just wondering really with my washing machine, you used to see it nice and bubbly years ago but now I don't see any! I try and add stuff to the drawer to make it bubbly but nothing! where have all the bubbles gone nowdays?

Is it a new washing machine? Modern ones don't use as much water as the old ones did.

Modern detergents don't make as much suds as they used to eityer.

Might be the detergent formulation changing. But don't worry - bubbles don't mean clean so it's probably working fine. The cleaning bits of the ingredients don't foam but we've got used to equating bubbles with cleanliness - they don't need to be there.
