rust stains
Oxidation left behind
Rust stains are reddish-brown discolorations left by oxidized iron.
They appear on fabric, porcelain, concrete, and other surfaces that contact rusted metal or iron-rich water: The old pipes left rust stains in the sink.
Rust stains are notoriously difficult to remove, often requiring specialized cleaners rather than ordinary bleach.
