If i touch rust then wash my hands will the rust particles stil be on my hands?

no.





bagellad- you are an idiot.


and a freaky child molester by the looks of t.





but anyway.





no.


i think the disease you are talking about is tetanus.


but tetanus is only from infected wounds. as long as the rust never entered your bloodstream, you will be ok.


you arent going to die, but if you had a cut or somthing, you may want to go get a tetanus shot.





here are some symptoms for tetanus..aka...lock jaw











Tetanus often begins with muscle spasms in the jaw (called trismus), and can be accompanied by difficulty swallowing and stiffness or pain in the muscles of the neck, shoulders, or back. These spasms can spread to the muscles of the abdomen, upper arms, and thighs. The symptoms can occur anywhere from days to months after exposure to the bacteria.








hope i helped

Will you get what 'disease?'





The only thing related to rust that I can think of, is Tetanus. Oftentimes caused by bacteria getting into the body through an open cut or wound, sometimes caused by a rusty object. You will not get it from simply touching rust or having particles of rust on your hands.





With that being said...yes, washing your hands will get rid of pretty much all of the particles. Even if any did remain (which isn't too likely unless you've really been sitting on your hands on top of something rusty with your weight pushing the rust into your skin)...it wouldn't really do anything to you to have a little residue on your hands. It gets in the body by scrapes, cuts and wounds.





Who told you about rust particles causing it?





Oh yeah, and don't listen to that guy who gave a stuipid, nonsense answer about working in a body shop, dying and all of that other silliness. Of course that is a nonsense answer.





It is advisable to wash them after touching something with a lot of rust, though. The reddish/brownish color looks horrible when it gets ground into something like a white T-shirt and won't wash out. :-)If i touch rust then wash my hands will the rust particles stil be on my hands?
Not if you scrub it very well.

Dishwasher rust! All the metal items I wash in the dishwasher come out with rust spots on. can anyone help?

In Denmark it is quite well-known, that putting some aluminum-foil in the tray for the cutlery, can help prevent rust stains. I have tried it myself and I believe, that it makes a big difference!





So try it and please let me know if it works for you too.Dishwasher rust! All the metal items I wash in the dishwasher come out with rust spots on. can anyone help?
Mine does that too with the knives. I thought they may have just been in there once too often.Dishwasher rust! All the metal items I wash in the dishwasher come out with rust spots on. can anyone help?
make sure that everything you put in is dishwasher safe, and if they are still wet when the dishwasher has finished dry them off before putting them away. Also rinse any really stubborn stains off before you put them in the dishwasher.
Make sure the things aint touching each other as mixing silver and stainless steel can cause oxidisation on the metals also if u are putting anything egg based in the dishwasher make sure u rinse it out before putting it in to the dishwasher as this can cause a reaction to the metal as well
Search out the prongs/slots that have rust on them. Scrub it off best you can with a brillo pad, let dry. Paint clear nail polish over the same spots. Let dry before using again.
My stainless knives and flatware do the same. Someone told me to stop using the detergent with lemon or orange. He said the acids with eat away at spots causing the rust.

I have rust water, is there anything I can do to my keep my white clothes in the wash from turning orange?

Is there any kind of detergent or something else, I can put in the washer that will repel the rust in the water from depositing on my white clothes?I have rust water, is there anything I can do to my keep my white clothes in the wash from turning orange?
Well water, been there, done that ! It was horrible. Tea was purple, coffee went green when cream was added, ice cubes had little puddles of rust in the bottom, cauliflower was rust-y.


Only ruined 1 load of whites by adding bleach = Q





A product called Calgon saved the day for the laundry. Add a bit to the wash cycle and be very sure not to miss the rinse cycle !! An in-line filter (hardware stores, Home Depot, etc.) gave some relief. Had to change the filters twice as often as they said. The real solution was a reverse osmosis filtration. Don't know how I got along without it !I have rust water, is there anything I can do to my keep my white clothes in the wash from turning orange?
Try get a water softener or a revise osmosis filter for your washer. If you can't get one try oxy clean, vinegar, and you may have to take your whites to laundry mat.
mmm,I'd personally try and repair the rust problem,,however, have you ever heard of calloidal silver. get it from a chemist.Once had a 3000 gallon water tank full of bugs which carried through to the taste of the water..I used a small jar of colloidal silver and it completely refreshed the water, both cleanliness and taste.
i wash my own clothes too but the only thing i could think of was to put bleach in the wash.
You need to somehow get rid of the rust water %26amp; until you do, your clothes will all be discolored badly. There are no products on the market that will keep your clothes white in the meantime. Call a plumber to discuss what he can do %26amp; for how much. If you have well water, do you not have a tank that uses salt pellets %26amp; gets rid of the rust?
try doing 1 wash with only a cup of vinegar. no soap and no clothes. for the clothes that are already rust stained, rub with a lemon, and keep out in the sun, the stains will fade.


good luck
I use ';Iron Out'; to clean rust stains from our clothing.





