Interesting you should say that. This last load of socks I ran, I watched more closely in the machine and I saw suds -not a lot but some.
These days, I'm collecting dirty socks in a bucket of water with and ounce or so of bleach. When I have enough of them, I run a load -with NO soap or bleach and a second rinse cycle.
On top of that, I've now started soaking the clean socks in (tap) water for a day and then drying them before use. We'll see how that goes.
So overall, my socks were definatley adding something to the water but the principal problem with the skimmer was the clogged sponges.
2 more lessons learned.
