Rust stains are unique and don’t respond to traditional cleaning agents. But that doesn’t mean that it’s hopeless if you find a rust stain on your fabrics, carpeting or fixtures. Look no further than your pantry!
The acidity of white vinegar or lemon juice plus the abrasiveness of table salt works wonders against rust stains on fixtures {like your sink}.

- Just make a paste of vinegar {or lemon juice} and salt.
- Apply it to the rust stains and work it in with a scrubbing sponge or a brush.
- Let the mixture sit on the stains for at least 30 minutes, to as long as 60 minutes.
After 30 minutes, check the stains. If the rust remains, reapply some fresh salt and vinegar and soak again. Continue to repeat this simple process until the stains are gone.

Rust stains on clothing or other washable fabrics also need the acidity of vinegar or lemon juice to remove them.
- Either soak the stain with white vinegar, or cut a lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the stain. Rub the stain with the cut side of the lemon.
- Blot the stain with a clean cloth.
- Place the fabric outside in a sunny spot. Once the stain shows signs of fading, toss it in the laundry and wash as usual.
