them?I have a Maytag Proforma washing machine with some rusted bolts. are they an issue.?
Is the machine operating properly at the present time? Are there any other related problems? i.e. malfunctioning agitator.
They may be rusted to the point where it may be very difficult to remove them anyway.
Depending on the particular clamp up, there may also be a nut on the other end.
If there is only surface rusts on the heads, you may be wasting your time. Unless these are critical bolts, it wouldn't be worth your time or effort.I have a Maytag Proforma washing machine with some rusted bolts. are they an issue.?

My white washing keeps coming out with rust coloured orange on it? help!?
This happened with my old machine, and when we got a new one, I thought the problem would go. It will only affect maybe one item out of the whole wash (not always the same one) and I keep anything that isn't wight or beige out of the wash. So there is no way it has run off another item.
The colour is a specific rust orange and just in random specs almost. It won't wash out either, no matter what I use on it.
Please any advice? I don't want to wash anything else white in case it gets ruined!My white washing keeps coming out with rust coloured orange on it? help!?
This is just a thought...it might have nothing to do with your problem
But it sounds to me that it is something with your water or the plumbing.
And this might seem a little odd but are you on city water or a water well??? If you are on City water then the water pipes might be rusted. That of course would require a plumber to fix. If you are on a well then you have ';hard'; water .. You can get a water softener and then of course changing the filters helps to (with well water). We used to live in the boonies and we couldn't get city water. Hope this helps!My white washing keeps coming out with rust coloured orange on it? help!?
There's a great old fashioned product on the market it's called WINK and it comes in a small brown rust colored bottles.. It will in most cases take out the rust particles from you clothing.. Just follow the manufacture's instructions... A small bottle will probably last you and eternity! It's available at most food and drug stores nationwide.. !
good luck
Sounds like you have a lot of iron in your water. My daughter has the same problem. She has a well. You didn't say if you had a well or was on public water. You will have to put in a filter system to take out the iron. Hope this helps.
if your machine is new, then it narrows down to water condition, plumbing issue or even the age the house.. if you can get those out of the equation the problem should emerges... good luck

I want to replace the washing machine outlet box...the one I have is rusted through?
I have a plastic one to replace it. Should I replace the valves while I am at this? Do I have to dig into the drywall to replace the box. The valves seem to be screw in...but they are screwed into a part that seems to be attached to the box. Of course that could be rust I'm looking at.I want to replace the washing machine outlet box...the one I have is rusted through?
They have new plastic ones that come w/new valves, I would get one of these instead of piecing one together,Oatey makes a nice one that I have installed many times. Yes you will have to cut a bigger hole in drywall on the bottom side, enough to get a torch in to solder, go big, you don't want to start your wall on fire.I want to replace the washing machine outlet box...the one I have is rusted through?
Hi, I believe the part you are referring to is an assembly, it a inset box with hot and cold valves with a drain. I've only seen plastic ones installed in new construction. I think you will have to repair the wall when you are finished. You may want to ask a plumber. Hope this helps.make lip gloss

Washing A Car W/ Rust?
A car that has rust on it will have the rust sanded, primed, and painted.
Should the car be washed before or after taking care of the rust?Washing A Car W/ Rust?
after......................... wash before to get the loose rust off....................... llWashing A Car W/ Rust?
for a long term repair you need to cut the rust out, but if its short term you can do it that way. so no you don't need to wash the car but you need to clean it with something like GONE or some sort of paint prep cleaner before and after for a better result and no fish-eyes
you can sand through dirt just fine. You should sand the car, and then wash it, then paint it.
before and after and it real good then hit it with some wd 40 make sure theres no more rust. the clean it with a break cleaner to remover all the wd. then prime and paint
It does not matter cuz you need to prep the area after you wet sand the rust.
after
ALWAYS wash the car before removing rust! A sandblaster works best for removing rust and sanding is the next best option.Then use a good wax and grease remover before priming and painting.The important thing is preparing the surface before painting so the primer and paint adhere properly to the surface! Good luck because I HATE RUST TOO!
BEFORE, USE A RUST INHIBITOR TO STOP THE RUST FROM SPREADING FURTHER
SAND, PREP AND THEN WASH IT THOROUGHLY.

Washing machine water hose nut is rusted and am unable to remove. Any ideas before calling a plumber?
First time home owner so everything is new to me. I have an older home that had a water hose still connected to the cold water when I had the washing machine installed. The delivery guys were unable to remove it, and I haven't had much luck either. Does anyone know how this can be done, if possible, or do I need to call in the professionals?Washing machine water hose nut is rusted and am unable to remove. Any ideas before calling a plumber?
If I understand your question correctly, the hose is connected to the water supply faucet, and not the inlet valve of the washer. There is a product that can be of enormous help to you. It is called PB Blaster. It is like WD40 but much better. It will eat away the corrosion and make threaded connections easier to undo.
Once the hose is disconnected, I would suggest that you replace the water supply faucet to make installation easier and prevent repeating the process in the future. Hope this helps.Washing machine water hose nut is rusted and am unable to remove. Any ideas before calling a plumber?
Go to an auto parts or hardware store and pick up some Liquid Wrench. Spray some on the rusted areas and let it set for about an hour, then hit it again. This will allow the product to penetrate the rust and begin loosening the hold it has on the hose fitting.
Use a crescent wrench or small pipe wrench and remove the fitting.
You might try spraying it very well with a lubricant like WD-40 and let it sit for a while. That might loosen up the rust and allow you to move the nut. I'd spray it good and wait 30 minutes or so, then spray again, wait 30 minutes and then try. You could also try getting some leverage on the nut by aiming a flat-head screwdriver at it and tapping gently with a hammer to see if that might loosen it as well.
Good luck!
Try spraying it with WD-40 that might loosen it up. Good luck and congrats on your new home.
Liquid wrench or WD-40 are what you should try first. Just follow directions, or look on the Internet.
The next thing I'd try is a heat, or a hair dryer would work. Heat up the nut as much as possible without heating up the male fitting it's connected to. This makes the nut expand and loosen its grip. You can do this with a propane torch too, but you have to be careful to heat it up gently. Just hot to the touch.
Finally I would go 'medieval'. cut the hose off. Use a file or a hacksaw or cold chisels, or whatever would work to cut the nut through while trying to do as little damage as possible to the male fitting. Then buy a new female fitting for the hose.
If all that doesn't work, THEN call the professionals.

Fixing a Rust spot in washing machine?
I know ther is something to buy to paint on teh rust spot so Rentacenter says but we are still on the contract even though we are paid off %26amp; I jsut now notcied the rust spot its pretty big too... its probably been there the whole time I just never looked.. But They said to paint on the stuff.
My question is will this paint on stuff fix this permanently or will it just be a temporary fix till we buy another one. Thanks..Fixing a Rust spot in washing machine?
Edited!
Our washing machine repair man told us to buy Appliance paint. I think I bought it at Lowes or maybe Walmart. Don't remember it has been a few years ago. But any home improvement store you have in your town should have it. It cost us about $6 or $8. Now I don't know where the rust spot is on your machine. But on ours was under the bleach cup. So I sanded it down really good and then covered everything with an old sheet inside the washer and made sure I put the sheet up under the hole where the bleach cup goes so I didn't spray all of that too. Then just sprayed it. I let it dry and then sprayed it again. I am not sure about it being a permanent fix but it is easy and as long as you watch for it coming back and take care of it, it should be fine. I wish I could tell you how long ours lasted but we had to sell it before we moved overseas. But I sprayed over the rust a year or so before we sold it so I know it at least lasted that long. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions about how to do it they should be able to tell you at Lowes, Home Depot or wherever you go. Good luck and I hope this helps you out!
EDIT!
Wait a second, how long have you had it? You might look into your contract and see what that says or talk the manager there. Because if it is still fairly new it shouldn't be rusting. But the paint should fix it if you don't want to mess with them . ;o) Good luck!!!

Will Rustoleum protect the rusted inside of a washing machine?
My mother-in-law has a very rusted top/lid to her washing machine. The inside of the metal box frame is also rusted on the top inside. I was thinking of replacing the top, and sanding the mildly-rusted portions on the inside metal frame, then spraying with Rustoleum. Will that protect against re-rusting and rust dripping into clothing? Will Rustoleum protect the heavily corroded portion of the top/lid too, or should I still consider replacing? Do I even need to stand down the old rust before spraying? What do you think, folks?Will Rustoleum protect the rusted inside of a washing machine?
Wire cup type brush in a electric drill and sanding then wipe down with thinner. I think HAMMERITE would work better but RUSTOLEUM would be fine. Don't worry about how well things work,just do it. It's nice to see someone else taking care of Mummsy. I thought I was alone.Will Rustoleum protect the rusted inside of a washing machine?

