What causes those bright orange stains in some clothes?

mainly khakis. The stains are like neon orange. I really don't know what it is, since I only use regular detergent to wash the clothes. Somehow these stains keep appearing on my light color pants :frown:

neon orange stains are from hair-bleach. I know because my wife bleaches and then changes her hair-color every few days... :)

Could also be some bathroom cleaner wirh chloride, etc. Anyway it's something very strong

my guess would be chips into the enamel of your washer or dryer tub have started rusting.

Agreed. I have a few of those myself. Good thing they were just regular shirts. ;)
