Carbona Stain Devils® #9 | Rust & Perspiration | Professional Strength Laundry Stain Remover | Multi-Fabric Cleaner | Safe On Skin & Washable Fabrics | 1.7 Fl Oz, 1 Pack

Okay. It seems a bit pricey, but trust me when I say a little of this product goes a long way. I first used it this summer, and dabbed just a little on some sunscreen and rust stains on a pair of white linen shorts. I let it sit for an hour, per the instructions on the bottle. I laundered the shorts on a delicate cycle, hung them to dry, and was delighted to see the stains were gone. Fast forward to this week, when disaster struck - we had a water outage in my building while I was doing laundry, which included my beautiful white Wolford bodysuit. I stopped the machine, and restarted it when the water was restored.... and found, when I took my laundry out, that a lot of copper had been come in with the water. My beautiful bodysuit was now a dingy orange-y brown. With the garment still damp, I put on rubber gloves, stoppered up the sink, and poured the bottle slowly over the blouse. I didn't think there would be enough product, but I would pour a little, and squeeze it gently through the garment. Then more product, then careful squeezing through the top, trying to make sure I got the stain remover everywhere on my blouse. I was very excited to see the blouse looking cleaner within ten minutes. I let it sit in the sink for an hour - but I went back at 8-10 minute intervals, to turn the garment over (sopping up the little bit of liquid at the bottom of the sink, and making sure to gently work the product through the blouse). At the end of an hour, my blouse was sparkling white again. I rinsed the blouse in several sinkfuls of water, then I hand-washed it (as I normally do), squeezing gentle soap through it. I rinsed it several times, and let it dry on a flat rack. And I got my blouse back! I AM SO HAPPY WITH THIS PRODUCT. It isn't cheap, but it WORKS. Worth every penny. You don't need the garment to be soaking wet and dripping. You just need to put some gloves on, apply enough of the liquid to cover the stain, and then gently work the product throughout the stain you're trying to lift. Please note that this product is very liquid, like a water-consistency, and will pour out of the bottle fast.

I ordered this to use on sunscreen stains from avobenzone sunscreen that showed up after washing a white shirt. The stain disappeared after 10-15 minutes. I have well water that is rust heavy. The stain came back after washing again but everytime I used carbona #9 the stain would get lighter and lighter until it stopped coming back all together.

Doesn’t work.

It does get out sweat stains pretty well, but the bottle is tiny and it requires using enough to soak the effected area. I get a lot of ring around the collar, and was hoping to use this for it. Unfortunately I used about half a bottle on one shirt. Gonna stick with something cheaper like an oxyclean paste instead, and maybe use this for stains that are harder to get out.

Got this to try and fix a favorite t-shirt’s crusted armpits from deodorant build up. Needed some serious scrubbing power but it worked really well.

I recently learned that a chemical in sunscreen can react with iron or copper in water—like in well water—to create rusty stains on clothing. I had tried everything to remove these burnt orange stains from my shirt and bathing suit. I used multiple stain removers, soaked the clothes in vinegar, washed them repeatedly with various stain-fighting products—nothing worked. I even had to dry the clothes because I had a flight the next day, and I was ready to throw them out. As a last resort, I ordered this product, though I didn’t have high expectations. When it arrived, I was a bit disappointed by how small it was. But I dabbed it onto the stains, let it sit for an hour, and to my surprise, the stains vanished completely! I wish I had taken a before picture to show the dramatic difference, especially on the collar, which was intensely orange. This product saved my clothes—I couldn’t be happier!

Stuff is amazing to get rid of deodorant armpit stains. My wardrobe consists of mostly black tees and I can only use antiperspirant deodorant(aluminum hence the rust removal necessity) but as regular deodorant burns my skin. Of course over time the deo builds up and leaves the white residue. Use this as directed and it gets rid of the white residue. You might need a few bottles of this though as it is a small quantity and meant to be more like small stain remover.

Worked really well to remove the dots of rust from my off white shirt! I didn’t even need to soak it for an hour like the instructions said. The dots of rust was removed after about 15 min.
