Did you use liquid fabric softener? Sometimes it leaks out in my machine and leaves the clothes with blue streaks.

Uch so frustrating! I don’t have advice but I’ve had this in the past and use Free & Clear in white loads since then.

I don't have little kids so it's not from bubbles
And it wasn't white shirt load it was light color clothing that had white on it and I don't use fabric softener

Could be that the detergent dispensed directly onto the clothing too long before the machine filled with water. Try diluting the detergent 1:4 with water before adding it to the machine, or if you have a top loader, adding detergent to the drum as the machine fills, agitating briefly, and only then adding the clothing.

It's also possible that you have copper water pipes, and the blue stains are deposits of copper salts.

Go to a website called "love to know" and search "blue laundry stains" for various methods to reduce and prevent such stains.

I just had this. I had to re wash everything 2-3x and it came out. I used a little bleach in the bleach dispenser which did not ruin my clothing. Don’t throw away your things. Keep re washing. Also my washing machine has a soak cycle which I also used when re washing.
