I recently began having a problem where two of my jackets. They have developed mystery bleach spots! The first was a trench coat with spots on the back, waistband, and by the pocket. The second was a field jacket that had stains on the pocket, collar, and on the back. This was a bizarre incident- the stains appeared over an hour when I wore it in the rain while wearing a backpack.
Two things of note, the aforementioned backpack is one that I only wore with these two jackets, as it would cause pilling on my other coats. Second, my short, shoulder length hair is dyed a dark brown color. (I feel this is worth mentioning because the towel I spilled hair dye on when coloring my hair has stains that have faded from dark brown to bleached.
Though this occurred over a couple of weeks of everyday use, I'm thinking these stains have something to do with something in the backpack transferring into the jackets when it rains? I know this sounds odd, but I'm at a loss for what else it could be. Anyways, any thoughts on what is causing this strange problem and how to prevent it from happening again would be appreciated!

If toothpaste, mouthwash or household cleaners came in contact with the backpack it could be that it transferred onto your clothing too
Hi,
I found another question on ThriftyFun about the same problem. There are some comments on the type of water which you might have, and if the detergent is put in the water first, before the clothes, and other interesting ideas. Here is the link:

I hope you find out what it is!

Hi,
This issue has been happening to me for this whole year.. out of no where o started getting bleach like stains on my clothes. From big to small. For example, Id bought a baggy tshirt. Wore it around the house whilst it was summer and then over time it developed bleach like stains and only on the front. This then happened to a new dress I had only wore once, in random spots on the front on the dress. I then started noticing pop up on my dark grey hand towels but on the dark grey, its a very dark orange colour. I live with two other people and, one of them we share the bathroom/ tea towels but I doesnt effect their clothes nor anything of theirs nor the other person in the house.
I just received a light purple sports bra in the mail. I put it on, put a jumper over the top of it. Wore it for a couple of hours, it that and then took it off. It was laying flat on my desk because I was going to wear it the next day. The next morning when I went to put it on, there were four small white beach like marks on this sports bra. As you can imagine I was pissed of, confused and frustrated!!!
Another brand new item, ruined!
This is and has been driving me insane.
Also, a pair of beige pants that I have been wearing for months, have just started showing like whiteish/ orange marks/ stains on the front of them.. and then a new pair of lilac tights that I have only worn twice/ new as well have these faint marks on them.
One of the people I live with is my best friend, we share our clothes all of the time. None of her clothes have this mark or marks.
It doesnt make any sense,
Its really doing my head in and its costing me to much money.
HELP! Please
