Steve-- I saw your message about the washing machine rust. Sometimes the tubs inside the machine can develop rust inside. I know because it has happened to me. No rusty zippers or buttons or metal!!! Its the machine tub. The most important thing you can do is don't leave anything in the wash machine. As soon as the load is done get it out. I ruined a beautiful shirt I bought in Europe when I washed it alone and left it in the washer over night. It had rust spots all over! You can buy rust remover through the same company that makes the famous clothing dye. BUT, the trick with the rust treatment is that you soak the rusty clothing in a bucket with VERY HOT water. NOW-- CAN SOMEONE TELL US HOW TO GET THE RUST OUT OF THE INSIDE OF THE WASHER??? Thanx! ;)
