So the landlord kindly bought us a new washing machine - a cheap old one from curries a LOGIK L612WM16. Neat little machine, but since its first wash I've noticed that the softner when poured into the compartment instantly drains away even after washing it out - I mean it's a brand new machine...... See picture for draw style. And I swear that the old one did this sometimes too but the washine came out smelling like the softner and was soft, this time with the new one it niether smell nice or was soft. My partner also complains that the ''stain remover/whitner'' isn't doing the job either - he works in a factory and his vests come back with sweat and dirt patches. We use Vanish oxy action and they still come out with stains etc but not as heavily before (usually put in half a scoop of the stuff). I don't know if I'm doing this wrong, but this is the first time I've used a machine as this is the first time I've lived alone with my partner and he's making me do the washing now XD.
Any advice would be nice..
Cheers.
