Possibly rust spots. To avoid tub rust, leave the lid in the open
position after promptly removing clothes.

The spots could be something else. Perhaps something left in a
pocket? Do you have a water softener? Do you remove clothes
immediately after a load cycles completes?

Every once in awhile we'll find an article of clothes with ugly (and
seemingly unremovable) spots after removing it from our washer. It was
a mere annoyance when it would happen to a t-shirt but now a nice
skirt of my wife's has been ruined!

A photo of the skirt is below (ignore the obvious moisture from a
spraying of 'shout')

The area of spots is always localized on the clothing. Usually only 1
article of clothings is affected, not the entire wash. There are black
spots and also some reddish spots.

Seems to happen with both cold and warm loads.

We assume it's the washer and not a problem with our water system as
it only affects one part of an item of clothing. But we could be wrong
there. Think we need a new washer? Or is this something that can be
repaired? Or do you think it's something other than the washer itself?
This item was hung to dry.

Again please see the photo below.

Thanks.
