Are you using washing powders or liquid? If you are using powder, then this is soap residue from incompletely dissolved powder. Put the washing powder in FIRST because it will have more time to dissolve before being spread throughout the wash. Also use less powder. Most manufacturers provide a graduated measuring scoop to gauge the size of the load. Most likely you are using too much powder for the size of your load. A rule of thumb when you are washing darks is to use about 1/4 less soap than you think you need. A little practice will ensure that the clothes will be clean but spot free using less washing powders.

Other causes might be that you are crowding your machine. Put your wash in dry before you turn on the machine. The clothes should fit in the machine without pushing them down or packing. After all, the water must circulate throughout the clothes freely much like washing yourself. When there is too much in the machine, the clothes don't turn with the agitator and the washing materials don't dissolve correctly because the clothes are pressing on the soap, sticking to the clothes.

When was the last time you wiped out your machine? Like all surfaces anywhere, the drum of your machine needs to be cleaned periodically. Soap residue will cling to the bottom and the sides of your machine just like your kitchen sink. A wipe about once a month will take care of the problem.

If you use a liquid fabric softener in your machine, skip adding it when you wash darks. Fabric softener is another culprit. You have added enough softener when you washed the whites and brights so there is sufficient softener clinging to the sides of the machine when you do darks.

Finally, check pockets carefully when you wash. Turn out deep pockets so that the lint in them can fall out in the wash cycle. This will prevent accidental washing of tissues and receipts which will leave lint on your clothes.

Why is the moon so dark?

The moon appears dark because it does not produce its own light. Instead, it reflects sunlight, and its surface is covered in dark rocks and dust that absorb light rather than reflecting it. This lack of light reflection makes the moon appear dark to us on Earth.


Why does dust stick to mirrors?

Dust sticks to mirrors due to electrostatic forces. When dust particles come in contact with the smooth surface of the mirror, they adhere to the surface because of these forces. Additionally, any moisture or oils on the mirror can also help dust particles stick to it.


When a ray of sunlight enters a dark room its straight path become visible because of dust particles hanging in the air?

Yes, when sunlight enters a dark room, it illuminates the dust particles in the air, making their path visible. The light scatters off the dust particles, creating a visible beam that shows the straight path traveled by the light.


How do dust snowflakes form in the atmosphere?

Dust snowflakes form in the atmosphere when tiny dust particles serve as nuclei for ice crystals to grow around. These dust particles can come from sources like soil, pollution, or volcanic ash, and when they attract water vapor, they form the structure of a snowflake.


When ray of sunlight entres a dark room its straight path become visible because of dust particles?

Yes, when sunlight enters a dark room, its path becomes visible due to the dust particles in the air reflecting and scattering the light. This phenomenon is known as the Tyndall effect. The dust particles act as tiny mirrors that make the light rays visible as they pass through the room.

Would a black ceiling fan show a lot more dust than the typical white ceiling fan?

A black ceiling fan is likely to show the same amount of dust, unless the dust is dark in color. For instance, it could be mold spores or soot particles from candles. In this case a black fan will be less likely to show the particles.
