Hibiclens contains the dye Red 40. Red 40 is an acid dye and it will stain nylon and other polyamide fibers. Washcloths and towels should be okay.

it does in a apparent indelible way. red dye 40 is not the problem as chlorehexidine without the dye will stain linen. the stain becomes visible when bleach interacts with it. nothing i have ever seen will remove the stain once bleach has "set" the stain. the only way to remove the stain is to get a pair of scissors. it can be masked with various reagents, but the stain will reappear if bleach is used.
