    You might try this:

    a) Soak in lemon juice and salt or oxalic solution (3 Tbs. oxalic acid to 1 Pt. warm water.)

    b)Table salt and cream of tarter, equal parts, will remove rust stains. Wet the spot and spread the mixture on thickly, then place the material in the sun.

    There are a couple rust removal products located in the laundry isle - can't vouch for them, but know they are available. Oxi Clean is a good product for getting fabric clean.
