Rust should definitely be removed quickly, as it unfortunately continues to spread. Over time, it can even decompose metal. If the rust has not yet 'eaten' deep into the metal, it can often be removed with simple household remedies. Here we have some tips for removing rust.

Household remedies for removing rust

Lemon juice

To remove rust stains from white fabrics, hot lemon juice is recommended. But be careful with delicate textiles.

Baking powder

Another possibility is to moisten the stain on white Clothing slightly and rub it with baking powder. Then wash as normal.

Vinegar

With vinegar, rust stains on Clothing and on metal can be removed. The rule here is that it should always be diluted, for example with water or oil. Undiluted, it would attack the material too strongly.

Borax and vinegar

Rust stains in the bathtub can be made to disappear with a mixture of borax (available in health food stores, eco-supermarkets, or pharmacies) and vinegar. Apply this paste thickly and let it sit for about 1 hour, then wash off thoroughly.
