Flushing Season Brings Rust and Iron Stains

Even though it isn't a holiday season, it nonetheless occurs every spring and fall.

It's flushing season when towns and cities flush their water mains to help clear out silt that has built up in the pipes. When you notice city workers turning on fire hydrants throughout the city, flushing season has arrived.

Flushing season presents a challenge since some minerals and silt might enter your home's water supply. While not harmful, this might cause some unsightly, rusty stains in toilet bowls, sinks, and particularly on your laundry.

At that point, the challenge becomes finding a cleaner that will safely remove the stains. After all, the flushing season will return the following year.

Rust and iron stains in sinks, basins, and toilet bowls are difficult to remove with typical household cleaners. The widely used oxy-based laundry additives are not very effective at removing spots and stains that are orange in color, and bleach tends to soften the stain but leave behind what cannot be removed.

In contrast to bleaches and acids, reducing agents are used in the formulation of the most efficient treatments for rust and mineral stains. One product, in particular, is a reducing agent with a unique recipe called Super Iron Out. The majority of mass merchandisers, grocers, and home improvement retailers carry it.

Reducing substances alters the chemical composition of iron and rust, turning it into a clear solution that can be easily rinsed away. They are secure and may be applied to anything, including kitchen sinks and toilet bowls. They can also be added to washing machines, dishwashers, and water softeners without risk. They will combat the rust and aid in avoiding new stains.

Iron and rust stains on clothing can be removed with Super Iron Out just as effectively. It safely removes rust stains from all washable materials when used as an addition to washing detergent.
