Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 273, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 November 1910 — Removal of Rust Stains. [ARTICLE]

Removal of Rust Stains.

Anything that will remove the rust stain will also take away color with It One part of citric acid to one part water will take out the rust stain, but acids also destroy the color, therefore it is only suited to white goods. After using the solution the rinsing should be very thoroughly done. Sometimes a weak solution of ammonia and water will restore the color to faded fabrics. If you have a scrap of the blue you might experiment in turn with the acid and the ammonia.
