Fairy Pods - Stained my clothes

Can the fairy pods leave blue stain on clothing?

For years I used Lidl Bio washing powder and found it brilliant.

I switched to Fairy non bio last summer when DS was born. No issues with the powder.

I bought the pods on deal and to make my life easier, with mountains of tiny clothes and paraphernalia involved. I noticed some blue stains. I blamed DH for leaving a biro in his pocket. Grease on his clothing. My blue jeans.

But no I think it's the pods! It's "ruined" a fair few white baby clothes but mostly vests/ grows so I don't mind. But I just put on a light grey hoodie of mine and low and behold big blue stain!

Anything I can do to remove it? Also do you think it is the pods? I have loads to use

What temperature? I only use pods at 60 or above as they can sometimes not dissolve properly at lower temps. I did some jumpers at 30 and they came out with blue gel all over them.

The pods themselves are seemingly not good for the environment either.

@So1invictus I only was DHs overalls at 60, baby's clothes at 40 and mine mostly 30 (they usually just need a freshening). That's really annoying.

@AlotIsntAWord I'm not supposed to be on here now (at work) but I'll read that later thank you. I thought all washing detergent was bad for the environment?
