Weird stains on my clean washing

[GraemeC]

Hi all, thanks for reading!

The problem i am having is that after i have done my washing i am finding weird stains on my shirts.
It looks as if the "liquitab" has not dissolved properly.
Does anyone know why?
I have three theories: 1. i am putting too much washing in the machine so not enough water can circulate or 2. because i have been putting the liquitab in the middle of the wash again not enough water is getting to it or 3. a combination of both.
I have just sat here and watched a wash (so sad!)and there seems to be no problem with the waste or the water flow into the machine.

any advice on this gratefully recieved

I'm about to add a fourth reason! my washing machine developed a fault and although heated the water it wasn't to the correct temperature. because of this the liquitab didn't dissolve completely.I did find by re washing the "stained" items separately, the temperature was able to dissolve on the second occasion and the stain disappeared.I haven't repaired or replaced the machine yet as appliance will be replaced after kitchen renovations, so, don't know whats actually wrong or how much to fix.sorry

it is the liquitab not dissolving - had it loads of times - spotted using the damn things ages ago - and back on washing tabs that go in the drawer and liquid softener - much better

That's funny echokilo, I have switched from tabs that go in the drawer to liquitabs.

Why? Because we kept getting white powdery marks on dark items where the tabs were not dissolving - and they were prooer ones too, not cheapies.

I think you are wrong to put the tab in the middle of the wash Graeme. Try putting it on the top. It will get wetter quicker on the outside of the washing. Also use a full length wash, not a quick one.

I use Bold Liquitabs without any problem. But it does say on the box to place the liquitab on the bottom of the washing machine drum, before loading the clothes. Hope this helps.
