One of the most common reasons for getting rust stains on your clothes is an old safety pin. Safety pins are great for tightening clothes or keeping them in place, but always remember to remove them after use, as they can rust and stain the fabric. Doing a renovation and DIY project are also common reasons for getting rust stains on your clothing. It is a bit challenging to get rid of the stains as they don’t get removed with just regular washing.
