    Thanks for the post Kwhite. I just bought some and haven't tried it yet. I was going to use a basin to soak it in but will try the washer. Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I hear great things abour retayne.

    Yeah I had heard great things too so I decided to try it. I will try one more time with this fabric and see if I get any diffrent results. I will let you know.

    I've used it before and never had a problem - I would never think of soap scum. I would try it again and if it happens again try calling the company - heard that they have good customer support.

    I'm glad it worked out for you this time. Hopefully you won't have any more problems with it.

    Look inside the agitator area. It could be you have a build up of soap/fabric softeners/hard water deposits etc. that started coming loose with the Retayne. It is amazing what will gunk up inside the agitator area. I pulled mine apart and spent a complete day cleaning the goo out with hot water. My washing machine works much better these days and I am using a little less detergent and softeners too.
