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.

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
no home remedies but if you go to the hardware store i am sure they have something for you that you can purchase if you tell them your situation.