Rusted Washing Machine Tub?
Several months ago, I put 2 light weight rugs with Mr. Clean in my tub. I let the rugs soak overnight. Now my washing machine has rusted around the small openings and I also have a holein the tub about 1/2';...what caused this? Can I buy a tub?Rusted Washing Machine Tub?
First of all, why would you put Mr Clean in your washing machine tub? Mr Clean is not designed for soaking in washing machine tubs, It's designed for floor cleaning isn't it?
Time for a new washing machine my dear. Replacing the tub would be very expensive, so much so that it wouldn't justify the repair. It would be cheaper to buy a new machine, especially if you have the traditional top loading standard post agitator type washerRusted Washing Machine Tub?
Never heard of tubs being sold. You need a new washer.
No, I don't believe there is such a replacement part such as a tub, you will need to replace the whole machine now since there is a hole in it, this must of been a defect in the machine in the first place for it to of rusted through, washing machines don't generally rust through unless it was very very old or a very inexpensive brand of washing machine Good Luck !make lip gloss

Will storing a washing machine, in outside storage, cause it to rust??
Yes, never, ever put a washing machine anywhere near water.
So sorry, I just couldn't resist.Will storing a washing machine, in outside storage, cause it to rust??
i wouldnt do it,because thier are circuit boards that shouldnt get wet %26amp; mice %26amp; bugs will find a new home.........Will storing a washing machine, in outside storage, cause it to rust??
yes you silly women why dont you respect it
If the area it's stored in isn't dry, it will rust in time.Anything that gets wet will rust..
Make sure it's completely dry before storing it. You can wrap it with blankets or some other kind of cloth in case water should come in contact with it. As long as it doesn't get wet you shouldn't have any rust problems.
Depends, are we talking a garage, or one of those storage places? As long as water and chemicals aren't near it, it should be fine....but otherwise after a long while it may, there are metal parts involved!
no
Depends. It might.
Put dessicant inside and shrink wrap it.
Yes, unless it is well covered, top and bottom and sides. Also, it will rust regardless in coastal conditions.
I had to put mine in a storage unit for 2 yrs, sold it straight out of the unit, and the buyer called me and said it worked fine when they got it home...I live in FL so it was hot/humid in that unit the 2 yrs the machine sat there...apparently with no ill effects...
That's been my experience...however, refrigerators don't fare as well...LOL!
I have stored mine in a garage for over a year now and its still in the same condition.Should be fine as long as you drained all the water out.

only if it is stored where water can get to it. the washing machine aint gonna rust just from being stored.
no it can it is in something
no, ann
Not unless it is moist and or salty.
a normal storage shed at a ';U-Store it'; place
is safe for appliances...
If they are up north where it freezes real hard
make sure ALL the water is drained out of it.
YES!!!! If you live in a humid or some times humid area.
So sorry, I just couldn't resist.Will storing a washing machine, in outside storage, cause it to rust??
i wouldnt do it,because thier are circuit boards that shouldnt get wet %26amp; mice %26amp; bugs will find a new home.........Will storing a washing machine, in outside storage, cause it to rust??
yes you silly women why dont you respect it
If the area it's stored in isn't dry, it will rust in time.Anything that gets wet will rust..
Make sure it's completely dry before storing it. You can wrap it with blankets or some other kind of cloth in case water should come in contact with it. As long as it doesn't get wet you shouldn't have any rust problems.
Depends, are we talking a garage, or one of those storage places? As long as water and chemicals aren't near it, it should be fine....but otherwise after a long while it may, there are metal parts involved!
no
Depends. It might.
Put dessicant inside and shrink wrap it.

Do Rollerblades rust after washing?
I just washed my rollerblade wheels, it says its aluminium but im afraid there might be other metals inside so im afraid it might rust.. can some1 tell me will it rust?
ThanksDo Rollerblades rust after washing?
Yes they can if you leave the water sitting on them for a while, you just need to take a wet towel and wipe them off, or you can use a water hoes and wash them thoroughly and then dry them off with a dry rag.Do Rollerblades rust after washing?
probably. jusrt dry it well. like over a heater.

I have encountered this on many occasion through the years. If you cannot budge them with a pipe wrench use a hacksaw and cut on a diagonal and peel them off. You do not want to ruin the threads on the hose bib, but a slight groove will not hurt as the sealing is done on the hose washer and not on the threads.
You may just want to replace the hose bibs as you can save considerable time and agrivation and you can upgrade the valve with one that takes a half turn to turn on and off.I moved to a new home, old wash. machine hoses left , they're rusted to fixtures and won't budge. help!
Get a penetrant with molybdenum in it, soak it several times. If that doesn't work, you have to cut them with a mini-saw, carefully make a slit on opposite sides of the fitting, then pry slowly. Replace with braided flex lines.
Undo them from machine then buy new ones for new house.
Step aside and let a burly guy give the wrench a try.
Spray them down with WD-40 and let it sit for awhile. Take them off with channel grip pliers.
--Be careful that your not putting to much pressure on the pipes and fittings, you don't want them to break!
I am just presuming that you have tried a pipe wrench already, and not just your hands.
Get some ';Penetrant'; oil at either a Home Depot or a car store like Checkers or Autozone. Squirt it on the threads every 15 minutes. Try the wrench, if it doesn't budge, repeat until it does.
You don't want to try to cut it off because you'd probably damage the threads on the water faucet.
my daughter had this same problem in an unstairs condo. I took a hack saw blade and carefully sawed the old connector in a diagonal fashion until I could take a pair of side cutter and peel it off the fitting.
Then I wd 40d the fitting, then wire brushed it so that the new hose fitting would screw on. It worked very well for me..just go slow and you will make. Good Luck

All of my nice silverware is rusting after being washed in the dishwasher! What causes this and how?
can I avoid this? Do I have to handwash all of my basic, everyday silverware??All of my nice silverware is rusting after being washed in the dishwasher! What causes this and how?
It means that it is sure not silver. It is probably steel, but not stainless even. Whatever metal it is made from contains impurities that are rusting when water sits on them for a long time. To prevent rusting in flatware, it has to be made of either sliver, or stainless steel, which is steel that contains virtually no other metals.All of my nice silverware is rusting after being washed in the dishwasher! What causes this and how?
Rust is the result of a simple chemical process, called oxidation, that occurs when the iron compounds in stainless steel corrode in the presence of oxygen and water. Actual silver contains no iron, and therefore does not technically ';rust';. The corrosion of silver is called ';tarnish'; and results in a substance very similar to rust.
Stainless steel is designed to prevent the iron compounds from uniting with oxygen in the air, (hence the 'stainless' in the name) but when it interacts with some other outside elements it can eventually rust. Water with a high mineral concentration is the most common outside element that produces rust on otherwise stainless flatware. To prevent rusting on your silverware, simply make sure to dry it completely after washing to remove any mineral deposits from the water.
To remove rust from silverware, a paste of lemon juice and cream of tartar used as a polish usually does the trick. For very stubborn rust deposits, you may need to coat the silverware in the cream of tartar paste and let it sit for a few hours or overnight before polishing.
when any metal rust's there must to key elements present, one being water and the other being oxygen, these 2 will cause metals to rust, especially in iron which most silverware is made of, to get ride of the rust you must first get all the rust off then try either re polishing or get them re-coated. most silverware is coated in silver, hence the name silverware.
The answer is from the site listed below, it even has how to get rid of the rust....and shame on you for putting it in the dishwasher :-)

If it's true silverware, it shouldn't go in the dishwasher; the silver plating will come off and the underlying metal will rust.
Sounds to me like it's really cheap, dollar store stuff.
If your basic cutlery is silver, it cannot go into the dishwasher. If you have purchased a quality everyday cutlery it shouldn't be rusting unless you have problems with minerals in your water. I have had a simple Oneida set for everyday for years and it doesn't rust in the dishwasher.
It's not silverware, it's a low quality stainless steel flatware. Buy better quality, nothing less than 18/10.

I am getting rust marks on my clothes after washing them. What's causing this?
Here's what is looks like:

We've checked the drums in both washer and dryer. We have stainless steel hoses.I am getting rust marks on my clothes after washing them. What's causing this?
it looks like a wire has gotten stuck either in the washer or the dryer its probably from the underwire in a bra. check your units again. It is usually in the dryer stuck in the holes in the back of the unit. If you can't find it, call a repair man you may have to take it apart to find where the little devil is hiding.I am getting rust marks on my clothes after washing them. What's causing this?
It ended up being a paperclip stuck in the big gasket right behind the (front loading) door. My husband and I didn't know that could be pulled apart there. Report Abuse
If your washer and dryer drums are not the cause; it may be the part where the water comes from ie. the hose or line into the washer..
You can prevent this by using a product called Iron Out in your washer.
Get it at Wal Mart.

