What are these stains and how do I get rid of them?

Does anyone know what these stains are from and how I can get rid of them? I tried laundering after applying Oxi Clean and Spray-n-Wash. Neither worked. I thought it might be a bleach stain, but I'm not sure if it makes sense for bleach to create a mustard-colored stain on off-white pants. I wore these pants just once and am pretty bummed about the stains. Any recommendations are appreciated!

Have you put it in the dryer? Hydrogen peroxide
sorrynodice
sorrynodiceOP17mo ago
Nope, just washed (with aforementioned sprays) and hang dried

I usually use either dawn dish soap or hydrogen peroxide and I rarely have trouble getting any stains out

Also are blood stains normally a mustard color? They're not really reddish/brownish like I'd expect.

I've had micro blood stains like that from accidentally popping a pimple or something Might be something else though

Idk!! They're on the seat of the pants, too. I have no idea what they are and how they got there. What's your process exactly? Let the hydrogen peroxide sit for some time? Or apply it immediately before washing?

If it’s blood it’ll come out pretty fast I usually put it in a bucket or a bowl or something and pour HP over it

Though iirc oxiclean is at least partially hydrogen peroxide?
Erik

Yeahhh but I’ve found normal hydrogen peroxide is better Cheaper too

Yeah same experience Might take multiple washes still though I have a shirt where I'm slowly de-staining the collar It gets whiter every wash

Blood stains looks a little different and can definitely be removed with hydrogen peroxide before it sets/laundered in hot water/put in dryer. Bleach stains are much more yellow than mustard too. Looks like a food stain or an errant bird poop missile lol. I’d use the stain remover solution again but leave it on longer or overnight before laundering to see if that helps.

dawn dish soap

I’ve used dawn dish soap on my hoodie before for a small food stain and it did this aintnoway
Erik

Tbf that looks like an overdyed hoodie, which makes sense as to why it freely removed the dye
Gideo
Gideo17mo ago
Wow you’re good lmao It totally was, should have spot tested on the inside of the hoodie

Alright fellas, the Dawn dish soap didn't work. I'll try next with hydrogen peroxide. Any other ideas?

They look like white pants, might be extreme but bleach?

Get some of the Oxy Clean powder and mix up a bucket of it, then soak your garmet for a while in that. That stuff works wonders.
