I have successfully used white vinegar to remove rust stains from clothing and carpet. Spray undiluted vinegar onto the stain and scrub it with a toothbrush. Then I would wash it and add 1/2 cup borax to the wash.

Q: I have a light blue shirt that has faint yellow armpit stains on it (agh, 🙁 gross i know) and i know that vinegar can get rid of those stains on white clothes for sure when you spray it directly on the area and let it set and stuff, but what about vinegar on colored clothes? Will the vinegar discolor my blue shirt? If i cannot use vinegar, what can i use to get rid of those horrible embarrassing armpit spots?thanks for your time 🙂

A: If it’s cotton, white vinegar should actually “set” the dye in the fabric instead of fading the color. Cotton (dresses, shirts, skirts, etc.) with bright colors and patterns can be kept from fading if you wash them first (and later as well) in vinegar water with a little salt tossed in the mix. Let the fabric soak and it sets the dye. It should not cause it to discolor. Vinegar is wonderful and gentle on most all things, a great cleaner. Works on better all cottons, expensive, cheap, etc.
