Shirt stain question?

Question

O.K so i wash clothes that didn't have stains before i washed them and then after it had like this rust-ish color on the shirts this has happened to about 4 of my shirts over periods of times. My dad said he will be more carefull not mixing colors too much is that the problem?

Answer 1

I have had similar things happen in the laundry -- and the stain is always rust-colored and won't come out.

I believe what caused my stains was actually rust in an old washer or dryer. Search the tub of your washer and dryer for areas where the enamel has been chipped off and the metal underneath is rusting.  It might also help to run the washer through a rinse cycle before doing your laundry.

Rust stains often also come from ironing.  The internal parts of some irons will rust after time, and sometimes iron is deposited in the tank from the water.  In either case, it will come out on clothes when there is water in the iron.

If it is rust, it might come out with a little CLR or Lime-Away.  Test a spot first.
