How come sometimes it seems that my laundry soap leaves spots on my clothes?

Carmelina Enoch: It really depends on the brand of soap. The cheaper brands actually tend to make your laundry smell more like the soap. What I have noticed is that instead of focusing on the soap, focus on the softener and dryer sheets. Those are what will make your clothes smell good. If you like the smell, I know I have gotten alot of compliments on the way my clothes smell after using the new snuggle that smells like sandalwood and lavender. You may not like the smell, I do. But I have been told by numerous people how good I smell and I definitely wasn't wearing perfume at the time. Try that and see how it works out. Hope this helps....Show more

Perry Deshazior: Here is the right way to use detergent....! .put the water in and get it about 1/4 full, then add the soap (no clothes) make sure the soap is dissolved, then add the clothers. Putting detergent directly on clothes is what spots them up. And always use color safe detergent for dark clothes to prevent fading. dark clothes fading is the #1 problem using regular detergent. I have done my laundry this way for about 50 years and have never had a spotting problem.