What can I use to remove the rust?I just pressure washed my driveway, but there are rust stains on the concrete from my sprinkler system. Help!?
the hardware store sells cleaner for driveways. go and ask them what to use.I just pressure washed my driveway, but there are rust stains on the concrete from my sprinkler system. Help!?
Usually used on metals but you can also spray KBS Rustblast on a concrete surface keeping it wet for 20-30 min, scour with a push broom as needed then rinse with a hose.
Amway used to make a product specifically for cleaning driveways, in fact I believe it was even called ';Driveway Cleaner';.
The rust from your sprinklers is probably iron ore mineral depostis. Here in east Texas it is a big problem and difficult to remove. If you try that acid wash one responder mentioned, be sure and be careful to follow the instructions. Acid is not for the novice user and change cause serious damage to you and your concrete surfacing.
Go to home depot or Lowe's and buy murratic acid that will clean itmake lip gloss

I washed my new cast iron skillet and let it dry.Now it's covered in rust!What did I do wrong?Is it fixabe?
thanks a lot!!!!!!!!I washed my new cast iron skillet and let it dry.Now it's covered in rust!What did I do wrong?Is it fixabe?
It's fixable, it has happened to me before too. First thing you did wrong was to not dry it or season it.
Now wash it again and remove all the rust, use very hot soapy water. When done, dry it thoroughly with a linen cloth or paper towel inside and out. Make sure it is dry. Put it on the stove burner and turn it on and make sure it is thoroughly dry. Never use soap on it again.
Now coat the inside (and I even do the outside) with crisco or vegetable oil on a paper towel. Coat it good and then place it in your oven on the middle rack on about 200 degrees. Put a cookie sheet underneath it to catch any drippings that might occur. Leave it in from 20 - 30 minutes and then remove it and let it cool. You should do this with it every time you use it. From now on try not to wash it if possible, you should just wipe it out good with a paper towel or damp cloth and be sure to always dry it. Don't ever let it ';air'; dry.I washed my new cast iron skillet and let it dry.Now it's covered in rust!What did I do wrong?Is it fixabe?
You aren't supposed to wash cast iron skillets...basically, you scrape them out, rub them with a paper towel or dry cloth and re-use them. They are meant to be ';seasoned'; and soap and water will ruin them.
Thats just natural for new cast iron to do that.
you need to season it
wash it real good and dry it
put oil all over it with a paper towel
place it in an oven and bake it for 2 hours at 375 degrees
after that wash it with water only and rinse well
use it only for frying purposes.
use no soap of any kind on it.
after cleaning it wipe it dry and apply a little bit oil on it to keep from rusting. till it gets a little older.
the more you use it the better it will get.
NEVER Wash a cast iron skillet!!!!
To clean, heat it up and rub cooking oil over it and store it in your oven. Make sure to get the caked on food and grime off.
The point of a cast iron skillet is that it adds flavor to your foods. The longer you have it and the more you use it the better your food will taste. Ever wonder why Grandma's cooking is so much better than yours even when you follow the recipe exactly? Probably because she is using a cast iron skillet that has not been washed in 30 years.
Also cooking with a cast iron skillet is a good source of iron. When you wash it with soap and water, you are removing the iron.
I grew up washing cast iron skillets every day. We washed it in dishwater, rinsed it good and then put it on the gas burner to until it was completely dry. When the skillet's bottom got to looking bad my dad would put it in a fire in back yard. Not sure if that will work on the new cast iron skillets as I do not own one nor do I intend to. I would only use to make corn bread and I can do that at my mom's if i want that bad. Good Luck!
Never use water on cast iron. To clean it, boil vinegar with some salt in the pan.
No need to panic. It is ';fixable';. Though ideally, you should have initially ';seasoned'; your skillet BEFORE using it. This ';seasoning'; is done by spreading Crisco shortening (inside and the outsides of the skillet...(every nook and cranny) (even the handle) ( use regular ..not butter flavored since the butter flavor has a low tolerence for heat) do this using a couple of (folded)sheets of paper towel. Once your skillet is ';bathed'; with a (decidedly) thin coat of shortening...put it in a 300 degree oven for approx. 30 mins. in an upright position ....then another 30 mins in the ';bottoms up'; position. Do this procedure at least 6-7 times before using it to cook in. If you Bar-B-Q and your pit has a cover...once you are done with cooking your meats...don't douse that fire out...instead, put the skillet on top of the grill and close the cover. When the ambers are completely gone on their own volition. (over-night sometimes)....remove the skillet from the pit once the smoking process and the heat is no more. Make use of this procedure whenever possible since it is all part of the ';seasoning '; process and will help to blacken your skillet as well. Your goal is a black skillet which will come in time...but these two types of blackening methods are useful in hurrying the process , which by the way takes years before it is where you can say you have a true black iron skillet.
Now, The theory is that a cast iron skillet should NEVER be washed with soap... speaking as someone who grew up having to wash those heavy skillets to free them from the flour remnants of a deep fried chicken ( chicken cooked to the bones as my mom used to say because it starts out uncovered...then maybe 10 mins later is covered and continues to fry that way for possibly 20 mins...then cover is removed again for maybe 5 mins... m-m-m good)....or tomato gravy or some type of sauce that had attached it's flavors to the top rim and side of the skillet, let me tell you it CAN be washed with a liquid detergent and a steel scouring pad. The trick is to do this QUICKLY. Do Not let your skillet sit for any period of time with water in it. Rinse your skillet out with warm water and IMMEDIATELY dry with a clean cotton dish towel or paper towels.. Or if you have a gas range..put it on a low fire until all the moisture is absorbed...but DRY your skillet THOUROUGHLY. (THIS IS MOST INPORTANT to the life and quality your skillet will enjoy). After it is dry... (lightly) spray ';Pam' or some other type of cooking spray all over the skillet (again, the handle bottom and outside too). Do this spraying/'coating'; Technique, Each And Every Time You Use your skillet (even after it is years old and ';seasoned'; by years of use in and out of the oven...the rust will be prevented and your Steaks, Fried Chicken, Fish, Fries, etc will be a delight to your eyes and a treat to your palate. Put your skillet away ( with the coating intact ). ';Season'; using the process I outlined whenever possible.
You are now on your way to preserving that skillet for generations to come.
Good Eating from Louisiana! Bon Appetite'!
youre not supposed to wash those
The first answer is correct and I wanted to add that in the future after you clean it (water only) put it on the stove and turn the burner on to dry it.. wipe it down with more oil or shortening after it's dry to keep it ';seasoned';.
You washed it with soap I'll bet.
To fix it clean off the rust. Use steel wool or any thing abrasive it wont bother cast iron.
Then coat with lard or shortening inside and out and bake in your oven face down. This is called seasoning. It will make it black again.
When you wash it in the future don't use soap it take the finish off.
When I wash mine I soke it in hot water to soften up any thin on it then use a plastic scrubby.
take the cold skillet..wipe heavily with shortening and put in a 400 degree oven..turn off the oven and leave over night
..never EVER use soap again
Yes it is fixable. You should never wash cast iron. Get some steel wool, a couple of grades course and fine, and scour the rust from the iron. Then using unsalted lard (it has to be unsalted and real lard not any kind of oil) coat the entire cast iron with the lard and place it in a preheated oven at 200 %26gt; 225 degrees and let the skillet stay for at least 3 hours. This will fix your problem. To clean see if you can get a bamboo whisk for cleaning a wok or something similar. This is used to take a little pure water and break up any pot liqueur on the skillet and wipe with a wet paper towel and then dry immediately. My granny did it this way. she only washed her cast iron every may day, and then retreated it. She had a word for the process but I forget it.
Did you use dry it immediatly after rinsing? Just like any other metal object, iron rusts, so leaving water on it will cause it to rust over time. The best way to clean a cast iron skillet is to burn the oil and food off. One very good way of accomplishing this is to place your skillet in the oven and set it to the ';self clean'; mode.
Whatever you do, dont use soap or detergent or leave water on the skillet after cleaning. If I were you, I would start over and get a new skillet, since the rust would take quite a lot of effort to remove. A cast iron skillet that is consistently taken care of brings much better results.
You are supposed to cure it. I'm not sure exactly how but I think you rub oil all around it and heat it in the oven for about 20 minutes. Make sure you dry it after using it each time, don't let it dry by itself.
With cast iron wash and then dry it ASAP, give a light coating of olive oil on the inside cooking surface, do not use soap or anything just water and elbow grease.
It won't be fixable if it's alreadyall rusty, take it as a lesson and do some more reading on care of those things.
once you get the rust off...........for next time you wash it what you do is immediately after you wash is you but on the stove and turn up the heat and the heat will dry the skillet........ this takes less than one minute so keep close watch over it while its on the heat to avoid any eccessive smoke or even a fire........
Put some oil in the pan, heat it, then wipe the oil off with paper towels holding salt ( in a little ball ). Then bake the pan for awhile. This is called ';seasoning';. Try not to wash then as much as wiping them clean. The oil will keep them from rusting. With a new pan, they need to be seasoned many times - be patient because that pan will last for generations !
When that lovely black shiny patina shows, you've got it !
A cast iron skillet must be seasoned. This means coating it with fat and putting it in the oven at medium heat for a long time. This lets the oil soak into the skillet and makes it repel water and other liquids (preventing rust) and gives it a non-stick coating.
Your skillet should have come with seasoning directions, but if it didn't or you threw them out, you can find some here:
http://www.lodgemfg.com/usecare1.asp
Once your skillet is seasoned, don't wash it in dish soap--just use a scrubber of some kind and the hottest water you can stand to clean it. The soap will take off the seasoning, and you'll be right back where you are now.
My husband and I disagree on the drying: He always puts it on the stove and turns a burner on under it to dry it by heating the pan until the water droplets evaporate. I say that if the skillet is properly seasoned, the seasoning will keep it from rusting, and heating it just dries out the seasoning.
yes wipe off add a little oil to it over ttime will fix it
It's fixable, it has happened to me before too. First thing you did wrong was to not dry it or season it.

