i have a really unusual problem: i'm turning everything orange! really! at one point a few months ago my green towels started getting orange blotches on them that looked like bleach spots, so i assumed i must have gotten something on them, even though i hadn't bleached anything lately. then about 6 of my shirts started getting similar blotches, and then even the foam part of my earphones turned this bright bright orange. after i take a shower my mom says she's noticed an orange ring around the bathtub drain... and the strings on some of my pants have been doing the same thing. i'm 13, i don't eat anything weird, not if you don't count a lot of pickles and black olives. i don't sweat a lot. what could be causing this problem? no doctors my mom's taken me to has been able to figure it out yet... they just end up saying "weird... are you SURE it's not face wash or shampoo or bleach or something?" lol. anything you might MAYBE think could be happening is very much appreciated... thx... lol

IT'S NOT YOU!! It's either: your water supply has a chemical in it that, when mixed with your detergent and additives, causes rust to form. Or: The inside of your washing machine has started to rust.
If I'm right, this should work. There's a little yellow bottle of stuff called stain devils. It's in the supermarket next to the tide. They have a special formula that works really well on rust. Try it and see if it works.

Either that, or you've been spray or foam tanning?

Should you use fash wash, do you use facial astringent? Any style of peroxide for your facial cleansers could be the reply... I are aware of it was once to your earphones... Might be from sweating and the chemical compounds in your face dripping onto your earphones. So far as your seaside towel- what phase? If it was once close the face, that is more commonly it. Have been you making use of your earphones via the pool with your seaside towel? Could even be chlorine stains from the water. And when you launder your garments along with your pool wear this is what may just purpose the extra stains. Constantly wash your bathing suits/towels separate from ordinary garments. In any other case, i am thinking it might be the detergent you are using to launder your clothes. Doesn't provide an explanation for the earphones... But some detergents have peroxide and bleaching marketers even though they're "color reliable." learn the label to your detergent. I am all outta ideas! Haha First for the whole lot! ;-)
