3. Sour milk
Have a rust stain on your colored clothes or shoes? Sour milk is about to be your best friend. The bacteria in sour milk can break up rust stains. Fill a bucket or tub with sour milk and let your clothes or shoes soak in it. Keep it in overnight, rinse it out and then put it through the wash. Once you take your clothes or shoe out of the washing machine, the stain will more than likely be completely gone.
4. Lemon and boiling water
Rust stains on your leather shoes? Then it’s probably best to avoid the aforementioned tips. What you can do, however, is rub lemon juice on the stain and then hold your shoes over a kettle with boiling water. The combination of steam from the boiling water and lemon juice will slowly dissolve the stain.
5. Cream of tartar
Cream of tartar is often used for baking, especially in America. But did you know that it’s also good for cleaning? Combine it with the right ingredients and in no time you’ve got a homemade cleanser.
Make a paste using a teaspoon of cream of tartar, a teaspoon of baking soda, and a few drops of hydrogen peroxide. Test it out on a small area of the clothing first because this cleaner can also lead to stains. If that doesn’t seem to be the case, spread it out on the stain and let it sit for 30 minutes. Rinse it out thoroughly. Let the clothing dry and repeat the process until the stain is completely gone.
