My white clothes are coming out with orange spots on them- what can I do?

There's nothing in the washer that's orange, there's no orange clothes in with them, but all my whites are coming out with orange spots on them! Does anyone know what they are and what I can do to prevent them and take them out?

i think thats a indicator of rust in your washer. Do a cycle with no clothes just soap and water. If that doesnt work try filling up the washer with water first then put your soap in then your clothes. Lemme kno gOod luck!
Reply:something is either wrong with your washer or dryer, make sure this is happening with several loads and not just one load....if it only happened in one load then maybe something got mixed in that melted and you didn't realize there was something in there. If it isn't that then something may be wrong with your detergent, contact the company who makes the detergent and tell them what happened. I once had a problem with a detergent removing the color from my clothing and the company that made the detergent sent me a check to reimburse me for the clothes that were ruined, there was a problem with the lot of detergent I purchased and it was recalled and I had no idea until I called them and complained.
Reply:let me see, i think you use a little too much detergent. using too little or too much detergent can cause laundry problems. if the inside of your washing machines, the one that holds ur clothes, and washes them(if it is made out of metal) then that could be the problem. try it and see.

Reply:It is probably rust, either built up in your washer or in the water you are using. It will start making all of your whites a little yellow over time and leave the occasional orange spot. To get it out of your washer, try going through a cycle with no clothes. Use hot water and bleach in the cycle.


To get the spots out of your clothes you can use a whitener/brightener like RIT that you find at the local store or you can purchase one of those rust out products. Make sure to follow the directions carefully and check to make sure it is designed for clothing before you buy it. If you see the spot before it goes through the dryer, it will be easier to get out later.


If the problem is in your water, you will want to purchase a bluing product (like Mrs. Stewarts, see link below) to keep your whites really white (all whites tend to yellow with age and the blue helps to counteract that, again make sure you follow the directions carefully or you will get blue spots on your whites).
Reply:As for the orange spots i have no idea as to where they come from or even why they appear but i had a similar problem. I can't say for sure but i think it was because i was using a liquid bleach (for colours). I have since used Napisan powder, soaking my clothes for no more than 2 hours and problem solved.
Reply:Your washer is rusty, in a place you cannot see. Don't use it for white or light colored clothes. See about getting a repairman or buy a new washer.
Reply:rust stains from an old washer?


try bleaching or oxy clean
Reply:wash them would be a good idea.......................................
Reply:soak in a washer of hot water with plenty of clorox and washing powders. It should take it out
Reply:try using CLR, iron-out, or some other cleaner with anti-rust properties to it that you can put in your washer to get the rust out.
