Get rust out of carpet ( Self help method )

Professional carpet cleaners know that RUST is one of the easiest stains to remove from carpet.  
Wet the stain by spraying water from a trigger sprayer.  Use Q-Tip to apply Bar Keepers friend or CLR to the rust stained area.  Massage a small amount of Baking soda into the area.  Rinse with water.

Why this works:  Both CLR and Barkeepers Friend have oxalic acid as their main ingredient.  Oxalic acid dissolves rust, and makes it water soluble.
