Why Your Towels Get Orange Stains That Won’t Wash Out

🧺 What to Do If You Already Have Bleach Spots

Unfortunately, you can’t reverse the damage—but you can repurpose:

Dye dark towels (Rit Dye) to a new color (though spots may still show)

Cut into rags for cleaning or car detailing

Use as gym or beach towels where appearance doesn’t matter

🚫 Don’t: Keep washing with good towels—residue can transfer!

💡 Pro Tip: The “Towel Test”

If you’re unsure, do this:

Take a white cotton cloth.

Apply a pea-sized amount of your acne product.

Wait 5 minutes.

→ If it turns orange/yellow, it contains benzoyl peroxide and will bleach fabrics.

💛 Final Thought

Your skincare routine shouldn’t sabotage your laundry.

By understanding this sneaky chemical reaction, you can protect your favorite towels—and finally solve the mystery of those glowing orange ghosts in your linen closet.

So go ahead—treat your skin.

Just keep the bleach where it belongs: on stains, not your spa towels. 😉
