Sounds like my water. I use a half cap of Calgon and a full cap of Biokleen detergent. I also have to make sure all my dipes are super super rinsed before adding detergent.

Thanks nana, I remembered someone used Biokleen detergent! Do you use main stream detergent for regular laundry?  

Nope. I use Biokleen on everything.

I have a Samsung tl and I do a normal cycle but on heavy soil. The heavy soil makes it agitate longer. Mine uses not much water to wash but a loooot of water to rinse.

I just did a hot water strip yesterday, so I am going to try the normal cycle on heavy soil on tomorrows wash.

That is a very pretty machine with a horrible manual. My quick thoughts is that that's high capacity, so I could see that it would be adding too much water (although unusual with a FL). So I would try using a regular cycle. Also, you are using HE Tide, right?

Lol that was my though after we bought it and I saw the manual!  It is a high capacity washer and yes I am using the HE tide.

I would try a normal cycle then and see how much water goes in.

So since I did a hot water strip yesterday, I am going to try the normal wash cycle on heavy soil with a small decrease in detergent.
Sound good?

[MapleMe]

Sounds good to me!

Thanks ladies!

[rrrrrachel]

Yes. Just with the detergent. If it's REALLY bad you can use it in your rinse cycle too via the fabric softener dispenser.

Five.