No need to panic. It is ';fixable';. Though ideally, you should have initially ';seasoned'; your skillet BEFORE using it. This ';seasoning'; is done by spreading Crisco shortening (inside and the outsides of the skillet...(every nook and cranny) (even the handle) ( use regular ..not butter flavored since the butter flavor has a low tolerence for heat) do this using a couple of (folded)sheets of paper towel. Once your skillet is ';bathed'; with a (decidedly) thin coat of shortening...put it in a 300 degree oven for approx. 30 mins. in an upright position ....then another 30 mins in the ';bottoms up'; position. Do this procedure at least 6-7 times before using it to cook in. If you Bar-B-Q and your pit has a cover...once you are done with cooking your meats...don't douse that fire out...instead, put the skillet on top of the grill and close the cover. When the ambers are completely gone on their own volition. (over-night sometimes)....remove the skillet from the pit once the smoking process and the heat is no more. Make use of this procedure whenever possible since it is all part of the ';seasoning '; process and will help to blacken your skillet as well. Your goal is a black skillet which will come in time...but these two types of blackening methods are useful in hurrying the process , which by the way takes years before it is where you can say you have a true black iron skillet.
Now, The theory is that a cast iron skillet should NEVER be washed with soap... speaking as someone who grew up having to wash those heavy skillets to free them from the flour remnants of a deep fried chicken ( chicken cooked to the bones as my mom used to say because it starts out uncovered...then maybe 10 mins later is covered and continues to fry that way for possibly 20 mins...then cover is removed again for maybe 5 mins... m-m-m good)....or tomato gravy or some type of sauce that had attached it's flavors to the top rim and side of the skillet, let me tell you it CAN be washed with a liquid detergent and a steel scouring pad. The trick is to do this QUICKLY. Do Not let your skillet sit for any period of time with water in it. Rinse your skillet out with warm water and IMMEDIATELY dry with a clean cotton dish towel or paper towels.. Or if you have a gas range..put it on a low fire until all the moisture is absorbed...but DRY your skillet THOUROUGHLY. (THIS IS MOST INPORTANT to the life and quality your skillet will enjoy). After it is dry... (lightly) spray ';Pam' or some other type of cooking spray all over the skillet (again, the handle bottom and outside too). Do this spraying/'coating'; Technique, Each And Every Time You Use your skillet (even after it is years old and ';seasoned'; by years of use in and out of the oven...the rust will be prevented and your Steaks, Fried Chicken, Fish, Fries, etc will be a delight to your eyes and a treat to your palate. Put your skillet away ( with the coating intact ). ';Season'; using the process I outlined whenever possible.
You are now on your way to preserving that skillet for generations to come.
Good Eating from Louisiana! Bon Appetite'!
youre not supposed to wash those
The first answer is correct and I wanted to add that in the future after you clean it (water only) put it on the stove and turn the burner on to dry it.. wipe it down with more oil or shortening after it's dry to keep it ';seasoned';.
You washed it with soap I'll bet.
To fix it clean off the rust. Use steel wool or any thing abrasive it wont bother cast iron.
Then coat with lard or shortening inside and out and bake in your oven face down. This is called seasoning. It will make it black again.
When you wash it in the future don't use soap it take the finish off.
When I wash mine I soke it in hot water to soften up any thin on it then use a plastic scrubby.
take the cold skillet..wipe heavily with shortening and put in a 400 degree oven..turn off the oven and leave over night
..never EVER use soap again
Yes it is fixable. You should never wash cast iron. Get some steel wool, a couple of grades course and fine, and scour the rust from the iron. Then using unsalted lard (it has to be unsalted and real lard not any kind of oil) coat the entire cast iron with the lard and place it in a preheated oven at 200 %26gt; 225 degrees and let the skillet stay for at least 3 hours. This will fix your problem. To clean see if you can get a bamboo whisk for cleaning a wok or something similar. This is used to take a little pure water and break up any pot liqueur on the skillet and wipe with a wet paper towel and then dry immediately. My granny did it this way. she only washed her cast iron every may day, and then retreated it. She had a word for the process but I forget it.
Did you use dry it immediatly after rinsing? Just like any other metal object, iron rusts, so leaving water on it will cause it to rust over time. The best way to clean a cast iron skillet is to burn the oil and food off. One very good way of accomplishing this is to place your skillet in the oven and set it to the ';self clean'; mode.
Whatever you do, dont use soap or detergent or leave water on the skillet after cleaning. If I were you, I would start over and get a new skillet, since the rust would take quite a lot of effort to remove. A cast iron skillet that is consistently taken care of brings much better results.
You are supposed to cure it. I'm not sure exactly how but I think you rub oil all around it and heat it in the oven for about 20 minutes. Make sure you dry it after using it each time, don't let it dry by itself.
With cast iron wash and then dry it ASAP, give a light coating of olive oil on the inside cooking surface, do not use soap or anything just water and elbow grease.
It won't be fixable if it's alreadyall rusty, take it as a lesson and do some more reading on care of those things.
once you get the rust off...........for next time you wash it what you do is immediately after you wash is you but on the stove and turn up the heat and the heat will dry the skillet........ this takes less than one minute so keep close watch over it while its on the heat to avoid any eccessive smoke or even a fire........
Put some oil in the pan, heat it, then wipe the oil off with paper towels holding salt ( in a little ball ). Then bake the pan for awhile. This is called ';seasoning';. Try not to wash then as much as wiping them clean. The oil will keep them from rusting. With a new pan, they need to be seasoned many times - be patient because that pan will last for generations !
When that lovely black shiny patina shows, you've got it !
A cast iron skillet must be seasoned. This means coating it with fat and putting it in the oven at medium heat for a long time. This lets the oil soak into the skillet and makes it repel water and other liquids (preventing rust) and gives it a non-stick coating.
Your skillet should have come with seasoning directions, but if it didn't or you threw them out, you can find some here:
http://www.lodgemfg.com/usecare1.asp
Once your skillet is seasoned, don't wash it in dish soap--just use a scrubber of some kind and the hottest water you can stand to clean it. The soap will take off the seasoning, and you'll be right back where you are now.
My husband and I disagree on the drying: He always puts it on the stove and turns a burner on under it to dry it by heating the pan until the water droplets evaporate. I say that if the skillet is properly seasoned, the seasoning will keep it from rusting, and heating it just dries out the seasoning.
yes wipe off add a little oil to it over ttime will fix it
I'm working with mild steel how do i stop flash rusting? is there something i can add to wash water?
Aquaklean, a water-based cleaner, made by KBS Coatings is enhanced with an oxygen-block formula that reduces the incidence of flash rust . The metal prep Rustblast is also enhanced with that formula too.I'm working with mild steel how do i stop flash rusting? is there something i can add to wash water?
Mercury. But at great risk to your health.I'm working with mild steel how do i stop flash rusting? is there something i can add to wash water?
paint it or a light coaring of oil
if you are welding the metal, i wouldnt use iol or wd-40.....u might get hydrogen inclusions. use some anti splatter spray
keep the air/water away from the metal...try a coat of oil or rustolium paint...even a clear coat from them will work nice.
WD-40. The object is to keep the iron atoms from reacting with oxygen, creating rust. Any thin oil will prevent this.
i've heard baking soda, .... may be a bunch of hooey!

I washed my engine with water and now some parts seem to be getting brown like rust.?
Is there anything or any product I can buy to make it stop and make it go away?I washed my engine with water and now some parts seem to be getting brown like rust.?
I would lightly spray it with WD-40 and wipe it down.
I think Charleye S is talking about corroded battery terminals. Club soda does work great for that.I washed my engine with water and now some parts seem to be getting brown like rust.?
I had the same problem with my engine. One day AAA had to come and jump start my car. The guy saw the rust and told me to pour soda on it. I personally recommend clear soda, or just plain club soda. It worked like a charm.
sound stupid but it means you have a good,none oil coverd engine!...cover with WD40,it can be sprayed anywhere....
Pour more water and wash off that rust. Drown that damn engine i'm telling you!

