What the hell is bleaching he’s hoody’s?

[overstimulatedhermit]

This has been happening for weeks and I’m baffled. No bleach has been used. No bleach in or around the machine and it’s only certain hoody’s not all. I’ve had to bin so many it’s a joke. I’ve just pulled this out of the washing machine and it’s got bleach stains, nothing else in the load has stains just this? What am I missing? Anyone had this I feel like I’m going mad! I’ve added some photos to show you what I mean.

TMI but I have been known to "bleach" my knickers. Apparently it's not unusual for knickers to get discoloured.

I’ve had this OP, but I’ve eventually realised I would have a pile of washing on the floor sorted into colours. I might have wiped my surfaces down with a cloth with Flash bathroom cleaner (with bleach) and then thrown the cloth into the pile. I’ve ruined a few items of clothing before I twigged.

This is an unnecessary interjection but it was humourous. 7/10

But you missed out the comma after "question" or you could have used a colon and a capital w in "Why".

Naughty, naughty..!

I’ve had this with towels and bath mats, no idea what does it.

You’re not that stupid, surely? The OP came on here looking for some help with a problem she’s having and all you are interested in is berating her over a spelling error. Most other responders have been able to successfully interpret the meaning of the question and offer helpful questions and suggestions, so why do you feel the need to derail the thread with such pointless meanness. The OP has acknowledged the error so for heaven's sake can you say something actually useful?

OP, is he only one who buys Tesco hoodies? It seems odd that the stains are confined to his. It might be worth getting in touch with their customer service team to ask if this is a known problem (and maybe get a refund!).

You can’t dye over bleach, it damages the structure of the fabric. I learnt thus tge hard and expensive way!

You can, I do it all the time. It just doesn't completely cover the spots so only really works if they are quite small or not completely bleached, which looks to be the case in the OP photos.

Does he wash his hands and dry them on the back of his hoody as he’s wearing it? Maybe something is transferred that way?

If the issue is with a Tesco product you would expect the stains to appear across the product, not just on the back.

Ex textile scientist here.

You can dye bleached fabrics. All fabrics are bleached over and over again during production. The only exception being wool.

You can dye them if they are all man made or all cotton. You can buy dyes for both. You will struggle if they are mixed fibres.

Its doubtful that it’s the dyes or Tesco. Dyes are meant to be fast by law. If they weren’t the colour would have bled onto other clothes. They have to be fast to both the fabric and other fabrics. If they weren’t there would be general fading all over not just in patches. It also wouldn’t happen just in the back.

Those marks have come from some sort of contact with a bleaching agent which has discharged the dye.

Perhaps not your DHs hoody but maybe some other people's things.on here.

Bubbles. They can cause almost bleach like looking stains. You only see it after the item has been washed. The weirdest thing ever. But it always annoys me when shops have bubbles blowing out of them landing on everyone.

Leaning against something somewhere that is regularly cleaned or wiped with a bleach wipe is my vote - at work maybe. This happens to me often, but in the front as I lean over worktops as Im short.

'Cottect'? Oh dear! 😂

An ellipsis (after the last 'naughty') actually has three dots...

This happened to a Tshirt I was wearing last week in a place where they use perchlorate for cleaning, looks very similar

This happened to me with a three year old washing machine. A new washing machine with short cycles sorted it. I've no idea what was happening to the clothes but it did look like bleach stains . Hasn't happened since I got a Miele

When I read the title of this thread I thought it was on Pedants' Corner.

If anyone ever finds out what causes this, please let me know, as I had this problem too. Not all my clothes, only some - and I don't buy from Tesco.

It's stopped now I've bought a new machine, so I think it was something to do with the old one. but what? I don't want it to happen again with this one.

I used to dye my stuff with Dylon - I'm a bit goth, so I'd tie-dye it, but Dylon is great, you should get full coverage so long as you choose a darker colour than the hoodies.

Haha! Humour content: 2/10

OP has asked about stains on her husband's hoodie, then it's turned into pendant corner. I'm sure everyone knew what OP meant for heavens sake hasn't anyone got something better to do than lesson's in grammar. So snobby.

Could it be that he is leaning back when on the toilet and the back has been cleaned?

I have never before come across it this way round. But on my local Nextdoor his instead of he's is rife. It's grating.

10/10 for irony!

No one says he’s for his, it’s not a big deal we know what you mean but it does makes your sentence incorrect.

What the hell is bleaching he’s hoody’s?
You’re are saying ‘what the hell is bleaching he is hoody’s?
When you mean HIS hoody’s

Yes, this is what I was thinking - not bleached at all.

So, if you were writing about a woman's hoodies, would you ask what is bleaching she's hoodies?
