I just did my laundry, and when it came out of the dryer it had these like burn marks. If I wash it again will it come out. I'll probably have to use a different dryer, but I'll be able to take them out right?

Na... you just had it too high. Check which way you turn the knob to increase the heat, than turn it one full revolution the OTHER WAY. Then dry your clothes again... this will cancel out the burn marks leaving your clothes like new.

a washer can also burn clothes if overloaded and it spins against the plastic/metal at the top of the drum.

if they are burned, it isn't going to wash out
they are ruined or live with it

use a lower temp setting on the dryer next time

You can put them in the freezer. Sometimes you can put them in a steamer on the stove to allow the burn marks to be steamed out, but this takes a long time if you have a lot of clothes.

I used hot water and detergent with bleach and it seems to have gotten it out on most of my clothes except for a few stragglers. I'm going to wash those extra next time so I think it does wash out, and it wasn't a burn in.

You DO realize that if it's a BURN mark, there has been a chemical change... and it's not just going to "wash out"?

That's why I don't think its a BURN mark because it has gotten out of it. Wow, chemical change...that takes me back to my high school chem days.