only wash when needed. between washes try a good detailer's mist like from meguires. use good quality was as well. these washes have natural paint conditioners. also when you do wash make sure to wash with the grain of the paint. when the paint is sprayed on it is applied from side to side and not up and down. so when washing use a side to side motion. never go in a circular motion. this can lead to swirl marks in the paint. when drying a car off the same applies with the side to side motion. use only a 100% cotton towel or a leather shami which i prefer. always try to wash in and dry in the shade if possible.
Meguire's has a nice web site with a car care section you should check out.
There are a host of variables here, but I suppose the best answer is: when it gets dirty.
When I was in college in Ohio, I bought a series of used cars and washed each one of them only once: the day I bought them. I didn't want to ride around in the other person's dirt so I cleaned them thoroughly inside and out, including removing the seats. They generally lasted me eighteen months before they needed repairs that would have cost more than the $200 I paid for the cars, at which time I sold them for parts ~ often recovering my $200.
Once every three or four months is okay if you live in an area like Dallas that gets 270 days of sunshine a year. You'll probably need to do it more often, unless you have a car with washable paint.
Certain paint colors, like the Ford silver that was used on Town Cars and Jaguars, don't seem to bond well with the Clearcoat. So the clearcoat cracks and peels off more quickly on these colors than it does on other colors of the same model. And the paint soon follows, leaving the black primer showing through like it had been sandblasted. So these cars should be hand washed only, and far less often than cars of other colors.
Rust is more a function of pollutants than water. Dirt on the car allows the moisture to cling longer, and salt and other corrosives begin to penetrate the finish, causing air to get to the metal, resulting in rust.
If you drive near a beach or live in an area where they sand or salt the roads in the wintertime, you'll need to wash the car far more often than if you live in a big city and drive exclusively on concrete. There is a town in Oklahoma that has a paper mill which throws out terrible emissions all the time, and their solution was to build a carwash and give everybody a free wash once a week. It was cheaper than putting filters on the smokestacks.
Barring any unusual circumstances of environment, my personal opinion is that once a week is more than you need. I'd say once a month. That's a good interval for checking the oil, adding washer fluid, making sure the tires are properly inflated ~ all the other things you do to keep your car in good operating condition. Unless it is showing dirt sooner, might as well add the car wash to the list.
The idea of sun drying may seem ';green'; because you don't use electricity in the dryers at a drive thru carwash but remember that standing water is the villain here. And it affects the chrome parts much more quickly than the paint. If you are not going to wax the car, you should at least hand dry the chrome with a soft, lint free cloth like an old tee shirt. My choice is to run a short errand immediately after hand washing my van and letting the air blowing over it act as the dryer. To be truly ';green';, though, don't just invent a beer run. It should be an errand you needed to do anyway.
Finally, you say nothing about wax. A good wax acts as another layer between your car and the pollution and dirt that are its enemies, so don't skimp on the wax.
when your car looks like it needs it then wash it. if you live in a cold state then they probably put salt down on the roads for snow, this will create rust faster. also after washing your car with soap, the wax will come off, so wax it up after washing because wax protects the car from rusting.
Wash it whenever it is visibly dirty. I typically wash my vehicles every 2-3 weeks (whether they look really dirty or not). Washing by hand with an actual car wash is best. Hand dry with 100% white cotton towels. Wax it at least twice a year, or if you're into other products, I have recently been turned onto Zaino (it's not a wax). Also, to prevent rust on the underside of your car, I would use a Rustoleum paint or rubberized undercoating.
You should wash your car as often as it needs to be washed.
That sounds a little simplistic, but, if it's dirty, then it should be washed. Good quality car wash soaps are designed to NOT strip waxes and sealants. Do not use a Dawn dishwashing soap to wash your car. Dawn's own website says they do not recommend using their product to wash your car.
The only way for your car to rust from washing, is if it has an ';open sore';, a scratch or such, in the paint. If the paint and clearcoat are still in good shape, your car will not rust from washing. If it would do that, then it would rust from being rained on.
Always wash your car in the shade and dry it in the shade.
Do not use cotton towels to dry the car. Microfiber towels are the way to go. Cotton towels can cause swirls in the clear coat.
Also, when you wash, wash from the top down. This way all the dirt is moving off the car as you wash it.
After you have washed it, use a good carnauba wax or a paint sealant to protect the finish. Carnaubas last around 4-6 weeks, while sealants last 3-6 months.

Why causes rust marks and fog on my cutlery and crockery washed in a clean dishwasher ?
my dishwasher is cleaned with a proper cleaner, I use salt included with the cleaning tab and have tried it on it's own + a cleaning tab + rinse agent but suddenly I'll get rust on knife blades and rust marks on china. can anyone explain why and how to stop itWhy causes rust marks and fog on my cutlery and crockery washed in a clean dishwasher ?
you have too mch dish washer salt in it try reducing the amount you use and see if that helps.
This is why when you use rinse aid and other products it still happens, as the salt is still there or try using a less harsh salt product for your machineWhy causes rust marks and fog on my cutlery and crockery washed in a clean dishwasher ?
Even stainless steel will rust in the presence of salt and bombarding glass with salt will ruin the surface and cause pitting that makes the glass appear cloudy. Wash by hand, better for your crockery and cutlery and the environment - who wants to pay for tap water to be cleaned of salt and other additives?
have you tried descaling your pipes to the dishwasher especially iif you live in a hard water area, give that a try.
buy some descaler for it and rinse it through before you do anymore. these things happen, even to your washing machne.
If your cutlery is not stainless steel they will rust, which then leaves marks on your crockery too..you can only put things that don't rust into your dishwasher.
I would have guessed to switch your washing method. We had to switch detergents from liquid to that powder jetdry stuff.
dont be so lazy and wash and dry them by hand then you wouldnt have to worry.
Have your water tested.

1. How did you get rust on the inside of your oil pan?
2. Just wire brush it off and then fill it with oil. It's not going to rust when it's covered with oil.
It got out in the rain ? Safety glasses a drill and a stiff wire

My washing machine is putting rust stain on my clothes. Is there anything I can do?
Hi,
Most washers have stainless steel bowls that don't rust. But sometimes hair clips, wire from a under wire bra or something metal that someone had in there pocket that falls out in the wash and gets down inside your washer. All these things will rust and leave marks on your clothes.
If your washing machine is a top loader it's not hard to undo the agitator then remove the stainless steel inner tub. Once that removed you should be able to see what is causing the rust.
While you have the stainless steel inner tub out of the way, it will give you a good chance to clean the soap scum build up on the outer plastic tub. When I removed mine from the washer I thought I was going to be sick, the build up of scum was awful. First I used a paint scrapper to clean most of it then followed it up by letting the washer soak with water and caustic soda.
If the washer is still working, then don't throw it out. Just undo the machine and see whats causing the rust. You have nothing to loose by taking a good look inside it.

Where is the rust coming from? washer, water heater that is about to fail, old steel water pipes. 1st thing in a.m. turn on cold water with clear glass under spout, any rust? try w/ hot water, call plumber if you can't figure it outMy washing machine is putting rust stain on my clothes. Is there anything I can do?
hard question! If the washer is extremely old. The ceramic surface could be damaged. In that scenario, you need to replace it. If it is not old, and you don't remember damaging it, then there is probably a piece of metal from someones pocket caught below the spindle.
quick fix find out where it is rusty and get a water/heat resisent paint and do a quick fix... may involve take parts off... don't get in to deep just to the service stuff and make sure your not spraying over any bolts or screws or a place that could be glued!
if you can't find where the rust is check the hoses for the water intake... replace if needed. do a water test as well to see how hard your water is!
Good luck
Mad luv
wash out your machine. or buy a new one. it might be rusting inside
they make stuff called iron out you might try adding that to your laundry it might work but if it is the machine you may have to replace that
If you're sure it's the washing machine and not the water (sometimes rust gets into your system if the city flushes hydrants), it's time for a service call and/or replacement.
You can use a laundry rust remover to get rid of the stains.
Been there.
replace it. we tried everything.
It's most likely because your washer is starting to rust. That happened to my mom last year. We kept having rust all over our brand new nice clothes. Nothing you can really do about it right now. Especially if money is tight. But I'd suggest either take the clothes to a laundrymat (can't spell it), hand wash 'em, or maybe, just maybe try some fabric stain remover on your clothes along with your detergent.
soak them in cider

Where is the rust coming from? washer, water heater that is about to fail, old steel water pipes. 1st thing in a.m. turn on cold water with clear glass under spout, any rust? try w/ hot water, call plumber if you can't figure it outMy washing machine is putting rust stain on my clothes. Is there anything I can do?
hard question! If the washer is extremely old. The ceramic surface could be damaged. In that scenario, you need to replace it. If it is not old, and you don't remember damaging it, then there is probably a piece of metal from someones pocket caught below the spindle.
quick fix find out where it is rusty and get a water/heat resisent paint and do a quick fix... may involve take parts off... don't get in to deep just to the service stuff and make sure your not spraying over any bolts or screws or a place that could be glued!
if you can't find where the rust is check the hoses for the water intake... replace if needed. do a water test as well to see how hard your water is!
Good luck

wash out your machine. or buy a new one. it might be rusting inside
they make stuff called iron out you might try adding that to your laundry it might work but if it is the machine you may have to replace that
If you're sure it's the washing machine and not the water (sometimes rust gets into your system if the city flushes hydrants), it's time for a service call and/or replacement.
You can use a laundry rust remover to get rid of the stains.
Been there.
replace it. we tried everything.
It's most likely because your washer is starting to rust. That happened to my mom last year. We kept having rust all over our brand new nice clothes. Nothing you can really do about it right now. Especially if money is tight. But I'd suggest either take the clothes to a laundrymat (can't spell it), hand wash 'em, or maybe, just maybe try some fabric stain remover on your clothes along with your detergent.

Can I use a Rust Remover spray on my car before washing?
or should I just paint it with a factory colored pen to do the touch ups?Can I use a Rust Remover spray on my car before washing?
just touch it up dont spray that stuff on the paint it make mess the good paint up.Can I use a Rust Remover spray on my car before washing?
Rust remover will ruin any good paint on your vehicle. Removing rust can be a big job. Check with a body shop, or knowledgeable person before attempting any quick fixes. Good Luck!
Use the rust remover before you paint it!
otherwise, the colored pen will cover the rust and the paint easiely come down with time on!
Use the factory colored pen, and do it AFTER you wash it.

Sounds like you need to toss the knives and buy some better quality ones. The only time I've ever had any flatware rust is when I bought some cheapies for camping. Invest $50 in a good set of flatware and you'll never have to replace it. You will save money in the long run over having to replace the cheap stuff as it starts rusting. You definitely don't want to use the rusted knives anymore.What can I do to prevent the rust spots and stains that form on the knives that were washed in the dishwasher?
Have to disagree with SHOJO. I frequently have that problem with both cheap and expensive (I don't machine was the expensive flatware or knives anyomore). If it does happen, I use SOS pads to clean off the rust. My mother swears that if you dry the flatware by hand right after the cycle, that will prevent it. That for me defeats the purpose of using the dishwasher.

