Hey there, Kristin. Thank you so much for giving our pods a try. We're sorry to hear about the stains. With our numerous quality checks, we shouldn't expect this. It could be possible that the load was overloaded. For the best results, we recommend putting the pod in first, and being sure there aren't too many absorbent items in your load. Try rinsing the fabric under hot running water and be sure it doesn't go over care label instructions, then wash the fabric again using one pod. It should work, but for further assistance, please call us at (800) 879-8433.
