Help!!!
I have succeeded in ruining almost all of my shirts in the past few months. Three months ago we got a stackable front loading washer dryer. We bought it used from a friend. I continued to use the laundry soap so many of us on this forum make at home. I have noticed spots that look like leftover grease spots on my shirts. I have tried soaking them in Oxyclean, bleaching the white ones, checking for leftover grease in the machine, and spraynwash to no avail. I hate to toss out all my shirts before I've consulted all of you for ideas. They are all 100% cotton. Thanks so much!

If it's not illegal, unsafe, or immoral, why not try anything once? Who knows? You may come back for a second helping! |

I'll check!
Thanks for all the ideas.
I'll wash it out before I do another load.
Have a great day!

I'd bet Alee is onto something with her idea about it being something in your dryer. I remember once washing and drying my ex husband's jeans and work shirts and everything seemed fine till I did the next load of my clothes. One of his black permanent markers had been left in a shirt pocket and when my clothes came out of the dryer they were totally ruined. Black marker everywhere. I was just a wee bit upset with him for not emptying pockets and me for not checking that he did. My bets on the dryer too. Good luck!

I bet it isn't the clothes. I bet something greasy like chapstick got dried in the drier before you got it and as you dry your clothes- it's coming off on them. Try washing out the inside of the dryer and then drying a load of towels or rags that don't matter if they get spotted. I am not 100% sure but I think you just have to wait it out if the washing doesn't get rid of it.
