1. Use a Rust Remover or Oxalic Acid Cleaner
Rust removers or cleaners containing oxalic acid are highly effective at breaking down iron-based stains.
Apply the cleaner directly to the stained areas, following the product instructions. Rinse thoroughly after treatment.
2. Try Lemon Juice and Salt
Create a paste using lemon juice and table salt.
Rub the paste onto the stained areas and let it sit for 30 minutes before rinsing. The citric acid in lemon juice helps dissolve mineral deposits.
3. Vinegar Soak
Fill a basin with equal parts white vinegar and warm water.
Soak the stained towels for 1–2 hours, then launder as usual. Vinegar helps neutralize minerals and break down residues.
4. Baking Soda and Hydrogen Peroxide Paste
Mix baking soda with hydrogen peroxide to form a thick paste.
Apply the paste to the stains, let it sit for an hour, and scrub gently before washing.
5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals on stained towels, as these can worsen the
discoloration.
