If it is a case of white streaks rather than bits, from a tissue for example, then this has been happening in mine for a while and the only solution has been to turn dark clothes inside out before washing. It really does work.
I use only liquid in mine (blue liquid) so it definitely isn't that.

I seem to get greyish streaks on my laundry sometimes but am not sure what is causing this. Any ideas please?
I never use the recommended amount of powder, as it wouldn't rinse out! The door seal and dispensers are all clean and I've run a 90C wash with white vinegar - but this is still happening.

I've had greyish streaks when there is a powder buildup between the edge of the drum and the rubber seal. Happens when you drag the washing out of the machine. Try getting your fingers wrapped in a J-cloth or similar between the drum and the seal, not just into the flap of the rubber seal.

Thanks Slinky, I will try that.
