Brilio.net - White clothes do have their own charm because they give a clean and elegant impression. However, white is also a 'canvas' that is easily seen as dirty if stained. Not infrequently, even though you are careful, stains still appear and reduce the charm of the clothes. One stain that is often difficult to overcome is rust stains.
Rust stains usually appear due to contact with rusty iron objects or from water containing iron. Once attached to the fabric fibers, these stains tend to be difficult to remove. Regular washing with detergent is often not effective enough, and can even make the stain spread further.
Although it seems difficult, it does not mean that rust stains cannot be removed. There is a special method that can be practiced when washing these white clothes. An Instagram user @safaralles once explained it more clearly through one of the videos uploaded.

As reported by brilio.net on Tuesday (4/2), Instagram user @safaralles did not use detergent or soap. However, the cleaning agent used was bathroom cleaning fluid. Well, this fluid can remove stubborn stains, such as rust on fabric fibers. However, it should be noted that the use of the fluid cannot be careless so that the fabric or clothes are not damaged.

So, first, wet the clothes with water first. After that, drop this bathroom cleaner directly onto the stained area. Just give 2-3 drops and let it sit for 20 minutes.

Well, after leaving it for 20 minutes, the rust stains will disappear completely. You can rinse these white clothes with running water. Then, wash the clothes as usual with enough detergent. That way, the clothes will be brighter and cleaner without any remaining stains.
In addition to using bathroom cleaning fluid, you can also remove rust stains in other ways. One effective method is using white vinegar or lemon juice.
To do this, drop vinegar or lemon juice directly onto the stained area, then let it sit for 510 minutes for the acid to work to dissolve the rust. Then, sprinkle a little salt over the stain and scrub gently with a soft brush or your finger.
If the stain is still stubborn, the clothes can be dried in the sun for a few minutes to help the natural stain removal process. After that, rinse with clean water and wash as usual using detergent. For more difficult stains, you can also use a mixture of baking soda and water as a cleaning paste, then apply it to the stain before washing. In this way, rust stains can be removed without damaging the white color of the clothes.
