Rosehip Sep 2020 8:30pm, 17 Sep 2020 17,791 posts	0 Rosehip and iron is slightly soluble in water, iron oxide has v little solubility - It might work (aluminium oxide is white, so shouldn't stain a white fabric visibly)

LazyDaisy Sep 2020 8:04pm, 22 Sep 2020 31,156 posts	0 LazyDaisy The lemon juice and sunlight definitely made a big difference. It hasn't gone completely but it is much, much fainter. I tried again the next day and there was no perceptible difference. I also tried Stain Devils Rust remover on another patch which hadn't had the lemon juice treatment, and I think it had some effect but not as much as the lemon/sunlight one. I couldn't find any Bio-tex but soaked the second patch in Vanish Oxi-action and that's helped. Having washed the shawl several times now I think it's in an acceptable state I know where the (now very faint) stains are, but it would easily escape the notice of anyone else. Thank you, everyone who has commented!
