Brilio.net - White clothing is always a favorite choice for many people because it gives a clean, elegant, and simple impression. In addition, white is also easy to combine with various types of clothing, both for formal and casual purposes. However, behind its attractive appearance, white clothing has one drawback: it is very susceptible to stains that make it look dull.
One of the most difficult stains to remove from white clothes is rust stains. This type of stain usually appears because the fabric comes into contact with a rusty metal object or is splashed with water that contains high iron. Once attached to the fabric fibers, rust stains can settle firmly and are not easy to clean even after repeated washing.
Many people think the only solution to clean rust stains on clothes is to use bleach. In fact, excessive use of bleach can actually damage the fabric fibers, making them thinner faster, and even leaving yellowish marks. Not to mention the price of bleach which is quite expensive if used routinely.
In fact, there is a simple and cheap trick to remove rust spots on white clothes, without having to buy special cleaning products or bleach. Reported by brilio.net from YouTube NYONYA LAUNDRY on Saturday (3/29), this trick only requires toothpaste as the main ingredient, which costs no more than Rp2 thousand per sachet. In addition to being cheap, toothpaste is also safe for the skin and does not damage the fabric fibers.

How to clean it is also very easy and practical. First, clothes that are stained with rust are simply smeared with toothpaste on the stained part. Make sure the toothpaste covers the entire surface of the stain so that the cleaning process is more effective. Toothpaste will work as a cleaner because it contains mild abrasive substances that can lift dirt from the surface of the fabric.
After being applied, the rust stains on the fabric need to be scrubbed using an old toothbrush. First, wet the toothbrush with a little water so that the toothpaste can spread more easily and absorb into the fabric fibers. Rub gently in a circular motion so that the fabric fibers are not damaged. Do this process several times until the stains appear to fade.

If the stain is still stubborn, repeat the steps of applying toothpaste and brushing it again. Usually, in a few tries, the rust stain will disappear completely. Once the stain is gone, rinse the cloth with clean water until all the toothpaste residue is completely removed. This rinsing process is important so that there is no paste residue left behind and causes the fabric to become stiff when dry.
With this simple method, white clothes that previously looked dull and stained with rust can be clean again as before. Without having to bother soaking clothes in bleach, you only need toothpaste for Rp2 thousand and an old toothbrush to restore the clean appearance of clothes.

Now, no need to worry anymore if you find rust spots on your favorite white clothes. Just follow the simple steps above, your clothes will be clean again without having to spend a lot of money or time.
