Is there any home remedies to get these weird orange or rust stains out of clothes?

These stains are like a weird orange and brownish color and every time I put in a certain sweatshirt it gets more and more of these stains but none of my other clothes to also the washer and dryer are brand new. So if you know anything to get them out that I can do at home please help me.

I lived on the Outer Banks and we had trouble with rust in the well water at a certain depth. The only way to combat it was to get a water conditioner (like Culligan). I never could get out the stains that happened in the first month we lived there.
Reply:Try a mixture of baking soda and water. Let it soak for a while. Or you could try soaking it in some Oxiclean.
Reply:I live on a well and use iron-out. Follow the instructions and use routinely. Good luck!
Reply:if the clothes are colored, then you will have to dye them or forget it. or just use peroxide or bleach for whites.
Reply:If the clothes are dark...the wierd orange and brownish stains are from contact with bleach at some point and the other person is right you'll have to dye them . And if you are using regular bleach with darks, you need a Color Safe Bleach....I had this happen when I spilled a few drops of bleach on top of our washer, didn't realize it and a pair of dark pants came in contact with the bleach when I put them in with the other clothes....you might have done the same thing.
Reply:lemon juice and salt then lay out in hot sun, wash may have to repeat
Reply:Biz might work if the sweatshirt is colored. If white, try making a paste of cream of tarter and gently rub it in and let sit. I would also wash the sweatshirt in only cold water.