Will a studded cotton jacket be damaged if washed? will the studs rust?
I have a jacket that I want to put studs on, but it isn't leather and I'm worried about washing it when the studs are on it.Will a studded cotton jacket be damaged if washed? will the studs rust?
I have plenty of studded clothes, t-shirts, denim shirts, other shirts, jeans, skirts and jackets and they wash up just fine. If the garment itself says washable, then I simply throw the studded item into the wash. The only problem I've encountered is when the prongs of the studs get caught on other items, so I make sure everything is turned right side out, and all buttons are buttoned, and then I tighten up the prongs before washing again.. My denim shirts I toss in the dryer and so far the studs have held up well. T-shirts I hang to dry, mostly so they don't stretch out weird.
I've never had any studs rust on me yet, so far. I don't buy the cheapest ones, but I don't spend a fortune on them either. I don't put anything with acrylic rhinestones or plastic rhinestones in the dryer, and anything with glass or crystal stones get hand washed and hung to dry, simply because I want them to stay perfect looking.

Why do rust-like spots show up on my stainless steel knives after washing them in the dishwasher?
I have purchased a rather nice set of stainless steel cutting knives and have noticed that rust-like spots show up on them after washing them in the dishwasher? Does anyone know why? What can I do to stop that from happening and how do I get them off of the knives now?Why do rust-like spots show up on my stainless steel knives after washing them in the dishwasher?
Sounds like your knives aren't as good as you thought they were. Nickle is the agent in stainless steel that makes it stainless. There are many grades of stainless steel and what they usually use in dinnerware is one of the lowest grades there are. The highest grade is used in medical implants and body jewelry. I've run across this problem myself but it was with the cheaper dinnerware. Some soaps you purchase have some chlorine in it and it will rust even some of the better stainless if it's left in the water too long. You might want to check the ingredients of the type of soap you use.Why do rust-like spots show up on my stainless steel knives after washing them in the dishwasher?
The spots are crystallized salts from the dish washing detergent that over time will start slow corrosion of the steel.
If you have really good knives you should clean them by hand and NOT in the dish washer. And remember to sharpen them with a little bit of oil on a stone.
You can get rid of these spots by polishing the knifes carefully by hand. A drop of vegetable oil makes this polishing easier.
Yes! I'd like to know the answer to this too. And why is it always the knives and not on the forks and spoons??? It drives me nuts.
Because good knives don't go in the dishwasher. The chemicals in the detergent are too harsh for the good stuff.
it is a mixture of the heat and natural salts in your water. Plus detergents have added salt too. If you want to prevent that problem, instead of letting your dish washer sit after the cycle has completed immediately remove dishes and dry off the dishes if any water is left on them.

I have rust stains in my washing machine. Is there any way of getting of rid them?
There's a product on the market called Iron Out. It comes in liquid and powder. I use the powder as an additive to get the yellow discoloration stains from hard water out of my whites, and the drum of the washer also comes clean at the same time. The directions for this is on the package. Good luck!I have rust stains in my washing machine. Is there any way of getting of rid them?
Try CLR or Lime AwayI have rust stains in my washing machine. Is there any way of getting of rid them?
Janitorial Supply should have a rust remover that you can use. If not that try Navel Jelly from the auto parts store.
try a product called CLR that cleans calcium, lime and rust stains
Try scrubbing them with wd40
fill the tub up and then put in CLR thats the name of the product and let soak then scrub should come out that stuff works good.

How do I get and keep rust from forming on my spoons and knives after washing them in the dish washer?
Every time I was dishes in the dish washer, they tend to develop rust on them. This usually happens when I do not dry them right away. How do I get and keep the rust off?How do I get and keep rust from forming on my spoons and knives after washing them in the dish washer?
I use stainless steel cleaning wipes (sold in the cleaning aisle at the grocery or discount store). I notice that a lot of my flatware forms some oxidation spots periodically, so I clean off the rust spots then run them through the dishwasher.
I've noticed that I have to do this chore about every 6 months.
Good luck!How do I get and keep rust from forming on my spoons and knives after washing them in the dish washer?
you need to get to the cutlery as soon as th edishwasher has finished it's the steam that makes them rust i've stopped putting in the good stuff and wash this by hand
You have to dry them as soon as they are done washing or they will rust. It tells you on every box of silverware to be sure to dry them as soon as you wash them to keep them from rusting.

Can you still get rust stains out of clothing after being washed and dried? If so, how?

It's not as easy as just rubbing a lemon on the stain. You have to also add rock or sea salt to the half of a lemon and work that into the stain. Then, take outside on a sunny day and allow to set in the sun for awhile. Then launder. but, because you already dried the pants, you MAY have to do this process again. But, it should do the trick.

Yes, it might change the color, but I've used it for 20 years and have never seen any changes on any fabric I've treated. The directions say to ';try in an inconspicuous place';
you can buy a rust remover for fabrics at walmart. Its cost $4-5 and will still work after being washed and dried. Look in the cleaning chemicals aisle
i used the lemon juice trick and it worked afterwards, just remmember to sprinkle salt over the juice and lay in the sun.

Why do I get rust spots on my silverware after washing it in the dishwasher? I don't have it set to air dry.
I always set the dishwasher to dry with heat, use name brand cleaners and drying agents. My silverware is not expensive, but it's also not cheap. I don't know what to do other than hand wash and dry, and that's not happening.Why do I get rust spots on my silverware after washing it in the dishwasher? I don't have it set to air dry.
You may be packing the silverware too close together so the air is not drying them thoroughly and there are still water droplets between the pieces of flatware. There may be different types of metal touching each other causing electrolysis which will promote rusting even with stainless steel. Forks and spoons should not be cupping together to trap the water between them. The ';handles'; should be down unless they can protrude through the bottom of the silverware basketWhy do I get rust spots on my silverware after washing it in the dishwasher? I don't have it set to air dry.
when the washer is done open the door and let the steam out ! MOISTURE is causing it !
It may not be your flatware that is causing the spots. If something else that you wash has metal fittings (like a utensil or a can opener) it might get rust spots that drip on other things. I have found that some bakeware like cupcake pans or metal pans in general can rust and distribute rust onto other things.
if you suspect that something other than the flatware is causing the rust, just be sure to handwash the rusty stuff, or better yet, toss it.
USE A SOS PAD. IT WILL COME OFF VERY EASY
I have gotten rust spots on items placed in the dishwasher when the tips of the prongs are gone or are not 100% sealed.
Drying with heat isn't necessary, and by using the ';air'; setting, you'll be saving energy.

The only way is to do an empty load with some CLR (Calcium, Lime, Rust remover)
Your tub is either not stainless steel or does not have the coating on it.
Is it old?
Maybe time for a new washer or find a new tub in the appliance section for parts.

What is the best soap and detergent (for washing clothes) for water that has rust in it along with hard water?

The best thing to do is buy or rent a water softener and use the softener salt specifically for rust problems. But that's not what you asked about so...for your laundry use an additive. ';Calgon'; is a water softener, (I've never used it and don't know what it actually is made of but have heard good stuff about it) ';Borax'; is a laundry booster, it naturally occurs in the earth and is mined in the US. You can find it usually in the grocery store, ';20 Mule Team Borax';. I like this better than Calgon or Biz or whatever. As for the Detergent, try a few and see, a lot depends on what kind of dirt you are needing to get out of your clothes. I prefer ';ERA'; it is reasonably priced, I can use it for spot treating and with the Borax they clean almost all my clothing the first time through. (Powdered Tide works better but for the difference in price over a year I can buy more clothes.) However when it comes to whites I use ';Iron Out';, I can usually find it at WalMart in the plumbing department or most farm or hardware stores. Follow the directions on the container, it isn't a very big container so it might seem expensive but you don't use much and it will clean the rust out of your clothes (also toilet bowl). I also use vinegar instead of fabric softener with all my laundry about 1/2 cup for a full load. On the rare occasions when I want to use liquid fabric softener I use about half the recommended and still use the vinegar.
I do 12 - 15 loads of laundry a week, I use a box of Borax and a 100 oz jug of Era a month. Iron Out lasts about 2 months but I use it for all kinds of other things and vinegar I buy 2 gallons a month, I'm not sure how much of that goes to the laundry, probably half. Note: If you do get the Borax, send away for the free booklet, you would be amazed at all the stuff it does.
As for your personal bathing soap, again, a water softener would work well here. If you take baths, add Epsom salts, about 1/4 Cup, it will soften the water without drying your skin too much. If you take showers and want a liquid be sure to use a puff, they really help with the lather. Glycerin soaps work good with hard water but I can go through a bar in two baths. Fels Naptha (I think that is spelled right) is a tan/brown soap that has been around long before me. You can use it for laundry, as kids we used it to get rid of poison ivy, if you don't mind it, the bar gets real hard and lasts forever. I don't like Ivory because I think it dries the skin too much, but it works well with hard water. Maybe because it is so pure? It comes in a liquid, but I haven't tried it. After all that, my favorite is kinda expensive but again lasts forever, so you can look at it as an investment. It is from www.QVC.com. In the search box on their homepage type in rock soap or wood soap. I think the wood is a bit more masculine. The rocks are beautiful, the wood is also. The soap is mild but cleansing, the lather is sooooo wonderful. My husband no longer uses shaving cream because the lather is so
very wonderful and soft.
But really, invest in a water softener if you can. You will be able to use less soap, detergent and other cleaning stuff, plus it will be better on your plumbing. And you can still use the rock soap with soft water.