Although it's hard on clothing, just like bleach, it works. Also use it to clean rust stains from inside your washing machine, dishwashers, and toilets.





Get an iron removal system if possible for your place and reduce problems with appliances too.
bleach! although you will have to do a only white load of laundry for it to work
Omg! You need to get your pipes fixed! Rust water can be dangerous! I think you may have more worries than your clothes turning orange...

Does galvenized steel rust? I found an old wash sink from a garage sale. I mean to keep it outside.?

As long as the coating is not damaged, it should not rust. Being a sink, it probably has a thicker coating of zinc than regular sheet metal.Does galvenized steel rust? I found an old wash sink from a garage sale. I mean to keep it outside.?
galvanized steel will rust if it is kept wet for too long of a period of time. When kept wet the zinc starts to oxidize and will form a ';white rust';. It looks like a white powdery residue on top of the plating. If it is not kept in a wet environment then the coating will last for many years until the zinc eventually ';wears off';. if you do have any concerns then they do make a galvanized paint that contains high levels of zinc and does a very good job of protecting the mild steel under the coating. eventually though the zinc will wear off and black steel will be exposed and it will rust.Does galvenized steel rust? I found an old wash sink from a garage sale. I mean to keep it outside.?
It shouldn't.
They are OK until you scrap the coating off or scratch it and bust through the zinc. Then they start to rust.





but hey, for a yard sale, what do you want? Go ahead and use it if it rusts then paint it with a rust proofing paint.





Good luck
It will rust when the zinc plating wears off.

My washer put little rust colored spots on my work clothes! I am scared to wash now. Is there anything I c?

the spots are tiny and concentrated on a few areas and only showed up on my work clothes...weird. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem with my washer? I've heard that I should put lemon juice on the spots and dry them in the sun, but I am more worried about future washesMy washer put little rust colored spots on my work clothes! I am scared to wash now. Is there anything I c?
Rust is your problem. Look inside the drum for spots that the zippers, metal buttons, or accessories from clothing have either scratched or gouged the surface. Sometimes they will only appear as black spots and don't really look rusty. Head over to the home improvement store and look for appliance touch up paint with rust inhibitors. Touch up those areas you found in the drum where the paint chipped off and let it dry thoroughly before running a load through. This will protect your garments in future loads. Check the drum everytime you wash something with metal buttons, zippers, or attachments that could damage or take paint off the washer drum surface and re-treat with the appliance paint to prevent this in the future.





You can use lemon juice on clothing that is light colored to remove rust, but not on dark colors, because it will bleach out the area. Rit, Wink, Mostenbockers all have rust removers that can be found in the laundry aisle at the discounters which are colorsafe.My washer put little rust colored spots on my work clothes!

get a new washer, the gearbox is leaking. a service tech might fix it but washers are so cheap these days, its usually not worth fixing.

  • Is it OK to wash my car with rust-flaked water?

    When I turn on the water outside, I see several flakes of rust up to the diameter of a nickel come out. Would washing my car with this water be harmful to the paint?Is it OK to wash my car with rust-flaked water?
    No. It's bad for your car








    http://www.toboc.com/2/608371/102838/Exporter.aspxIs it OK to wash my car with rust-flaked water?
    Probably so. Those rust flakes would act just like an abrasive against your paint.You might want to try flushing out that spigot until no more rust from inside the pipe comes out.
    It would be like sandblasting your car with water. If it does it inside your house too....I would get that checked out. I wouldn't be drinking or bathing in that kind of water.
    yes it would scratch the paint but forget about the car you have a major pipe issue it sounds like galvinised pipe its going to rust out soon call a plummer or rent owner good luck
    I wouldn't. Those pieces of rust would act like sand paper against the paint. You wouldn't wash your car with sand paper, would you?
    Of course it could harm your paint. Have you let the water run for a few minutes to see if it clears up?

    Can you Power Wash rust off a bike?

    If you cant can you tell me how i can remove rust from pegs, chains, and the little bars the pedals are on. (what are they)Can you Power Wash rust off a bike?
    You shouldn't power wash (pressure wash) bikes in general. It will force water into the bearings.Can you Power Wash rust off a bike?
    No - Power Washing will make the rust worse.


    use oil and a rough cloth and this will minimise the rust.


    If its really bad you may have to use sandpaper or emery paper (a fine grit paper that is more gentle)

    The most effective method I have tried for surface rust on a bike is an SOS pad.
    clr - (calcium lime rust remover) - and steel wool.
