2. When there is no citric acid, you can use a simple lemon. Cut off the lobule, peel it and wrap it in a piece of clean gauze. Attach it to the stain from the rust and iron it well. Be sure to put a few paper napkins or a clean cloth to the underside of clothes, so that all the muck was interrupted there, and not the clothes themselves. After the procedure, always wash the thing in warm water.

Pour two tablespoons of vinegar into a glass of water and heat the liquid. But, as in the case with citric acid, you can not bring it to a boil. Then in a warm liquid we lower a piece of fabric with a rusty stain for five minutes, and then wash in a solution of ammonia (half a tablespoon per liter of water).
4. Instead of the essence, you can also use the most common table vinegar. Mix it with salt so that a thick gruel will turn out, and then apply it to the contaminated area. Give things to lie down for about thirty minutes, and then pour out in warm water.
5. To remove a rusty stain from a colored fabric, stock up with wine vinegar. In a glass of cold water, pour out a teaspoon of vinegar and soak the spot for about 10 minutes in this liquid, and then rinse the clothes in running water at room temperature.
