How to get rid of detergent soap marks on clothes.which leaves white marks after wash on dark colored clothes?

Question

where the fabric looks after wash as if it got faded. Is it the problem with the soap or the fabric?

Answer 1

Switch to liquid soap or add powder to water and let dissolve before adding clothes.

Answer 2

I have some shirts that get whitened in spots because the dye on the fabric is cheap. But I also get white stuff on my black jeans when all the soap doesn't wash out. Maybe you should dry a liquid detergent if you're using a powder soap. Also, you might want to try the laundry soap that helps fabrics keep their color.

Answer 3

If using a liquid soap instead is not an option, I would advise disolving the powdered detergent in warm water before adding to the washer, or starting the water running and putting the detergent in to begin disolution before putting the laundry in. You are probably getting the detergent directly on the clothing and that is contributing to the spots on the laundry.

Answer 4

I can suggest you first give the machine & the pipes and clean. You can do this by putting your machine on the highest setting, which is normally 90ºc, Run your the machine , no clothes, add 1 cup of bleach do the same again and add 1 cup of vinegar. It also might be a good idea to rub some natural soap on the collar and the bottom of the shirt, before putting it in the machine. Also try with liquid washing detergent.

Answer 5

Detergent residue on clothes is caused by undissolved powder or solids put in by the manufacturer to reduce costs.Further
too little water or too many items stuffed into the washer restricts the free movement of the clothes in the water and also
traps the washing powder in between the folds of clothes being washed leaving unsightly streaks

Answer 6

it is the problem with the way of washing.
rub the soap gently over the fabric. u can liquify the soap and use for best results. you can ger rid off the marks by rinsing and squeezing fully with enough water 2 or 3 times.
the excess soap will go off if proper rinsing and sqeezing.

Answer 7

Typically, this type of problem is from using powdered soaps on dark clothes... you can rewash the clothes (without detergent) to help get rid of the powder residue. Or, you might try the Woolite Dark detergent...that may help get rid of the light colored blotches too.

In our family, we use powder on the whites, and liquids on the darks ;)

Have Fun!

Answer 8

Your soap did not dissolve. Use warmer water at first so it dissolves then adjust to cold water. Add clothes after the washer is 1/2 full of water.

Answer 9

you use to much soap. re wash and put the soap in the water and let dissolve first. don't put the soap on top of the clothes

Answer 10

You are most likely using cheap soap. Use name brand soap...I always use gain...and use the liquid kind, not the powder. OR you are using powder soap on a cold setting and it is not dissolving.
