Try Whink, its available at most hardware and big box stores. The active ingredient is oxalic acid, which Tomas recommended in the post above. My family had well water, loaded with iron when I was a teen. The first time Mom did a load of whites with Clorox the clothes had streaks of rust all over them. The local hardware store recommended Whink to remove the stains. It also works wonders on toilets stained with iron.
After you get the stains out, NEVER use chlorine bleach again, use Oxi Clean in your white loads, or something comparable instead. And be very cafeful using the oxalic acid, its very caustic. HTH, Eddie CLICK HERE TO GO TO ea56's LINK | ||
