This seems like an appropriate thread for a question I've had for some time now. I launder and iron my own shirts. However, for some time now I've occasionally had a white dress shirt come out with a slightly dark spot on the point of the collar. This has happened on multiple shirts, and actually in more than one washing machine/dryer. The dark spot is often a bit difficult to remove, and sometimes I only lighten it by allowing it to soak in detergent before washing again and then it gradually wears off to the point that it isn't noticeable any longer. I've found recently that Shout gel works a little better.
That said, does anyone have an idea about what might be causing this or has anyone had the same experience? It has irritated the heck out of me for a while, especially if I only notice it after I've nearly finished the ironing and then have to just throw it back into the wash - then be irritated when I wear it later and still notice the slightly off color spot on the collar point.
