Using Oxalic Acid Around the Home

Oxalic acid is safe to use around the home, as long as you take the correct safety precautions.
Rust stains on porous surfaces such as carpets and clothing can be removed by using oxalic products. Applying the chemical to the effected area and blotting the excess will make the carpet look as good as new. Beware - do not use normal household bleach to remove rust stains - it will make it worse!
Oxalic acid can be used to remove blood, ink and urine stains from carpets.
Oxalic acid can also be found in various household cleaning products such as Barkeeper's friend, a popular wood product from the United States.
