Washing Machine Sludge

Hopefully this is the right place, you will normally find me lurking in the Utilities and Motoring boards :) My built in Indesit washer-dryer has got this horrid problem. It's had it for a while but just recently it's started to affect my clean clothes. My current washing habits: - Use just about enough liquid detergent…

seabright oddly enough my last wm engineer (who had to condemn my 12 y/o machine, I've had its replacement for 6 years so far) said the opposite, that the soda crystals together with washing powder is the best thing to use. Maybe they all go on whatever their wives or mothers do!

I use a 40c short wash for my towels and bedding as they don't really get dirty and a 30c regular wash for everything else. I couldn't afford to use any more electricity or expensive washing liquids, I'm happy that what I do works for me.
