Need help removing gross yellow stains from DP's pillow cases

[dippingbackin]

As the title says really. DP is incredibly sweaty in the night and I am f*cking sick of him ruining lovely white bed linen with his gross sweaty head and body. Everything ends up yellow on his side despite me washing it very regularly - I can't wash it every sodding day!!!

Any tips for stain removal much appreciated.

Not to worry anybody but night sweats and the vinegary smell could indicate type 2 diabetes. They should be checked by a GP. It's a very simple test.

I have the same problem OP.
My dh's pillowcase is rank

Buttercup27 where did you get 'backtowhite' ?

Either Sainsburys or asda, can't remember.

Update...not more yellow pillow case stain

Doubled up on my normal washing tablets Home bargains finest 60° wash and voila...

This is the highlight of my Saturday night

There was a thread on here ages ago where somebody made the immortal remark "You need to wash at 60 to remove human grease. [somebody I know] who is a bedding manufacturer told me."

Human Grease. I have never forgotten it. It does work!

I wash the whole pillow (dunlopillow foam rubber) every couple of months. Keeps the smell down.

Triple pillow slip it to keep seepage through to rubber to a minimum.

wash all bedding on 60c at least.

Also got fed up as stain goes right through to pillows. He now sleeps with a towel over the pillow. Sounds unkind but it works. Also had stains on back of chairs so covered his chair with a throw. He doesn't mind as he knows it's a problem and it's a hard life out in that shed!

Plastic sheets!!??

I read somewhere that these yellow stains come because of a scalp fungal infection. Got recommended to try Ketaconazole shampoo or Nizoral shampoo from Boots. It takes a few uses but it works. The stains come back if they don't keep using it though. Don't need to use it every day, jus couple of times a week. Also gets rid of the 'vinegar' smell. urgh they're gross aren't they.

I have this problem with DP too - i will trying this method, in particular, not using fabric softener: housewifehowtos.com/do-laundry/how-to-clean-grimy-pillowcases/

It could be due to sleep apnea. My husband diagnosed no yellow stain bedding or vinegar smell now.

Is he into bodybuilding? There are certain 'supplements' that make users sweat yellow...
