Stains you bet. I have an expensive lab coat with a custom IC logo on
the back
while the front is rusting orange. Been that way for 38 years and who
knows how
many washings and bleaching. I thought maybe I could find a chemical
that turns
Iron color into blue. I want to say there is one - and maybe it is
soluble in water
or something I could use to clean the coat once and for all. That's life.
