    I have not tried it but I read online that mixing hydrogen peroxide and baking soda into a paste and rubbing it into the spot should work.

    Be careful with the Wink. The wife of my dh's co-worker accidentally spilled some of it on their tile floor in the kitchen, permanently damaging the tile. They ended up replacing the entire floor.

    I use Bar Keeper's Friend, found in the grocery store, by the Ajax and Comet.

    Using a soft toothbrush, get the fabric wet, Rub some product in to the stain, and scrub with a soft toothbrush. It effectively removes rust stains from clothing.

    I used to have a washing machine where the drum had chips in it, and those chips turned to rust. If i let my clothes sit in the chipped tub too long, I got rust stains on everything. It was awful. Bar Keeper's Friend was an inexpensive way to get the rust out of my laundry. I was so glad to get rid of that washer!

    Hope this helps.

    Hanks for this thread. I have just used my iron which has made a dirty mark on my fabric. No idea what it is but products mentioned sound great.
