Mattie's fur is rust colored

Mattie has been laying in the new pool I bought her. Our faucet outside isn't hooked to the water softener, so the water is very rusty.
Her feet and chest are orange now.
Any ideas on how to get the orange out.
Will it just wash out when I bathe her?

Thanks for you help
Lisa Frankie and Mattie

Iron Out??
...sorry, couldn't resist.
Some of the whitening shampoos might work to some degree. You may just have to live with it though. I would hate to try anything too harsh on her, especially seeing she is prone to getting open areas from skin irritants. :(
Try dituting some cider vinugar with water and wash a small area, it will give yoy an udea if it can be removed or not.
I know its not an eye or tear stain but have a look at eye envy. My clients are having great results with it, you apply then next day the stain is lesser.
Failing that get a big jug fill it up from the kitchen and fill tub by hand xx
Try Jirmack shampoo for white hairs.......or there are several others. I use the Jirmack. Also there are shampoos that will remove mineral deposits in the hair.....clarifying shampoos often used by swimmers. Ultra Swim, Joico, Aubury are a few names. You'll need to condition afterward if you use the clairfiers.

I think Whink's Rust remover would be too strong! Wonder of good old Mrs. Stewart's bluing would work.
I use Malibu once a month.... It's a crystal treatment I get at Sally's. It might work??
I LOVE Whink's Rust Remover!! But yes, too strong ;)
