How to choose the clothes washing agent in the store?

When purchasing the product from stains of rust in the nearest supermarket, keep in mind that ordinary chlorine or any other primitive bleach will not work for a white shade of fabric. They just make them brown or brown, and not bleached. And then you can not get rid of them already.

Choose products that include acetic or oxalic acid. Carefully read what is written on the packaging to see if the product is suitable for your product.

Important! Absolutely any household chemistry, including one that is designed to remove stains from rust, should be used only in gloves.

In order to remove the rust stain from your clothes once and for all, apply the substance to the soiled area, carefully rub it until the foam forms, and then rinse under cool running water.

Important! If the manufacturer advises you to hold the mixture on for a while, it's better to do so. Even very old and stubborn stains of rust can not withstand such a procedure.
