Question:

Rust stains on blue carpet?

I have some rust stains on my blue carpet. Does anybody know the best method to remove them?

Answer:

It's important to keep the area around metal furniture legs dry. If not, we might end up with rust stains on our carpets. These unsightly orange stains can set in and become a permant part of the décor if we don't act quickly enough. It's best to act immediately upon seeing the stain. To remove carpet stains caused by rust, it's best to use an acid-based cleaner. Vinegar and lemon juice work well for this task because they're both contain acids. A cleaner containing oxalic acid will also work at cleaning carpet stains such as rust...
Yes lemon juice from a lemon is what the carpet manufacturers say ti use.GL
sweetpea is right. One product that works REALLY well is Whink, in the laundry aisle. BUT check in an inconspicuous place. Some carpets are not color fast.
Anyplace that sells carpet cleaning chemicals will sell rust remover for carpets. Its usually hydroflouric acid. Very simple to use.
