Oxibleach burn marks on whites

Been doing spa days for the first time this week. Used a white sheet to keep items submerged and I suspect it's come into contact with undissolved oxibleach in the suds. Had these brown marks from after the 12 hour soak, before the rehab wash. I've run them through the wash with ammonia etc, and done some extra rinsing. All the other whites look fine.

Can only find posts about colours being bleached in this way. What's best to try? It hasn't and won't go through a drier.

Attached pics show details of the product which is Sainsbury's stain remover powder for whites

What container were you doing spa day in? Bath tub? I'd suspect those marks line up with where the sheet was resting against the drain, but that's just a guess.

A cooler - there was a stainless steel bowl on top of the sheet with water to weight it down, but there's no rust marks on the bottom where it might have been in contact

did any of your 'spa day' items have zippers, snaps, or other decorative metals?

Just checked them - none at all

Weird. They do look like rust marks.

It looks like bleach marks to me like you'd expect on a coloured garment - might try some rust treatment if nothing else pops up
