Upon removing my clothes from the washing machine after washing them, I have noticed that several garments have become discolored, with bleach-like streaks throughout the fabric. This has happened with several differents items, especially sheets, towels and t-shirts. I have tried several different detergents, including Cheer, Purex and Arm & Hammer, but I have yet to find one that helps. Also, the clothing is from several different brands, from several different stores, so it’s not as if I am just having a problem with a particular brand or store.
Is it the fault of the clothing or detergent? Has anyone else had this problem? If so, have you found any solutions?

    It may have to do with the cycle you’re using…I noticed this with my towels and I don’t bleach them…I realized, though, that it’s because I wasn’t using the gentle cycle

    Since you have had this problem with several different soaps, the underlining cause is most likely the water but it also may be the machine. Is there a lot of chlorine in your water, is you water very hard (this usually results in the yellowing of fabric rather than whitening.) I would get your water tested then they will be able to find a solution from there. Ask your neighbors if they are experiencing the same issues before you pay for your water to be tested. If they are not then there might be something leaking from your machine, but this is rare. Oh, I use Arm and Hammer and I do not have the same problem so it is unlikely it’s the detergent you are using. If several neighbors are having the same issue, you may be able to have the water company to come out and test the water.

    well, you need to read each tags on clothings, towels, and sheets.

    I think it’s the detergent. You need to get one that doesn’t have bleach in it. I use Tide with Downy and I love it. You can try that one too and see if you like it.
