My white tee has yellow marks on front

Hi
I recently washed a white tee along with bed sheets and when I got it out, I noticed there are some faded yellowish marks on the tee.
I had pretreated the sheets with stain remover, but the tee didn't require that
Could the stain remover have caused the marks or dye from the sheets?
BTW, when I saw it was stained I soaked it in Vanish oxi overnight.
Attached is photo.
Disappointed as tee is new and I really like. Kicking myself.

Thanks
Nick

I love a white tee and go through a lot of them. I always seem to get something on them. One thing you could do is embroider some flowers over the marks. You could try dabbing the marks with bleach but it won’t necessarily work. I speak from experience.

I think bleach will also stain.

Try leaving it out on the sun/on the line on a really sunny day. This normally works best for food stains but worth a try here.

I've found that 1001 carpet spot cleaner gets most stuff out of clothes and doesn't damage them. I know it's carpet cleaner but it does work. Plus if it's already ruined what's the worse that can happen? I've also used the vanish version when I ran out of 1001.
