In 2003 this discussion thread gave a few insights but hopefully I can
get more updated information. I was getting oil spots on my clothes
periodically, new Tshirts, cotton especially effected. I bought a
new-used washer and dryer and the problem continues. I tried
separating wash then line dry and wash then machine dry. It is so
intermittent hard to pinbpoint. I do not use softener dryer sheets (one
suggested problem). I have a lot of ruined clothing! But what a hassle
to have a W/D and still pump money in a laundramat. Any experience in
this problem appreciated!
