Garments which contain unstable dyes, such as denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the dryer interior. Even after cleaning, these stains may reappear when similar loads are dried. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads of clothes. It may be helpful to dry unstable dye items inside out to prevent dye transfer.
