White marks on clothes.

Options
Is it my fault for using the wrong powder?

I bought Ariel Champ White with the tennis thing on it, mainly because it was on offer, I am wondering is it only for 'whites' (doesn't say) as it's leaving white marks on my coloureds!

I have had to do a few washes over again:mad: I haven't had this with other powders.

Anyone else expreienced this please?

    I used to get this too (I've never used Ariel Champ White though), try using less powder, it worked for me.

    I've also had this trouble with white marks and I now use less washing powder than they advise you to on the pack and get much better results.:rolleyes:

    No, the for whites aspect will mean it will contain a bleaching agent and so it will fade coloured items a lot quicker than "for colours" powders.

    The white marks that you describe sound more like excess washing powder that hasnt disolved either because you are using too much powder or are over loading the machine with washing