What causes the rust stains on your clothes from the washing machine?
what can i do to stop it?
what causes it?What causes the rust stains on your clothes from the washing machine?
Rust stains can come from a number of sources, but one that is very common is from ';iron eating bugs.'; They are type of bacteria that react chemically with iron pipes. And even though most modern houses have PVC pipe, the supply lines coming from the city water are very often iron. The community in which I live has a particularly bad problem with them. It does seem to be seasonal, so I don't have the problem all the time
Two things you can do. First to remove the stain, you can use oxalic acid. It is a bit hard to find, but you might find it at a drugstore or hardware store. It is an organic acid that comes in a power form. Be sure not to eat it...it is toxic to eat, but won't hurt your skin. When it is dissolved in water, it will react with iron and tie it up so that it will remain in solution. I usually apply a small amount of the material in solution to the stained area and then rewash the garmet.
The second thing you can do is to filter your water. The bacteria tend to agglomerate together, and thus they are easily filtered out. It is essential where I live, to put a filter on the water supply to the ice maker in my refrigerator. Otherwise the lifetime of the icemaker is greatly reduced.
For a washing machine it will be a much larger filter. But if you have severe iron problems and expensive clothes, it might be worth it.What causes the rust stains on your clothes from the washing machine?
I had rust stains on clothes from a oil leak in the aggitator. Best to have a mechanic check it out so you dont get others and ruin more clothes. Report Abuse
Most likely the garments with ZIPPERS and METAL BUTTONS you are washing are beginning to brake down. There may be some that have came off and are lodged inside the washer itself. Good Luck and Live Well.
um, rust?
The tub in your washer is rusting. You can try to repair by sanding and painting the area(s) , but it'll be right back shortly.
Apparently the washer is getting up there in it's years.
Maybe it's time to think about a replacement... unless you can find a deal on a new replacement tub and know how to swap it out.

And even though most modern houses have PVC pipe, the supply lines coming from the city water are very often iron. The community in which I live has a particularly bad problem with them. It does seem to be seasonal, so I don't have the problem all the time
Two things you can do. First to remove the stain, you can use oxalic acid. It is a bit hard to find, but you might find it at a drugstore or hardware store. It is an organic acid that comes in a power form. Be sure not to eat it...it is toxic to eat, but won't hurt your skin. When it is dissolved in water, it will react with iron and tie it up so that it will remain in solution. I usually apply a small amount of the material in solution to the stained area and then rewash the garmet.
The second thing you can do is to filter your water. The bacteria tend to agglomerate together, and thus they are easily filtered out. It is essential where I live, to put a filter on the water supply to the ice maker in my refrigerator. Otherwise the lifetime of the icemaker is greatly reduced.
For a washing machine it will be a much larger filter. But if you have severe iron problems and expensive clothes, it might be worth it.What causes the rust stains on your clothes from the washing machine?
I had rust stains on clothes from a oil leak in the aggitator. Best to have a mechanic check it out so you dont get others and ruin more clothes. Report Abuse
Most likely the garments with ZIPPERS and METAL BUTTONS you are washing are beginning to brake down. There may be some that have came off and are lodged inside the washer itself. Good Luck and Live Well.
um, rust?
The tub in your washer is rusting. You can try to repair by sanding and painting the area(s) , but it'll be right back shortly.
Apparently the washer is getting up there in it's years.
Maybe it's time to think about a replacement... unless you can find a deal on a new replacement tub and know how to swap it out.
My water is a little brown does that mean that it has rust in it ? and can i still wash dishes and etc...?
You can still wash dishes. Its nothing to really worry about. Try pouring those products made to reduce the rust down the drains. Maybe their will be a better outcome and your water will be clearer.My water is a little brown does that mean that it has rust in it ? and can i still wash dishes and etc...?

Why do rust stains appear when clothes are washed in washing machine?
The machine is very old (it's a Maytag) and a few of the little holes in the tub are a little rusty. But yesterday a white shirt came out with lots of rust splotches all in one spot. Why does that happen?
What can I do to stop it? I know how to get rust out of clothes (use Oxyclean), but I want to prevent them getting rusty in the first place.Why do rust stains appear when clothes are washed in washing machine?
Get some appliance touch up paint at the hardware store. Touch up those little rust spots on the drum of the washer with it. It happens when you launder garments with metal buttons, rivets and zippers, like jeans. They agitate and spin against the drum causing the paint to chip off. A little touch up paint and the problem is solved.Why do rust stains appear when clothes are washed in washing machine?
you haf to buy another washing machine or waste your money on oxy clean
you have to get the rust out of the machine itself or its just going to keep getting on ur clothes
maybe run it through a cycle with oxy cleen or bleach or some sort of rust remover, with out any clothes in it -
or you may have to do it by hand
the most causes of a washing machine getting rust in it , is leaving wet clothes in it over night or longer,

Rust and grime stains appear when clothes stay in the washing mashine too long or if its old. The rust or mildew rubs against it. You might want to get a new washing machine.

Is it ok I shower wash my bike? Will it cause rust?
it will rust if you don't dry all the parts. especially the small parts. you will also have to put on new oil and grease after it is dry.Is it ok I shower wash my bike? Will it cause rust?
I am not sure. I havent showered with my bike in years.
Just remember to lube it after it dries. Chain, cables etc.
I am sure it will still respect you in the morningIs it ok I shower wash my bike? Will it cause rust?
It shouldn't if you're careful. The chain is usually prone to rust if you're not careful. If it is well lubed then you should be OK. Most of the ';metal'; is usually some sort of aluminum alloy (crankset, etc). Some cassettes use steel cogs. Just dry everything off afterwards. I usually just wipe the bike down with a cloth and some Windex.
on your chains yes but i'd just wet cloth the bike makes it cleaner then shower wash and wont rust your chain!
dispite how odd that sounds. washing your bike with a hose or on a shower is a bad idea. Water gets everywere, inside the frame and desipte 'sealed' bearings, inside the bearings on inexpensive bikes.
Just say no!

You most likely have a hole somewhere in your washer that has eaten through the porcelain leaving a rusty spot.
When your clothes get on that spot you get rust.
Check out \your washer basket very carefully and when you find the hole patch it with some porcelain paint (get it at Wal Mart, it is in a tube like toothpaste)
Failing that get some stuff called Iron Out at Wal Mart, look for a white bottle with red and blue lettering. It works great.Why do my clothes come out of the washing machine with rust marks on?
I'm guessing you have an older machine. Over time the holes in the tub can get a little rusty. Do a complete cycle (without putting any clothes in ) of water and white vinager, because the vinager is acidic it should remove the rust build up in the tub. Happy washing!

Dime-sized rust hole in bottom of washing machine, can I fix it with epoxy?
I am wondering if I should try and fix it with epoxy or if that will work. I never used it before. I am fixing it just long enough until after the holidays when I can afford to buy another. ThanksDime-sized rust hole in bottom of washing machine, can I fix it with epoxy?
Use that dime and cover it with epoxy. Place it over the hole and let it dry. Let some water in, if it leaks out, add some more epoxy around the edges of the dime. Once dry, it should be waterproofed and good to go. Seriously, it will hold and dimes won't rust, at least for a long while. In the meantime, the holidays will be over and you can buy a new one according to your schedule.

Go to the hardware store and see if you can find some J B Weld. You may have to go to an auto parts store. Get the 4 hour stuff, not the 5 minute set up stuff. Mix up a bit of this grey goop and cover the hole. It should last for a while. Probably longer that you need. Just don't mess with it until the 4 hours are up. This stuff takes forever, but truly holds well. If the hole is covered with rust, sand it off a little.

Washing Machine is leaving rust marks on clothes?
I have an indesit WA155 washing machine that has started leaving what look like rust marks on clothes. If the clothes are removed straight after the wash the marks are faint but still there.Washing Machine is leaving rust marks on clothes?
Have a look inside the drum to see if any metal objects are caught in the holes. If not you may need to get a new machine.Washing Machine is leaving rust marks on clothes?
Try a good washing machine cleaner, you can usually buy spefific ones from most supermarkets, failing that use some washing soda of bicarbonate of soda and put the machine on a really hot cycle with an extra rinse cycle after to make sure it's completely flushed through. If this works do that once a month to keep it clean inside, if not get a new one and make sure you give it a cleaning cycle every so often to stop this happening again.
Something in there is probably rusting. Maybe the basket. If it under warranty I would take back. If not then it will probably cost as much to replace basket as it would to buy a new one.
Is the washer a older type cause I used to have a old school maytag washer that did that same sh!t.
start you own clothing line called rust skid
time to get a new one!

Rust coming from holes in washing machine?
There is rust coming from the holes in my 5-year-old washing machine. I have seen posts that suggest using a rust remover, but that doesn't solve my problem long term. Any ideas?Rust coming from holes in washing machine?
You can try to use some special enamel you can purchase at hardware stores (less than $5), but if you can't see the nicks in the enamel of the basket (that cause the rust stains) to do the touch-up, you need to have the washing basket in your machine changed out. Ask around for how much that would cost though (parts and labor), because it might be cheaper to just purchase a new machine.Rust coming from holes in washing machine?
There is a product you can buy at the grocery store that is actually for cleaning the dish washer. It's called something like Sparkle. It re whitens the inside and works really well. Used it on the washing machine and it looked brand new inside. But if there is a lot of rust, call a plumber and see how much to replace just the tub.

well, you don't! It is water destroying metal, because the finish is gone.How do you get rust out of a washing machine?
You don't. You could concieveably take every part apart, sand and wire brush each rust spot and then you'd have no rust. However, the next time you washed, the rust would start again. You need a new machine..
spray lubricant
Barkeepers Friend. This stuff is amazing! Will get rid of rust on just about anything.
Problem is if there is rust you'll have to coat the tub with something (paint?) afterwards or the rust will just return in time.
Fill the machine as if you were going to do a load of clothes, add CLR. let the solution sit for about an hour. After an hour turn the washer back on to finish the cycle. You may have to do it more than once. Hope this helps.
If its in the barrell replace it about $80.00. That's the only place water could be. If its in the lines run the machine a couple of times that should clean it out.

