![]() ![]() Sometimes I can get it out with Clorox 2, or at least lighten it. We've had this exact thing happen at our house for years - random blue streaks and stains in our clothing. I think my husband and I may have found the cause tonight. ()īy Anna Blue Stains Showing Up On Washed Clothing Let me know if anyone else tries and the result. I haven't had the chance to try this yet, but I plan to asap. and just recently started to notice the problem so I've been researching for a solution. I've heard that you can soak some old white towel with 1 or 2 cups of bleach and the rest with water to soak up the towel and run it in the dryer, repeating the process until you don't see the blue dye on the towel anymore. Blue jeans give off a dark blue dye especially when new and I think that after a few years the dye eventually bakes onto the dryer drum and every so often transfers onto a load of clothes in the dryer. The dryer drum has a blue stain on the it and I believe that its from washing the blue jeans over the years. When I see the blue stains on clothes after a dry cycle I put them back in the washer and they are gone but when I dry them again they appear again. I believe that the blue staining is from the dryer. ()īy victorb Blue Stains Showing Up On Washed Clothing At least I should be able to see what gets picked up in the filter. I plan on installing some type of inline filter just in front of the washing machine in order to purify the water just before it enters the machine. I am now thinking that this problem is related to the water composition or corrosion in the pipes. I use a water softener and have a whole house filter to accommodate my hard, iron-rich well water. However recently I have started to see the problem again even though I stopped using the Blue cleaner for more than a year. It sounded like a long shot but I was willing to try anything so I stopped using the blue tablets and it seemed that the problem subsided. The blue stuff settles down to lowest part of the plumbing and then the next water draw would carry this stuff to that location. The claim was that as these tablets dissolve, some of the blue dye seep back into the plumbing if the seal for the incoming connections to the tank were not tight. I heard a rumor that the problem could be caused by the BLUE automatic toilet bowl cleaners. My 3 year old dryer has evidence of the blue stains burnt onto the drum. Many times it will not occur for weeks or months and then 1 load will be loaded with the blue stains. I have lost at least $800 in clothes in the last 3 years.

We have found that if you soak the stained clothes in vinegar and water the stains will come out. ![]() ![]() You most likely have copper water pipes and this is causing the green\blue stains.
