Are you refering to a white kinda smeary look on your clothes after you wash them? If so this is probably due to your detergent not disolving completly. You are either putting too much soap in or using a low quality soap. If you are dead set on using powder detergent you need to let the water fill up in the washer a bit and then add the powder and stir to disolve the soap, and then add clothes. But the easiest thing to do is to switch to a liquid detergent. I recomend Purex it's cheap and works wonders, and most importantly no white smeary stuff!

As noted above, I've gotten lint from dirty filters [that was a really old, overused machine in a college dorm]; and from stuff in my pockets [oops]; and I've had too much soap; and dry soap that didn't dissolve when I overloaded the washer and put the soap on top. I also got lint from terrycloth [towel, washcloth, bathrobe, etc.] on almost anything else I washed it with, so I now do "the bath stuff" in a separate load.
I don't know of any 'thing' you can put in a washer to stop lint, but I do suggest: 1- Check the filter once in awhile; 2- Be sure all pockets are empty; 3- Use a little less soap, and put it in before your clothes; 4- Don't overload; and 5- Do your terrycloth or other loose, fluffy fabrics separately.

that lint filter that is in the agitator is easily forgotten, by me. So now I got in the habit to clean the washer out periodically, about once a month, and then I clean the filter out well. I was told by a repair man, that the agitator should be loosend occasionally as well, and totally removed and cleaned, that however is stuck, and I am unable to loosen it, the washer is old now, and when the new one arrives it will be the one that sits higher so I will not be getting a backache from bending over any more. That is the best ting since "sliced bread," I am very happy someone finally thought about my back. Consider getting a new washer, it is certain to take care of your lint problem and some other ones as well.

Check and make sure there arent clothes that have pockets full of tissue or lil things that could cause lint.
Make sure you never wash clothes with towels. Wash seperately in different loads. Towels are known for putting lint on clothes. Ive been there done that.
Try Running your washer with nothing in it, for one cycle, this may clean it out and give it a chance to get rid of the unwanted lint your getting.

The washer does not "put" lint on the clothes. Dry your clothes in a dryer with a clean lint trap and/or get a lint brush or something if it bothers you that much.

Getting air bypass with the aid of them... and heat air if conceivable is the main suitable way. humorous tale that passed off to a chum of mine some years lower back... we've been working in a hotel and had a communal changing area in the kitchen, which additionally had a showering device and dryer for the chef whites. The resident workers could additionally use the washer and dryer at night for his or her own clothing. only above the dryer exchange right into a coat rack. between the chefs had his leather-based jacket hung up on it most of the time as he not often went out without going for the time of the kitchens... besides, one night the cellarman exchange into doing his laundry and the chef's jacket fell down into his washing pile and he only didnt word (cellarmen arent in many circumstances the main circumspect people on the better of circumstances, they have an inclination to be completely pissed as that's an element of their activity!)... besides, the jacket went for the time of the washer and the dryer and got here out very, very small... truthfully hilarious for each individual 'cept the chef, who exchange into gutted! Funniest ingredient i could seen for years on the time.

Run it empty thru an entire cycle. But generally, it is the dryer that will pill clothes. Or it's mixing things in the wash like sweaters and towels that will cause lint.

You must have an older typeof washer with a filter in the top where you open the lid. Remove and clean out, if that's not the case you may use a fabric softener, always check your laundry before washing and never put fuzzy bathrobes and towels in with other laundry, try to wash "like-kind" fabrics together.

Could be a tissue in the pocket of something you dried. There shouldn't be any lint on them if your lint filter is cleaned out before use.

you can wipe the washer out after use and that way it won't have a lot of lint in it the next time you use it. or just make sure you empty your pockets before you wash clothes.
also when you dry the clothes, make sure you empty the lint trap before using it each time. or do like i do and empty it after use so you know its empty the next time you use it.
