Sometimes if that doesnt work then they go in bleach for a bit.

Pretty cab, Tela! You could try Super Iron Out. That usually works well.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

I helped a little. The druzy sure looks nicer. different lighting, but you get the idea. This was about 3 days of soaking.

Much improved. Are you going to soak some more?

I might try another product. After 3 days that was all I got, so maybe get some of what hummingbirdstones mentioned.

I've had good luck getting iron stains out with muriatic acid too, but it's pretty nasty stuff.

Looks like super iron out is now iron out. I got some gel iron out. I can use it around the house, too.
