is there a way to neutralize bleach?

[beer]

I'm having issues where some clothes of mine have bleach-like stains (faintly, but definitely there) although I am not using bleach on anything but whites. I think it's possible it might not be entirely draining since they're front-load washers, is there a way I could neutralize any leftover bleach from affecting the next load?

Chlorine?


Ammonia?

Both work equally well

Run the washer with no clothes in it.

Bleach is chlorinated lye.

I had the same problem. I would just run another rinse cycle with nothing in the washer. I haven't had it since.

It may not be the bleach, but something else you are coming in contact with during the day.

I agree.

It may not be bleach. Once a month run an empty load with a gallon of vineger. The acetic acid in vinegar will remove all sorts of built up crap and rust from your washer.

I always set my front loader for a second rinse cycle when I use bleach. Seems to work fine.

As an alternate, blueing(sp?) works well.