How to wash a cloth with rusted stain?
A deep-set stain is best removed with oxalic acid (from a hardware store or pharmacy). This chemically combines with the iron and allows it to dissolve. Then wash in soap and water.
Do not use products like CLR or Lime-away as they contain strong mineral acid which will probably react with the cloth.How to wash a cloth with rusted stain?
CLR will work and it won't hurt the material.How to wash a cloth with rusted stain?
SOAK in vinager, or TSP(hardware store)
TSP is better..
Also might try Epson salts..
what these do is loosen the material, so the rust falls out.

Anyone know a home remedy to clean rust out of the washing machine?
I don't know a home remedy but I do know that Walmart sells a rust remover in a brown bottle.
cozyAnyone know a home remedy to clean rust out of the washing machine?
This is a common problem with machines over five years of age, but there is an easy solution. Go to the Home Depot or Lowes, and located in the plumbing department is an awesome product called Iron Out. The cost of it is about $5.00, cheaper then buying a new washer or a new wardrobe.
Follow the directions on the container and you will no longer have this problem. This stuff works like magic, but you may need to continue to pour Iron Out in the washer every other month or so as needed.Anyone know a home remedy to clean rust out of the washing machine?
The problem is that just removing the rust won't end your problem. You can use CLR, Whink, or any of the commercial rust removers but unless you seal the rust spot, they will only rust again over time making mystery spots on your garments. After you remove the rust, head to the home improvement store and purchase appliance touch up paint. Carefully apply it so that the entire spot where the rust occurred is covered so that the water used for laundry in the future doesn't reactivate with the metal and make the rust re-appear.
Either Iron Out or SnoBowl - run it in a load- then run a rinse load afterwards.
best idea is to buy a rust removing spray from a hardware store and follow directions, then run a few empty loads through the washing machine to ensure it is completly flushed

Hi,
Koala... mentioned Rust Out. Rust out comes in different forms but there is one that is in a spray bottle. It's not easy to find but I did find it at a Meijer's store. You can spray it on the spots and it comes out. I haven't had any problems using it on any materials.
Good Luck!

Lemon juice and table salt will remove iron rust from fabric. Cut the lemon in half, rub in on the fabric until good and wet, then rub in the salt and put the article in the sun to dry (not easy if in uk), but the lemon and salt should work anyway left to dry naturally, then wash as usual.
there is a product called clr and also one called rust out...not sure if youve locked emin but you might try those

Why is my washing machine getting rust on my clothes?
And what needs to be done to the washing machine to fix this problem? Thanks in advanceWhy is my washing machine getting rust on my clothes?
Sounds as if some of the pain of the inner drum has chipped of exposing the metal of the washing drum. Your clothes go through the washing cycle and once the machine stops the clothes stay in contact with the area of the drum having the chipped paint and this transfers rust onto the clothing. There is a product I believe is called ';rust out'; that will remove the rust from your clothes. To prevent the occurrence you need to find the area of the inner drum that has the chipped paint and touch it up with appliance paint from any home center. Until then just remove your clothes the moment they're done washing and don't let them sit there until you can place them in the dryer.Why is my washing machine getting rust on my clothes?
The are only two possibilities:
1) The water coming in is rusted (either due to ruptured water lines, or maintenance on them) depositing on the clothes.
2) The coating on the drum has broken down and the metal is oxidizing / rusting. the rust breaks off, and wind up on the clothes.
For #1 run the water for 10 minutes, or until you get a clear glass of water.
For #2 Replace the machine.
RIGHT ON ABOVE! the water or the machine have to be the source of the rust. What no one has mentioned yet is that you may have older Galvanized water piping or a bad water heater and this could be the source of the rust. If your clothes basket has a chipped place the rust can be comming from there. AND you might be confusing rust with mud. Some water supplies get muddy from time to time whether they are municipal or wells. If you have a well it may be drawing all the water down and mud may be comming in and if your water runs through.
You'll have to do some investigation and ellimination to get to the source of the problem. Try filling the bath tub with hot water only and let it cool before a bath. If no rust here after 4 or 5 baths its a pretty safe bet its the washer. However the piping can still be ran so you have rusty water to the washer and not to the tub. so next turn off the hot water and use only cold in your washer. If the problem is still there then it is even more likely that its the washer.
Feel around on the inside of your washer tub for rough spots. If any there look over with a good light and see if rusty. or chipped. Be careful not to cut fingers while feeling. If you find a rusty spot ask at an appliance repair, or a store with appliance department (sears, Ace hardware, any place but Lowes the help there wont know and if they think they know you might not get the right stuff) if they have porcelin chip paint. Usually in a verry small bottle 1 to 3 ozs. Color shouldnt matter unless your clothes are allergic to a specific color.
If you have your own well water, it is probably iron in your water. You can get a softener, or an iron filter. Have your water tested, to make sure what you need. You may need both. If you already have rust spots on white clothes, you can use Whink, to take out the stains. Be careful on colored clothes though, it will take the color out. Is fine on whites though. Also will clean up iron stains on your kitchen and bathroom fixtures.
Take the hose off of your washing machine
The washing machine ends only. Both hoses.
There should be a little screen in the end of each hose.
Remove the screen with a needle or a toothpick.
Run water through both hoses for about a minute.
Clean the little screens and put them back.
Hook up the hoses again.
Happy washing.
I got rusty clothes for a while, then I figured out a screw had wedged in one of the drain holes and had rusted. Also, your washer basket may have a rust spot.
It is not the washer, it is your water. Put a good filter in line before the water gets to the washer.
It has rust inside it. Or your water is rusty. That's why it is getting rust on your clothes. Sorry, but I don't know how to fix your washing machine.
How old is it? You have a rust problem kinda like Obama is causing.Call Sears.
How old is your H/W heater?
Flush the hoses, disconnect the hotwater hose and wash in cold only.
Don`t Know ! But can you believe that no liberal lemmings blamed it on President Bush ? LOL
Sounds as if some of the pain of the inner drum has chipped of exposing the metal of the washing drum. Your clothes go through the washing cycle and once the machine stops the clothes stay in contact with the area of the drum having the chipped paint and this transfers rust onto the clothing. There is a product I believe is called ';rust out'; that will remove the rust from your clothes. To prevent the occurrence you need to find the area of the inner drum that has the chipped paint and touch it up with appliance paint from any home center. Until then just remove your clothes the moment they're done washing and don't let them sit there until you can place them in the dryer.Why is my washing machine getting rust on my clothes?
The are only two possibilities:
1) The water coming in is rusted (either due to ruptured water lines, or maintenance on them) depositing on the clothes.
2) The coating on the drum has broken down and the metal is oxidizing / rusting. the rust breaks off, and wind up on the clothes.
For #1 run the water for 10 minutes, or until you get a clear glass of water.
For #2 Replace the machine.
RIGHT ON ABOVE! the water or the machine have to be the source of the rust. What no one has mentioned yet is that you may have older Galvanized water piping or a bad water heater and this could be the source of the rust. If your clothes basket has a chipped place the rust can be comming from there. AND you might be confusing rust with mud.

What will happened if I wash the car everyday, what about rust??
well, if you wash it everyday it sure will be clean but think about all that water that gets down inside the doors everytime you do, eventually the insides of the doors could rust out.What will happened if I wash the car everyday, what about rust??
No need to worry about rust. The paint protects the car from it
rust comes from cars that are subjected to the salt used to clear roadways in the winter in the north. That's why cars in the south don't have rust on them, and cars in the north do. Over time, the salt used to clear roadways collects on the cars and eats through the paint, exposing the metal and causing oxidation (rust)
Wash away - keep your car clean and don't worry about rust
If you live in the north, washing your car will actually help prevent rust, because you'd be washing away any salt that might be there to eat through the paintWhat will happened if I wash the car everyday, what about rust??
For one use high quality supplies! Like Meguiar's. Give it a good wash and a good dry then go through the steps of polishing and waxing. This will help the paint stay beautiful for a long time. Or take it to a detailer. Afterwards there is not need for daily washes and you can remove the protectants that you just had applied. Dont use shampoo's they can hurt your clearcoat( Pending make ). Check out these video's. www.Meguiars.com
I have a 67 Fairlane show car, its all I use.
Washing everyday shouldn't cause rust as long as the rust isn't there to begin with and as long as the paint is in decent condition. The soap used to wash the car with may cause more damage if used daily. Wash once and apply a good coat of wax, then wash weekly and hose off with plain water and dry thoroughly in between. That should be sufficient if you feel the need to wash your car daily.
Washing will not make your car rusty. Use shampoo instead of soap or detergent as this will keep the paint safe and maintain the shine too.
