Some metals become dissolved in either well water or come from old metal pipes, which creates rust, a common problem which can result in reddish brown to orange spots.How do you fix a bleach stain on towels? Dampen all the towels. Run the hot water in the sink until it’s very hot. Dissolve 1 cup of salt into 2 cups of hot water. Put in the first towel and stir it around in its dye bath. Launder towels in cold water. Dry in hot dryer. Repeat on any towels that still have stains.
