apparently soaking in vinegar first, and then washing item with oxygen stain remover (live Vanish or oxyclean ect.) might help....

good luck

Yep I have!
Terrible rust stains on dd's bedroom curtain ,from rusty old radiator. As soon as the new radiator went in I srubbed the rusty bits with a very juicy lemon and a bit of salt and left in the sun for about half an hour. Then washed normally.Worked amazingly well.
But they were cream coloured cotton curtains. I would be nervous of doing it to anything dark.

scrubbed not srubbed of course!
