I ran a load of light permanent press and our best white towels together. And when everything came out of the dryer one large bath towel (only one mind you) had spattering of cloudy dark stains. My wife was sadly upset. The towel is almost as long as I am tall. Stand back and the pattern of blotches look like a half baked Shroud of Turin. I know for sure the washing machine was empty before I loaded it. I know I checked all pockets for things that shouldn't be part of the load. And I know the dryer was empty before I loaded it. The lint screen was cleaned before drying. Trapped lint after drying shows no sign of black anything. I've never seen this happen before. This is worse than missing a sock.
