AdviceLaundry question
About a year ago I got some cute green cargo pants. Love. But then I started noticing after washes they looked like they had oil spots on them. I would try stain treating them but they got worse. It got bad enough I can't wear them anymore because it looks like I got something all over them.
Well, I got some new pants, light gray this time. I just washed them for the first time and THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING! These are brand new and they fit so cute 😭
Does anyone have any clue why this is happening? It has happened with different types of detergent. Is my washer just too old and it's got something in there that is staining my clothes? This has only happened to my cargo pants, no jeans, no tops, no active wear. Help!
Get yourself some washing machine cleaning tablets, and see if your machine has a cleaning cycle option. I would try that.
For sure it doesn't have a cleaning cycle option but I will look up a how-to tomorrow lol
I've had this machine for 12 years and it was a hand-me-down, they'd had it at least a decade before me. It's a sturdy sucker. I did used to clean it from time to time but it's been so long now idk how.
You can use 2 cups of white vinegar, or 2 cups of white vinegar and 1 cup of bicarbonate of soda, or or 500g washing soda crystals and the hottest cycle.
