We have a strict no hair in the hot tub rule! If you wanna swim get in the pool lol.
Teen girl product filled hair does it to me every time! Also, lotions/potions
on the skin or suits that have detergent/fabric softener in them.
The answer to all is more chlorine and filter, filter, filter. And of course eliminating the source.
Many people use way too much detergent and could probably wash their clothes 4 more times without any.
We don’t but I always expect this to happen with guests.
We use appropriate amount of detergent and then always xtra rinse - no fab softener for suits (or much of anything at our house really)
For reference 1 pod is enough to do a full load of moderately dirty clothes no matter what the package says.
So is line 1 on the detergent cup.
Unless you have really greasy/dirty clothes then double that.
Our clothes get pretty nasty (I’m talking black w/ oil, grease, carbon) and I have never needed more than 2 pods or equivalent in liquid/powder.
If i need to use additives like krud kutter, pinesol, or degreaser I wash again with nothing but a little vinegar in the fabric softener cup. Generally I don’t put suits in those loads anyway but just an idea of how much detergent is actually needed.
