I noticed pink spots on baby clothes when leaving the washer. At first I thought it was breast milk or infant formula may cast shows, but on the clothes that do not touch food, like socks. I changed laundry detergent and fabric softener. The colors wash separately and no dryer. And this only happens to my baby clothes, which was separate from my clothes. Any ideas what that is, how to prevent it, and how to get out stains?

   I’m not sure why it is only happening to baby clothes or what exactly is causing it. My only idea would be to put the machine on with nothing in it (not clothes or powders or liquids). Use the hottest cycle you have. It will clean out the machine in case it’s something like a build of washing stuff. Also double check that the clothes don’t have the pink stains on before they go into the wash…
