No sun? No problem. Grab a bottle of white vinegar—the cheap stuff that smells like regret and old socks. Soak the stained area in vinegar for about 10–15 minutes. Then, sprinkle a little baking soda on top for fizzing fun. The fizz helps lift the rust out of the fibers. After that, rinse with cold water and repeat if needed. It works best on cotton and denim, but test on a hidden spot first—silk will throw a fit.
Fun fact: white vinegar is also great for cleaning coffee pots, removing stickers, and convincing your houseplants you’re a good gardener. But for rust, it’s a legit hero.
