    The best way to get rust stains out of your clothing is to use a lemon, or table salt and cream of tarter.

    Lemon

    •To use a lemon, lay your garment on a flat surface on top of a towel.

    •Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the rust stain. (If you do not have a lemon, you can use bottled lemon juice, it works just as well.)

    •Lay your garment in the sun and allow it to dry.

    •Once your garment has dried, look to see if the rust stain has lifted. If it has not, repeat the process.
    •If the rust stain is removed, launder your garment.

    You can get rid of lipstick stains by applying some non-gel toothpaste to the mark. Rub the toothpaste well into the garment, then wash as usual.

    If this doesn´t work, try using a dry-cleaning solvent. To do this, put the item down on an old towel, apply the solvent and use an edge of the towel to soak up solvent and stain. Launder as usual. If any color remains, try using ammonia and water…

    If the above home remedies don’t work, and I hope they do, two stain removal products you should have on hand are Whink Rust Remover (brown bottle) and Motsenbocker’s Lift Off (available at hardware stores, Home Depot, etc) Lift Off has 5 different formulas for various products, but numbers 1,2 and 3 easily cover 99% of a household stains. There’s a nifty little kit with all three products which is idea! It’s either #1 or #2 that specifies it removes lipstick.

    Remove Rust Stains from Clothing

    Things You’ll Need:

    paper towels or an old rag
    lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
    cream of tartar
    cleaning agent containing oxalic acid
    ie:"Bar Keeper’s Friend"

    Step1
    Always begin with the easiest method. Put several pieces of paper towels or an old rag behind the clothing of where the rust stain is. Cover the stain generously in lemon juice (bottled or fresh), do not dilute.

    Step2
    Lay the piece of clothing in the sun, until the lemon juice has completely dried. Then wash regularly in the laundry. If the stain remains try the following steps.

    Step3
    Only in the clothing is white, boil the in a mixture of cream of tartar and water.

    Step4
    The mixture is 1 tablespoon of cream of tartar to 1 cup of water. After boiling wash regularly again in the laundry.
    Step5If this still does not remove the stain, try an oxalic acid cleaning detergent.
    Bar Keeper’s Friend is a great one to use.

    Remove Lipstick Stains From Fabric

    Things You’ll Need:

    White Soft Dry Cloth
    Denatured Alcohol
    Stain Brushes
    Stain Removers
    Dishwashing Liquid

    Step1
    Dab stain very lightly with denatured alcohol using a soft, white cloth.

    Step2
    Rub dishwashing detergent gently into the stain with your finger.

    Step3
    Try using a stain stick and leaving it on for several minutes before washing, if the mark is stubborn.

    Step4
    Wash fabric as usual. It would be best to air dry the garment so that the stain does not set in. This way you can take it to the dry cleaner if it does not come out.

    Step5
    Ask your dry cleaner for help if all else fails.
    _____________________

    Tips :

    If you are out and don’t have access to alcohol, leave the stain alone until you get home. If you’re desperate, try dabbing it with cold water.

    Remember to dab, not rub, as rubbing can ground in the stain.

    Remember if a fabric is dry clean only it is best to take it to your dry cleaner. Do not pretreat. Pretreating can make the cleaning process hard for your cleaners and hinder them from removing the stain for you.
