Thank you Ed.
I did more research and found out about oxalic acid, but couldn’t find any at my local stores. So on the recommendation of a couple more sites, I tried trisodium phosphate (TSP). After about 5 coats over the day, all but one of the stains are completely gone. The last one is almost invisible, but wouldn’t go away after even a couple more washes. It’s hardly noticeable, so I’m not going to worry too much about it.
