Question
Explain why often coloured spots are formed on clothes during washing.
Solution
The laundry, skincare, beauty, and personal hygiene products that we use commonly can cause stains and color changes in our clothes. Toothpaste, perspiration, facial soap, deodorants, hair sprays, strong perfumes with alcohol, and even rain are often the causes of stains on garments. All these stains may eventually dry up, not causing any visible stain; however, age and exposure to heat will cause them to reappear.
