Please tell me this happens to others... Re pillow cases getting a bleached look

We had dark brown (well made high thread count) sheets when we started to notice the brown getting a spotty bleached look to it. I thought maybe it was from going to bed with my hair wet, but i dont highliht/bleach it, i get it colored brown to cover grays. So then I started putting a towel down when I did have wet hair. No help.

Then I bought another good set but this time light blue. Again all the pillowcases have spots of bleach looking marks. I made it a point to not sleep with wet hair and it still happened.


It is only the pillowcases the sheets are perfect. Same with the brown sheets I had.

I rarely use bleach to wash clothes so it cant be that.

Does this happen to anyone?

Do you use Pro- activ? This happened to me and I found out that's what caused it...or it could be some other product you use on your face/skin.

I just noticed this today while doing my laundry.

Our pale green sheets have much lighter spots on the pillows. It's on both my and DH's pillows. I have no idea what it's from!

This happens to me all the time and I use Proactive.
Just bought really nice sheets for our new bed and got spots on my pillow case after just one night.

I was curious so I googled it. Drooling and sweating seam to be a cause. Not saying that you drool or sweat. Not that there is anything wrong with that LOL

Any kind of acne cremes or washes will do it.

It's definitely sweat. I can always tell which pillow cases we on my side or DH because he's a night sweater.

I would think whitening toothpaste could maybe do this?

Ditto! Wish I had figured that out sooner. So many ruined sheet sets!
