Why Your Towels Get Orange Stains That Won’t Wash Out – And How to Stop Them for Good

Signs this is your issue:
Stains appear after washing or drying

Orange discoloration also appears in sinks or toilets

You use well water or live in a hard-water region

2. Benzoyl Peroxide (In Acne Products)
This is one of the biggest culprits.
Face washes, spot treatments, and body washes containing benzoyl peroxide bleach and oxidize fabric, leaving orange or rust-colored patches.

Signs this is your issue:
Towels used after washing your face show more staining

Pillowcases or shirts also show orange or bleached-looking spots

Spots are in areas that touch skin

3. Makeup Residue
Foundations, self-tanners, bronzers, and some blushes contain pigments (especially iron oxides) that cling to fabric fibers—even after washing.

Signs this is your issue:
You dry your face on towels after applying or removing makeup

Towels used in bathrooms with humid, makeup-filled air stain faster

Stains look like smudges or finger wipes

4. Self-Tanner and Bronzing Lotions
DHA (dihydroxyacetone), the active ingredient in sunless tanning products, can leave behind orange or brown streaks that become permanent when heat-set in the dryer.
