Would RecommendI happened across a YouTube video which showed how this product worked. Living in a home with a great deal of iron in our water, we had a lot of iron stains in our commodes. I'd tried other products and, some even worked but required a lot of elbow grease. I was skeptical that something just setting in the water would clean but, I was proven wrong. Following the label directions, it worked amazingly well. So well, in fact, I broadcast my new find to the neighborhood website. Received lots...

Great for the water softener
I really like using Iron Out in with the salt in the brine tank of our water softener. With a high iron count, we need to keep the iron cleaned out. Iron out helps us keep our softener working. The only thing I would like to see is a larger bottle back on the market.

Smells Bad but Gets out the Rust
Would RecommendI use for certain whites with rust stains, sweat stains, and yellowing from using sunscreen in the laundry. It is a fine powder that comes up at you when you pour it, so I just dump an amount directly in the machine and close the door. It smells terrible. But, you just let it soak the clothes for 5-10 minutes. Then, add your detergent and finish the wash. Even cleans the white socks which seem to be worn as shoes at times by my family. Overall process of removing stains goes quicker with t...

Rust Remover
Would RecommendWe are using this stuff for our whites sheets and t shirts, but wow, have we found it helpful for many other places that have rust stains. We have very hard water, so every 2 months I add some to the toilet tank and leave it over night. The inside of the tank looks new now. So we now are testing it all over, and it has come out on top over many over rust removal products. We now only use Iron Out or Iron Ike.

Great stain remover
Would RecommendI use iron out for cleaning baseball pants. It is great. I have twins that are constantly getting their pants dirty from sliding into base. This product is GREAT at getting out the red sand from white baseball pants. That is my only use for iron out.

Worked Magic on my Hard Well Water Toilet
Would RecommendThis stuff is awesome. I had tried the other rust products and nothing worked. My toilets were especially bad because the house sat empty for 6 months before I bought it. I live in Alaska and my well water is quite hard. I poured it in the toilet, let it sizzle and fizz for a bit then scrubbed and left it for a couple hours. Pictures are before, during fizz and after a couple hours. I also purchased the iron out toilet tank tablets but just put them in yesterday so can’t comment on those.

Would RecommendI live in an area with red well water and soil. I have a water salt system and this helps. Still does not resolve the problem completely but does help.
