I know they're not sweat stains. They appear in random spots. Could it be minerals in the water? I don't think it's the detergent since I've tried several. Unfortunately, I don't know if they appear when the clothes are wet or after they come out of the dryer.

been there, fixed that. Let me guess, the spots. totally random vary in size from pencil tip to the size of a penny. The colour resembles a faded urine stain. A very light yellow that is hard to describe. If so, it's not anything you are doing, sort of. The stains get on the clothes during the wash cycle. it's oil from the washer's gear box located under the machine which comes up into the drum under the agitator. The cause of this problem is the calcium in powdered detergents. It builds up on the shaft and pulls the seals away, causing a small oil leak. Since oil floats, it forms little pools or dots on top of the water during the wash, and slowly drops down onto the fabric during the draining cycle causing random spotting. Run your washer at minimum water level with no clothes (in the machine) and add 2 cups of vinegar. Allow it to rum through a complete short cycle. Do this twice, then switch to liquid detergent.
p.s. the stains are on your darker clothes too, but you can't see them as well.

the fast answer: Spots at times turn yellow simply by fact extra bacteria different than the properly known one that lives in spots connect in and upload to the mess, and those extra bacteria coloration a gap yellow or eco-friendly. The long answer: The stuff is a mix of sebum (dermis oil), dermis cells, lifeless bacteria and lifeless blood cells. The sticky sebum and stuck-jointly dermis cells block your pore to furnish you the spot in the 1st place. it relatively is a blackhead. a sort of bacteria breeds in the back of the blockage and the blood that fights the bacteria provides to the mass, imparting you with white cloth, with further sebum, so which you get a whitehead. The bacteria that lives in whiteheads is propionibacterium acnes which type of potential 'propionic acid making bacteria latest in spots'. It would not like oxygen in air, so it grows properly interior the exterior far off from air. it could destroy down the exterior around the pore and enable in different, pus-forming bacteria, which experience makes the spot larger and the pus astonishing yellow or eco-friendly. it relatively is why spots at times bypass yellow - different bacteria have crept in and further to the social gathering. without notice you have a huge yellow spot. Pus forming bacteria are stated as pyogenic cocci - 'pyogenic' potential 'pus making' and 'cocci' is from the classic Greek for 'berry' after the around shape of those bacteria. a sort of stick to-on bacteria is Staphylococcus aurea that provides 'staph' infections and can turn spots into slow-healing yellow pus-weighted down wonders. Washing your face two times an afternoon with cleansing soap and water won't stop you getting whiteheads, considering each and every person happens under the exterior, besides the undeniable fact that it could stop the spots getting extensive and yellow.

I would use one or two scoops of Oxy Clean in each load along with a liquid detergent (preferably Tide). To get whites (ONLY) really clean first I would put one half cup of Cascade with your regular detergent into the washer and wash in cold water. Don't use cascade with colors and don't use too much or very often as it is abrasive and eventually will harm the clothes but it takes awhile. Good Luck.

do you use a liquid laundry softener like "downey"? If you use too much, sometimes they leave stains on your clothes when you wash them - and they are not usually noticeable until after the stain has set in by the dryer :-(

Bleach. Sometimes bleach gets caught in areas around the washer. Or even the drier for bleach trapped in clothes. as the vibrations make them move, they begin to drop or they get caught by the clothes.

it could possibly be minerals in the water or they could be bleach spots if you use bleach. Bleach leaves random yellow spots.

well maybe your other clothes are yellow so some of the yellow got on your whites. or maybe it's the light in the dryer.
