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
