Every time I buy new sheets they go patchy in the first few washes and even change color. I have had 2 sets of sheets that were a duck egg green that changed to more of a blue after washing. I follow all the instructions, cold water wash and dissolve wash powered before adding sheets. I have hard water and no access to hot water for my washing machine just cold.

Are you buying the same brand each time?? I wonder if they are just not of good quality. Try setting the color first. When you get them, before you use them, wash in cold water and vinegar and a 1/2 cup of salt with NO SOAP. That will help set the color.
Does this only happen with sheets? Not on clothing?
Is there any chance that a pet is getting on the bed and wetting on the sheets? That will cause splotches and perhaps you are not noticing it until they are laundered?
