Question: Why Do I Have Rust Stains on Laundry?
Rust stains on laundry are frustrating and hard to remove. Learn how to track down the source of the problem and how to remove the stains.
Answer:
Rust stains can appear on laundry from two sources:
- A water source loaded with iron bacteria causing ugly discoloration and stains on kitchen, bathroom and laundry fixtures and equipment, as well as on dishes and laundered items.
- Rusty water heaters, pipes or water storage containers - staining is more sporadic and occurs only occasionally.
