Bring to boil and simmer them for a few hours. Fresh lemon juice over a spot and direct sunlight will fade the spot as well. Just remember to wash out that juice.<br /><br />Teeee heeee about the sweet towel looking like Doogs and me. If ONLY I was as petite and girly to wear a dress and carry a basket. HA!<br /><br />Love you,<br />Becky<br /><br />PS: Those towels would be adorable on tote bags or aprons.Sweet Cottage Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05585280807777813283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-46903453098013970912009-05-12T20:04:00.000-05:002009-05-12T20:04:00.000-05:00A little belated but Happy Mother's Day....Hope yo...A little belated but Happy Mother's Day....Hope you had a lovely special day...Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074713188145597455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-49982748447329144262009-05-12T06:27:00.000-05:002009-05-12T06:27:00.000-05:00I just found this video for rust stain removal--se...I just found this video for rust stain removal--several options.

A recent product that I am really pleased with is Mrs. Meyers Clean Day Stain Remover. The container talks about pet stains, but I read reviews about using it to soak fabric items. I do that and also put a little in the wash for sheets and light towels. I love the scent too. I can't speak for how to get out rust stains.Lalleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11299403428288111249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-55338203232485629612009-05-11T08:09:00.000-05:002009-05-11T08:09:00.000-05:00Beautiful post Kathy!!!

Love the towels. A reader recommended soaking in Biz to get some stains out when I had some toile that had rust stains on it. I haven't tried it yet so I can't say if it works or not.

I've seen such ugly things out there but always thought I'd make my own from fabric that coordinates with my kitchen. Haven't done it yet.<br /><br />I love old linens and I can never resist when I find them at a good price. Several years ago I attended a seminar by a lady who collects and uses all kinds of vintage things. She told of her formula for getting out stains. I tried it and then found that soaking in Biz (sometimes several times, changing the water often) works well for most things. She told us what she uses for rust stains and I've heard others who are big-time collectors of vintage clothing and linens say the same. You can find a product or two in the store - often the grocery store. Whink makes a liquid and a powdered rust stain remover. Rit, the dye company, also makes one I believe but it's harder to find. I take a cotton swab and 'dab' a bit of Whink on the rust stains and I've had good results. <br /><br />Have a Happy Mother's Day, my friend.<br />~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-8128168006594543682009-05-09T00:32:00.000-05:002009-05-09T00:32:00.000-05:00Happy Mother's day to you...m.Happy Mother's day to you...m.Mary Isabella and Kiley too!https://www.blogger.com/profile/03370938632028789596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-37811438809136125372009-05-08T17:31:00.000-05:002009-05-08T17:31:00.000-05:00Kathleen
