Gillybob , hope you are feeling better,, I might try soda chrystals in the machine , I just can't understand why this is still happening , the machine is only two years old , so I wouldn't have thought the seal has gone, but the things don't last as long as they used too anymore

This has been happening to me for a while . I eventually replaced the rubber seal and it was fine for a while (or so it seemed) and then went back to my white clothes coming out with grey marks all over them. Dark clothes have white /grey streaks too.

I tried cleaning my machine with all sorts of special cleaners all to no avail. Have started putting a scoop of soda crystals in with my wash to see if this helps . Fingers crossed.

Help,please , a few weeks ago I got the clothes out of the washing machine, they had dirty marks on some of them which turned out to be like a gunge, on inspection I found a soapy gunge all round the rubber seal of the machine, I cleaned it all off, used a washing machine cleaner and all was well until tonight wash has come out with marks on as before, Has this happened to anyone else and did you find any thing better to clean it, I use soap pods would this have anything to do with it,,
