Which magazine gives Samsung washing machines their top slots according to another thread.

@Myusernam bobbling is only caused by one thing, friction (either by washing or wearing) which damages the fibres

As this is in washing, is it possible you are overloading the machine, so clothes are rubbing against each other? New machines use so much less water than older ones so they can get every higher “efficiency” ratings and thus will be really unforgiving of a lot of clothes in drum (even these ones they tout as 8/9/12kg and so on, as again this is a con to get you to buy).

Using fabric softener can also help as it lubricates the fibres so the fabric is subjected to less friction in wearing and the next wash.

Also some detergents seem to perform better than others, this will be trial and error. I promise I’m not touting the brand in the below vid, but t if you watch this 3min clip on the bit where it shows the fabric magnified you can see the massive difference in fibre damage between the store brand and the brand they’re naming.
