Laundry question?
Question:We are very careful to empty pockets before doing laundry, and spot treating any stains we see. More and more lately, when clothes are taken out of the dryer, there are stains on shirts that weren't there when they went in the laundry. Just these past 2 weeks I've pulled out 3 shirts that are now ruined. Any thoughts?

Had this problem with my washer, called repair man, turns out the washer was leaking oil...needed a new seal or something like that.
the laundry soap you are using might be to abrasive or you have some new clothes that are messing up the other ones
My wife thinks the same way.. that the washer or dryer put the stains on the cloths.
Chances are, the stains are there prior to putting them into the wash machine.
Make sure you check very carefully prior to laundering - I use OxiClean - Spot remover - it works pretty good if pre treated a few min prior to washing.
maybe theres something
in the dryer that is
staining your clothes .
Do you use fabric softener in the washing machine? I find that sometimes if I don't dilute the fabric softener enough before putting it in I get oil-like stains on lighter-colored clothing. They usually come out with a second wash though.
This is very strange. Most probably, it is your machine that is giving the stains or the coloring of the clothes had ruined. You should separate you clothes according to their colors so that they won't stain the rest.
What kind of stains?
If they are colored marks you could have some clothing bleeding the color onto others
If the stains are oily you may have to dilute your detergent
Also make sure there is nothing melted into your dryer. I had a piece of plastic in one that was melted to the side & every time I used it there were little black stains on stuff. I think it was part of a pen cap or something. You could also check your water to see if you have hard water. Hard water will not rinse clothes well so they will not be as clean as they should be.
put a small like flower basket near were ever your washer is or dirty cloths pile up and put on it save your money empty in here
