How many stains do you have on this carpet? First it was ink stains, then hair dye stains, now rust stains? Time to get a new carpet I think. 

Things You'll Need
Dishwashing Detergent
Spray Bottles
White Hand Towels
Lemon Juices
Paper Towels
Utility Knives
Paper towels

Instructions

1
Try to scrape off as much of the rust as you can with a dull utility knife blade.

2
Saturate the entire stain with lemon juice (fresh-squeezed or bottled) sprayed from a spray bottle.

3
Allow the juice to remain for at least 5 minutes, but no longer than 10 minutes.

4
Blot the stain with a white paper towel. Do not rub the stain in.

5
Use liquid dishwashing detergent on the stain if the lemon juice doesn't do the trick. Thoroughly mix about 1/4 tsp. detergent with 1 quart of water.

6
Apply the detergent mixture to a clean, damp, white towel and gently blot the solution into the stained area until the stain is removed.

7
Spray water onto the area with a spray bottle and blot until the detergent solution and water are gone.

8
Allow the carpet to dry thoroughly before vacuuming.

Tips & Warnings
It's important to use a clean, white towel when blotting the stained area; you don't want dyes from a colored towel to bleed into the carpet.

If the stain has been present for some time and does not come up, contact a professional carpet cleaner.
