HG stain away 7, rust

My beautiful white cotton summer dress got rust marks from hanging near an old radiator. I tried everything and this was a last resort before I died it navy blue! On initial application I could not see any change so left it, a few hours later it had faded slightly so reapplied. I found the product dried quickly so I put the stained fabric on a clear plastic bag, soaked the stain and wrapped the plastic over the stain and put a book on it to stop it evaporating away. I reapplied 4 times over a 24 hour period and to my utter joy and disbelief the stain has completely gone…I am thrilled! It took the whole bottle but worth every penny!

I used to cringe every time I spotted a rusty mark—whether on my clothes, patio stones, or that random metal garden ornament I just couldn’t let go of. It felt like rust was slowly taking over my life, and I was powerless to stop it. Enter HG Stain Away 7, and suddenly, I’m whispering sweet nothings to a tiny 50ml bottle. First time I tried it, I dabbed a bit on an old shirt that had been a victim of a rusty washing machine drum. Let me tell you, that shirt hadn’t looked this fresh since it came home from the store. I stood there in shock, thinking, “Where have you been all my life?” as the rusty splotch all but melted away. But this product isn’t satisfied with just saving my wardrobe—it wants to take on the whole household. Tiles, flagstone, concrete, natural stone—it’s like the ultimate multi-surface love fest. The minute I saw it erase those grimy, orangey stains from my outdoor steps, I knew we had a special connection. No more scrubbing until my arms ached. Just a little squeeze, a gentle scrub, and those stubborn marks went poof. And guess what? It’s still safe for textiles, so no need to handle it with the caution of a chemistry class. That means I can chase away rust on a shirt, then pivot straight to the flagstones outside, feeling like some sort of stain-destroying superhero who doesn’t need a sidekick. Plus, let’s talk about the size. At 50ml, it’s pretty compact, which means I can keep it tucked in a cupboard or even slip it into a bag when I go on my mission to save the world from rust (or at least my relatives’ patios). It’s all the power I need, distilled into one small but mighty bottle. So if you’re fed up with those unsightly orange marks taunting you day after day, it might be time to invite HG Stain Away 7 into your home. Because once you see how effortlessly it unlocks the iron gates of rust, you’ll realize: there’s no greater thrill than telling a stubborn stain to rust in peace.

I used it on old iron stains on tiles in a washroom. I used toilet tissue to keep the solution on the stains without drying out, and left it for several hours. The stains were greatly reduced, and a second treatment removed them entirely. For extensive stains you need a lot more than this small bottle. But it does work, if you're patient and arrange for it to have plenty of time to work without drying out. The stains I was dealing with were old rust stains that other cleaners didn't touch.

**I’m giving this product 5 stars because the product clearly works with rust but I was buying it to see if it could work for blood and it DIDN’T work.** My husband has eczema, scratches at night and our bedsheets are covered in small blood spots. I’m on a mission to try and remove the stains. I read that once blood has dried on and been washed on anything other than cold it has ‘set’ and turns essentially into a rust stain and this could work. So I tried it on some old set in blood stains on old sheets. I tried putting it on the stains, put cling film around the item to stop it drying out , and left it overnight. Longer than the 2 hours instructed. This morning the stains hadn’t budged even a little bit. As a side note the only thing to budge blood stains is hydrogen peroxide when the item *has not been washed!* then soaking it in an oxygen cleaner like napisan, rinse on cold in the machine and repeat up to 3 times for the stains to go. This works even on colours but can lighten them. Back to the drawing board to find something easier!!

The HG rust stain remover was ineffective and didn't tackle my small rust stain, it also had a bad smell. Furthermore, the bottle was much smaller than I expected so it won't be cost effective if you need to treat several stains.

Brand new pale blue designer label shirt as a Christmas gift. Ironed it on the day to go out with friends for lunchtime beer and my iron leaked rusty water on the front (never leaked before sods law). Stain remover got most of it out after a few washes and thankfully didn't damage the material. Maybe stronger chemicals would have ruined it, I have no idea. Be prepared for the possibility of needing more than one application though.

Worked great on my white England football shirt (wife pegged it out with rusty pegs grrrr) would recommend.

Excellent! Removed years old rust stains from golf towel in two treatments AND it removed rust stains from Karndean flooring… After the success with the towel I decided to try a patch on the rust stains on the floor (paint tins stored for too long), and with a quick scrub with its come up a treat.
