rust stain on carpet?

So, our coffee table apparently has small metal dots on the bottoms of the legs that left beautiful rust stains on the beige carpet.  Any suggestions that might get this out?

Re: rust stain on carpet?

  • I have heard that white vinegar removes rust.. I would try it in the corner behind the couch first, but just mix it with baking soda to make a paste, put it on the spot, rub it in with your fingers and let it dry..  Vacuum it when dry, and remove the residue with a warm, damp rag.  This should do the trick, but spot test first so you don't discolor your carpet.  Good Luck!

  • There is a product called Whink rust remover. I have used it on many surfaces, and it cleans rust off with just a few drops. I can get it at my local grocery store, and I know it is available online.

    It cleans rust off of just about any surface, including carpeting.

    You may want to paint those metal discs on the bottom of your table with clear nail polish to seal it, and prevent this from happening again.
