Just purchased a new Bravos Maytag washer. Dark clothes of all fabric types (we have maroon bedsheets) come out with streaks of lint. We had the dealer send a service person and we’re told that we must use the dryer in order for the lint to come off. I USE A CLOTHESLINE year round. It’s VERY important to me from a number of perspectives. The irony is that energy efficiency in a washer results in the need to USE EVEN MORE energy by operating a clothes dryer. This is not progress
Hi @duckexpatriot , Just wondering if there is too much of a washing load in the machine, especially when you wash bedding. I agree that it shouldn’t happen and that a full load is a full load regardless but try washing with reduced loads or a higher water level for a lesser load to see if it resolves the problem. It may be that the washing is not being rinsed properly thereby not flushing the lint (or the excess detergent) away. Also try using less detergent. You may find that the washing machine manufacturers specify using less detergent for a certain load size than what the detergent manufacturers specify. No prizes for guessing why this is. ;-) I’m using half the amount of detergent to what is specified by the detergent makers with no noticeable difference and no “lint”.
