was wondering if you have any ideas how to stop small spots that appear on
t-shirts after I wash them. I've tried changing laundry detergent, as well
as filling the tub up halfway before I put my shirts in, but each time,
there's one or two t-shirts that have a series of small stains that almost
look like oil stains. They aren't there before I put them in the wash.
They don't show up on ANY other fabrics-even others in the same load.
Thanks for any advice you can give me!

Do you use fabric softener? Sometimes it can leave oily looking spots on
clothes, especially if you use the downy ball.

I agree, I found that diluting fabric softener with water before pouring it
into the washer will keep it from spotting my clothes.

This was happening to me last year. I called a repair man and he said it was
from inside the machine. I don't remember what it was specifically but he
recommended I get a new machine. It would've cost too much to repair it and
it was old.

So, what did you do? Me, if it was just doing it to T-shirts, I'd be wearing
spotted Ts until the machine completely quit.

I got a new machine. I work in a hospital and wear a white blouse to work
everyday. I was getting pissed off seeing my nice white tops getting ruined.
Also, the spotting was getting worse over time. I think I remember now that
he said it was the transmission. Do washing machines have transmissions?

Yes bonnie they do have transmissions and when the seals start to go it will
put grease spots on your clothes. I think what threw so many people off is
you stated it only happened to T-shirts. and usually it is all the clothes.
Also when the bearings start to go in the dryer it can do the same thing.
