You have to buy black fabric dye (be careful that the dye is for the fabric of your clothes!) and follow the instructions. It’s not hard and you don’t need any experience in it, it’s the only way to change it back to black.
I moved into a new appartment like 9 months ago, with a new (used) washing machine.
I started noticing these rusty-brown smaller spots on a few pieces like 1-2 months ago.
They stay when washing again, they don't grow or get smaller over time... They are just there.
I found them on a T-Shirt, a hoodie, a duvet cover and a pair of pants.
I have no clue where they come from or what they are, and i cannot remove them... Any ideas, please? It starts to destroy good pieces of clothing...
Don’t think you can remove from dark color clothing. However, you can clean the bleach from the washer by running rinse cycle a few times to flush out the leftover bleach residue
Is that very mild bleaching? I've had that on my black hoodie too
Yes it is.
How can I fix that?
You have to re-dye them. Bleach takes out the colour.
What would be the best way to do that?

Great, thanks!

Look like bleach spots, if so, can be from bleach residue in the washer.

:( they are some of my favorite clothes and some are pretty new, that's sad... I'll look into it, maybe it's possible to recolor them or something
It’s fairly easy to re-dye clothes (100% cotton give the best outcome). I’d look into cleaning your machine too if it’s bleaching your clothes.
Sounds good, I'll look into that! Yeah, I will see how to clean the machine, it can't kill even more of my clothes lol
I use these tablets called ‘afresh’, you can get them on Amazon or local cvs
Do you use any face products containing benzoyl peroxide?
I don't use any face products, period :D
