The problem area should be moistened with this “chemistry”, kept in this state for several minutes, and then washed in the normal mode. In the same way, an unwanted stain is removed from a strong white fabric with bleach.

It is “shown” for white shirts and shirts, which are “encroached” by rust, but under certain circumstances there remains the threat of a red spot turning into an indelible dark one.

But chlorinated compounds will not work for colored fabrics. They can destroy dyes. With jeans, a rusty stain is best wiped away without the use of chemical acids, but with the help of natural lemon juice. He is not so aggressive and will not ruin the color of jeans.

For a day at the place of pollution we keep a creamy gruel, then we wash our clothes. Acetic acid is quite acceptable for cleaning colored things, because it fixes the paint. Pour 5 tablespoons of acid into 7 liters of water and soak the thing in solution for 12 hours. As a result, we erase, and the stain leaves.

1. Rust is removed from the jacket in the same way as from other colored items.A fresh stain can sometimes just be wiped off with a slice of lemon.
2. To wash a red blot from a woolen clothes will be more difficult. It is better to use a stain remover with a special chemical composition.
3. In the cleaning of wool, it is also recommended to use coal powder with kerosene. The ingredients are taken equally. Next - with a thick layer you need to apply the mixture in place with rust and do not touch for 3 hours.

The additive for dishwashers is suitable for removing both old pollution and fresh. Pour 5 liters of warm water into the container, to it - 100 ml of dishwashing liquid and 120 ml of glycerin. Lower the contaminated clothing, cover the container with polyethylene and leave it for 5 hours. Then transfer the item to the washing machine and wash, as usual.

Do not soak rust-contaminated clothing. Rust is iron oxides. Spots can creep in water. In order not to rub the pollution, use it by any means, brushes and just hands. Move from the edge of the problem spot to the center. It is safer to work with rubber gloves.

Before starting the fight against the stain, brush off any dust from the item. Apply any composition from the inside out.
