Orange stains on clothing

Post new topic

CasaDelMarLasCanas

Hi,
We recently purchased a home in Las Canas near Gaspar Hernandez and will spending our winters here. We have been here twice now (once in the spring and right now) and we have been getting these orange stains on our clothing. At first we thought it was our old rusted washer but we have since replaced it and are still getting the stains.

Does anyone know what these are and how to prevent/get rid of them? They do not come out with Shout or anything like that. Anyone?
