Washing stains

Very annoying for you. I was very surprised when I tried white vinegar on strawberry stains, which you could try.

Does anyone know what causes this to my washing? It's a new machine, as my old machine did it! They don't come out - it's a proper stain!

Suze5052 hello ? I'd recommend napisan , soak for an hour or 2 then put it through the wash again it may dissappear, I use it on stained clothes as well as grandsons nappies x

If it's happened in both machines it must be something not to do with the actual machines. And yes, it looks like rust to me.
Is it always only on bedding?

Thanks for suggestions but it's none of those things. It was just bed linen in that load, washed at 40. Thing is this has happened to several items in our old machine and new one. Bleach doesn't get it out, it's like a rust inprint.

I would agree it looks like rust...Was it in with a zipper or metal buttons..

It looks like something rested on it possibly prior to washing.
Or, like RichmondPark & PunkCosmos have suggested!

It looks like a rust mark to me. Do you have metal buttons that could have caused it?

Did you soak it in the sink first? It looks like the imprint of a rusty plug hole.

Could it be the residue of a hair-care product?

Are you washing at a very high temperature? Something like spilt milk may be hard to spot before washing, but will show up as a result of heat.

I’ve had that!
On some white pyjamas; it looked like singe marks. I was completely baffled.
I put Ace Gentle Bleach (which really is ace) on the stains and they came out.
Good luck!
