What are the best methods to remove rust stains from canvas outdoor loungers?

Rust stains on canvas outdoor loungers can be unsightly and difficult to remove, but with the right methods, you can restore your furniture's appearance. Here are the most effective DIY solutions:

1. White Vinegar and Baking Soda – Mix equal parts white vinegar and water, spray on the stain, then sprinkle baking soda. Scrub gently with a soft brush and rinse.

2. Lemon Juice and Salt – Apply lemon juice directly to the stain, sprinkle salt, and let it sit for 30 minutes before scrubbing and rinsing.

3. Commercial Rust Removers – Use a rust-specific cleaner, following the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid damaging the canvas.

4. Oxalic Acid Solution – Dilute oxalic acid in water, apply to the stain, wait 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

Always test any solution on a small, hidden area first and avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent fabric damage. Regular maintenance and protective covers can help prevent future rust stains.
