OMG!!! Earlier onI took out a duvet cover I had bought very cheaply in a sale. It came out with the weirdest markings on it - looked like a white/grey map of train lines. I assumed the duvet cover must have been cheap tat in the first place, but have put it in the (LONG grrr) Rinse (30 mins just to rinse! That is without a spin) to see if it helps - it didn't occur to me that it might be unrinsed washing powder, until I read your comment above.

I will report back with my findings (I'm turning into some washing machine moany old git with nothing better to do here! LOL).

UPDATE: The problem appears to me to be a combination of both! Cheap tat duvet cover where the markings look like crease lines from the machine that have had not properly rinsed water on it and has somehow, not bleached it, but similar. Hmmm.....

Could also be caused by over-filling the drum?

My hubby complains about these marks, couldn't understand why I never get them on the loads I put in the machine then I watched him loading the machine one day and he was rammimng so much in there was no room for it to move around!
