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

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

My washing machine 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.

    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.

  • 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 !

    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!
