Oose and washing

July, 27 May, 2008 at 12:07 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 13

How do you stop getting oose (sp) on your clothes. I've noticed with the dark washing that most of the clothes end up like this. I have a black top/t-shirt that I used to wear to work but its covered in white specks.

I've turned the clothes inside out, stopped using softener, used less washing powder, used different programmes (with high and low temperatures), no difference.

Any ideas./advice?

    do you mean ooze? as in gloopy soap markings?

    no idea ?

    I have the same problem, usually just wipe with a wet cloth. ive heard it could be scum left over in the washing machine, try putting the machine on a cycle but empty so it cleans itself a bit

    I have no idea what you mean, but from the last description it's not anything I've ever experienced.

    Every so often I put my washing machine on an empty 90 wash which I have been told helps clean out the machine - that might help.

    I've never heard it called that before ?. I don't normally have this problem but washing dark clothes together and then if things have bits then I'd stick the stuff in the dryer for 10 minutes just to get it off.

    I've tried that, plus its quite a new machine, less than 6 months old. But it was the same with my old machine but not just as bad.

    I will try it again and see if it makes a difference.

    <sings> Washing machines live longer with calgon </sings>

    I call it fluff and a good tumble dry with JML dryer balls sorts it out for me. Of course that only works if they're tumble dryerable ?

    I wasn't even thinking that it was a word only used in Scotland. Have always called fluff - oose.

    OH had a black shirt like that too and I binned it but now there are a few other things that have went the same way.
