I second it's probably from cooking or cleaning. But if you know for
sure that there was no oil going into the laundry I would actually
suspect the washing machine and not the dryer. Had this happen years
ago. Started as just a couple of spots on a few items. Then one day
something let go in the washer and there was black oil spots on
everything. The washer went to washer heaven after that as it was more
then 30 yrs old. But the oil spots in the beginning were clear oil spots.

To get stains out I usually use Tide and put directly on spot and rub a
little. Let sit and wash again. However you need to check for color
fastness and all that stuff. Or you could try what ever laundry soap you
have. I just find Tide the best for that. Not sure what else to try.
Good Luck

Do you have any Dawn liquid dish soap? That is a good degreaser and
I've used it to spot clean T shirts before washing. Also, so you use
liquid fabric softener? I've found that sometimes it will leave spots
on clothes if the rinse water pressure coming in to the machine isn't
strong enough or fast enough to dilute the softener. My old washing
machine was famous for doing that! Donna

I think I'm going to try rewashing by hand and hanging to dry. That way
I can spot on extra Tide to start (that's my usual soap) and then avoid
dryer sheets (in case that's the problem).

Weird that it only seems to be MY clothes that are affected. :)

I think it could be the dryer sheets. I've had it happen to me a couple
times, especially if it's a full load and the sheet gets "stuck" to one or
two items and doesn't circulate through the whole load. If that's the
cause, just a regular cycle in the machine will re move it!

When it happened to me, it was my washer too. New one solved the problem.
