If you have a piece of clothing with reddish-brownish stains that won’t come off in the wash, it’s probably rust stains.

Depending on the stain’s size, it may take a few days in the sun to be completely gone. But don’t worry. It’s not going to take much of your time, as you just need to treat it and leave it -returning once or twice a day to make sure the lemon hasn’t dried completely.
