This is detective work...
Determine the proper amount of detergent you really need--too much or
too little isn't good. Add just enough detergent to make the water
slippery--no more. Don't overload your washer and use different-sized
articles in a single wash. Add vinegar to the rinse water. It's
possible your washer isn't working properly. Dissolve powder
detergent to water rather than directly on dry clothes. Other things
to consider are water hardness, detergent brand/type, fabric
softeners/sheets, etc. I am sure there are many other ideas.
