Stitches

How do I remove burn/rust stains from a crochet tablecloth?

I have received an old crochet white tablecolth that has some brown stains. I have tried washing it in warm water with bleach and the stains are still there. I am not sure if they are burn stains or rust stains. Need to know if I can save this.

1. Try this: http://members.tripod.com/~Barefoot_Lass/
2. There are also several commercial products available that are designed to remove rust stains, such as Zud or Whink. If the item is white, you could also apply lemon juice to the stain, rub with salt, and let it bleach in the sun.
3. Apply undiluted lemon juice and lay the tablecloth in the sun.
4. There is a product called "RedbGone" That you can buy online. It is wonderful for getting such stains out of you laundry! You put it in the washer ans soak for about 10 minutes then add your regular laundry soap and finish the wash cycle. Cost is about $&7.00 per bottle.
