No panic. For the really stubborn, old rust stains, you can bring in a commercial rust remover made specifically for fabrics. Look for products with oxalic acid (like Bar Keepers Friend, but test a hidden spot first!).
These are like the heavy artillery in your stain-fighting army. Just follow the package directions, and always rinse thoroughly. Your shirt will thank you for not giving up on it.
