I have many clothes, towels, and now bed sheets that are discoloring and turning almost a pink color.?

The fabrics that are affected are primarily brown, tan or light green in color and knit or linen fabrics. It almost looks like it is being bleached out, and turns a pinkish/orange color. I always thought that it was happening in the laundry, however I had just put on brand new bedsheets, and my pillowcase had discolored before the first wash (the wife's was fine). It normally happens on the collars of polo shirts, and also on towels and pillowcases. I'm assuming it must be something that I have in my sweat that is causing it. Any help appreciated, sheets and shirts are too expensive to be disposed of after only a couple uses. Thanks!I have many clothes, towels, and now bed sheets that are discoloring and turning almost a pink color.?
I found some info online...


New perspiration stains are normally acid and may be removed by washing. If the fabric dye is affected, hold the mark in fumes from an open ammonia bottle to try to restore the color.


Older perspiration stains turn alkaline and sponging with 1 Tbsp. vinegar in a half cup of water will often restore the color. This treatment also helps to remove perspiration odors.





To remove perspiration stains from unwashable garments or for any stubborn marks, apply a paste of 1 Tbsp. cream of tartar, 3 crushed aspirins and a cup of warm water. Leave for 20 minutes. Rinse well in warm water. Repeat if necessary. Follow this with vinegar and water to restore the color if necessary.

Sweat is 99 percent water and one percent messier junk. 'It's all about the bacteria and enzymes,' says David O'Connor, M.D. of Bethesda Memorial Hospital in Boynton Beach, Florida.





Among the waste products in your sweat are sodium chloride, phosphate, urea, ammonia and lactic acid. As the water evaporates, these substances build up and your shirts gain, or lose, color.





The apocrine glands in your armpits are particularly 'colorful.' These produce a different, thicker kind of 'diaphoretic' fluid than the glands on the hands and feet. And the bacteria that get trapped by the hair ducts in this region may cause odor and keep the sweat in contact with your clothing longer...





Diet might actually be the real culprit. Garlic and certain spices are broken down and excreted in perspiration. If you eat excessive amounts of spicy foods, try cutting back and see what happens.';I have many clothes, towels, and now bed sheets that are discoloring and turning almost a pink color.?
if you happen to use zit cream with benzoyl peroxide - it causes things to bleach too





maybe check the ingredients you are using
