Yeah maybe I should probably use some Washing machine cleaner, and I’m not sure if I should use the liquid-based ones or a different one, personally my preference is powder where possible | ||

Fettläuse
is the English word Louis couldn`t say. LOL...just kidding...
Could come from a build up in the Brandt but they can happen in a clean washer too if a load is soiled with lots of body oils, oils from personal care products, ointments and so on along with too little detergent. CLICK HERE TO GO TO mrboilwash's LINK | ||

Replies #6 and #7 Both Wikipedia pages do not mention or reference any source, and hence they are both unacceptable and unreliable according to the norms of Wikipedia itself. The google-translated version of the pages does not give a better impression | ||

That`s correct there`s no reference to any sources in the Wikipedia articles but this does not necessarily mean it`s all made up. Well, it might not be 100% accurate.
The German technical term of "Fatlice" (translated word by word) is well established by Henkel and Miele just to name a few. What is new to me is the destructive impact on aluminum spiders which makes perfect sense to me. I`m not a biologist but I can very well imagine that the bacteria in a moist biofilm in a washer makes an acidic environment just like the plaque on teeth does. Aluminum is attacked by acids, isn`t? Don`t need any references to believe this. On Fettläuse in general I can gladly share more reputable sources than Wikipedia. www.merkur.de/leben/wohne... www.t-online.de/heim-garten/haus... | ||

Oh yeah the point of reference I actually did the wash at 60 Because I like to make sure that I’m getting washes that are either over 50° or something that is truly hot | ||

I think those dark spots on the lid of the washer in reply #1 rule out anything gritty like loosened hard water deposits, lint or zeolite residue.
While the hotter the better is true to get out greasy stains from clothes a hot wash can`t do much about to keep dissolved grease and oils in suspension if the detergent has been underdosed. There are limits to Sinner`s Circle. Even if the detergent is just about enough to keep oils suspended during the wash a grease laden load might still result in the formation of grease balls during the rinses. Even more so if FS is used. I`m always alarmed if I don`t see any suds in the rinses. The only exception would be if I used a zero suds detergent or natural soap to begin with which I don`t. But most likely you`ve done everything right and there`s just a nasty build up in the washer from previous owner. | ||

Oh dear God no, I religiously check my pockets to make sure that there’s nothing left in them so I don’t understand How chocolate would’ve gotten in if I did find chocolate | ||

Automatic corrector I think that RP2813 / Ralph referred to the fact that the title of this topic reads "Lindt" instead of "lint" | ||

Oh dear God, yeah that was auto correct In collaboration and combination with Speech to text, from my understanding I thought his question meant that the grime left on my laundry was somehow chocolate | ||
