Things we've done:
- Run the tab of Affresh you gave us.
- Carefully measure 1 tablespoon (or less) of HE detergent on each load.
- Run using the "Deep Wash" setting with medium temperature.
- Re-rinse clothes. This fixes some of the residue, but never all of it.
Notes:
- Bridget does not wash towels or anything that could add lint / residue when she's washing clothes.
- Most of the time my dark clothes (T-shirts and pants) have the same residue as Bridget's scrubs.
- Bridget is using the same HE Tide detergent she used in her apartment. The apartment had a very basic agitator-style washer that did not exhibit this problem.
- Bridget's daughter is now living in the same apartment that Bridget did, and also doesn't have problems. She's a nurse as well, and her scrubs also come out clean.
