How do you take rust stains out of carpets
Carpet cleaners treat rust stains with a special acid, it must be rinsed/extracted from the carpet after the rust dissolves.
You can remove rust stains with regular White Vinegar. If the rug is machine-washable, douse the area with vinegar. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Then launder as usual. If the rug is not machine washable, again douse the area with vinegar. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Then scrub the area with shaving cream. Remove the shaving cream with a clean wet rag. It doesn't matter which brand of shaving cream you use...as long as it's the regular white shaving cream. Shaving cream is nothing but whipped soap that rinses out easily. The last thing you want to use on a rug or carpet is overly sudsy soap. -
