# How to Clean a Washer That Is Leaving Brown Marks on White Laundry
If your white clothes are coming out of the washer with brown spots, rust is the likely culprit. Your washing machine tub can rust if you have high iron content in your water. The rust in the tub may then transfer to your laundry. Clean rust from your washing machine tub at first sight to protect your clothes and help prevent the rust from spreading.
