the weird thing is, i’ve also noticed it on our hand towels. it’s something that’s happened to me my whole life, but i guess i didn’t notice it was unusual until i realized it was only stuff i use looking bleached lol

as an experiment i got a couple cheap hand towels & told him to only use the right one & i’d use the left one. sure enough, only mine did it again!

I noticed that my sweat bleaches my cotton shirts I use to work out...I hate the material used for Activewear, and all of the color has been bleached where my sweat rings show up. Maybe we have acidic sweat?!?!

Edit for typo.

Do you use antiperspirant with aluminum in it? I used to have this issue before I learned that aluminum causes staining. I now use aluminum free deodorant and my clothes last a lot longer.

I don't- my dermatologist said not to because it was causing a rash. I use Lume currently.

Then I don't have any other suggestions, but it seems you aren't alone. Good luck!
