    Does anyone else have this problem? My darks come out with white spots on them. It sort of looks like I use powder detergent but I don’t – I use liquid. Any idea what the problem could be?

    Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

    white bleach spots, or something that comes off?

    Not bleach. It comes off (most of it) with a lot of rubbing. But still doesn’t look right. It’s so annoying.

    Help with your laundry… well I usually charge $8.75 an hour, I guess I could go down a bit ..

    Anyways, check to see there’s no tissues or papers stuffed in pockets.

    Maybe it’s white crayon if it happened in the dryer.

    I also have laundry problemS. Here’s one of them, which is driving me crazy! On some of my white shirts there are these “clear” stains. I don’t really know how to describe it, but it is not a stain with color but it makes the shirt like see through. I have no idea what this is. Waiting for your expert advice! Thanks very much!!

    squeak – that’s very slick

    Are the spots shiny? If not, it’s probably just worn through, which is incurable if you don’t count patching it as fixing it.

    SiDi: Replacing them generally solves the problem.

    Should really get married and never have to touch the stuff again.

    Litlle Froggie: ur a little too expensive 😉 But seriously – nope – no tissues, papers, etc.

    rebyidd: nope – no crayons either. And it’s not worn through – these are real stains that appear after washing. And as i said, if i rub well enough it will come off, but it’s such a pain.

    squeak: are you serious or joking? if serious, please elaborate.

    Syag: good one!

    Do you notice the stains after washing or after drying? The easiest fix would probably be to test another detergent.

    Bleach sometimes eats away at the fabric. That’s what I meant.

    One more thing, is it possible you’re using a lot of detergent and the stains are soap residue?

    Oh, and welcome back 🙂

    kapusta: thanks for the suggestions. I think I will try a new detergent and maybe less than what they say to use.

    And thanks for the welcome back 🙂

    Try doing a “2nd rinse”. Or use a smaller load see if it happens with both loads to isolate the problem.

    It could be the detergent you are using or perhaps one of the fabrics is leaking onto the others. Sometimes new clothes and towels can shed in the wash the first few washes.

    mod 42: thanks for the info. but i tried 2nd rinse and also tried smaller load. it was a dark wash so none of the fabrics would have leaked a white color.

    so far this is just a mystery.

    i’ll let everyone know if i figure out a way to get rid of this problem.

    thanks everyone!

    Welcome back SIDI…

    I don’t know…you never know, I used to get these gray stains on the top of my shirt….turns out it was from all the mousse in my hair (not chocalate, or the animal, yes there is something called hair mousse) that I put so my curls would stop being so frizzy (puffy….I don’t know how to explain frizz to men)

    I switched hair products and always dry my hair or put a towel on my shirt till it dries…

    You really never know what the problem could be…

    Shopping, thanks for the welcome back!

    Umm, I don’t use any frizzy things for my hair so I guess we are not having the same problem. Glad you figured out what was making mousse on your clothing!
