Keep finding my bedsheets stained with green little dots

Post image

i’ve been trying to find the answer for this for years. 1. I’m the only person who sleeps in this bed 2. I don’t eat or drink anything in my bedroom 3. I don’t have hair that is dyed or dyed green

I’ve also had these same exact splotches show up blue before too

Okay here’s my hypothesis as it looks JUST like something that appeared on my husbands sheets when we first moved in together. YES your household all uses the same laundry detergent, but do you all use it the same way?

Is it powder detergent? Do you wash your sheets/laundry and others wash their own? Do you add it before the water begins, during, or after the waters finished running? I’m telling you this looks identical to powder detergent that wasn’t incorporated into a load properly. IDENTICAL to that man

ETA: if I had to assume, you’re loading up a top load washer with a lot of stuff, like all of your bedding and sheets and comforter? And then adding in a powder detergent once all of the sheets and bedding are in there, then you’re closing it and going on your merry way. I think it’s an overloaded washer not incorporating the powder and then those little teeny dots of the scented part dries and then stains once in the drier.

Regardless, shouldn't you add any cleaning products first?

Iirc the cleaning products go first while the water is running, let it get a little dispersed and incorporated into the water before adding clothes

What about those bullshit auto-sensing door-locking top loaders? I had one in an apartment and couldn't do a damn thing. It drained when I paused it, couldn't mix, couldn't soak. I went through a lot of water trying to figure out if there was some special button or combination.
