Laundry & Blue-Stain Question....

[DisneyFan32WI]

Sometimes I get these little blue stain marks on my newly washed clothes. I thought it might've been the blue colored Tide laundry detergent that was the culprit, so I switched to clear-colored ALL. I STILL get these pesky blue stains once and a while on my clothes, and it is SO irritating!

I have lost some really great clothes to this............anyone know what the cause is???

I'll admit that I could use a lesson in LAUNDRY 101. I never know what gets washed in warm, hot, cold, etc. SOOOO, I always wash everything in cold to be on the safe side. Maybe this is part of my problem?

Do you use liquid fabric softener and if so, how do you add it?

No, I only use fabric softener sheets.....

What do the stains look like? Are they line or circles or blobs? How big?

Are you washing your jeans with these clothes that are getting the stains?

Lots of laundry detergents that don't get fully dissolved will leave blue marks on your clothes, white vinegar should get them out if its detergent

Use white vinegar for the fabric softner. I know it sounds really strange but it works. I just put it in the downey ball and drop it in.

Check the inside of your dryer? Mine is tinged blue from denim. It can be cleaned (pain in the you-know-what), but I'm ok with the blue tinge. I hang dry a lot of my tops.
