What if Sensitive Laundry Sheets doesn’t dissolve or leaves residue?Updated 11 hours ago

TL;DR: If Sensitive Laundry Sheets don't fully dissolve or you see residue, it’s most often due to low water, an overloaded drum, or the sheet being placed in the dispenser instead of the drum.
Fix it by running a longer cycle, doing an extra rinse, or rewashing the load on warm.


Common causes

  • Sensitive Laundry Sheets placed in the detergent drawer rather than the drum so it never gets proper circulation.
  • Overloaded drum that prevents Sensitive Laundry Sheets from tumbling and dissolving evenly.
  • Very low-water or ultra-short HE cycles with minimal agitation.
  • Extremely cold or very short cycles that slow dissolution.
  • Sheets stored damp or damaged which can affect performance.

Quick fixes to try right now

  • Run an extra rinse: Start an extra rinse or short wash to clear any residue.
  • Rewash the load: Use a normal cycle on warm and leave space in the drum so the sheet can circulate. Add a second sheet for large, heavy or very dirty loads.
  • Check the drum: Stop the cycle and confirm Sensitive Laundry Sheets was placed in the drum, not the drawer. Remove any obvious fragments before restarting.
  • Empty machine rinse: If residue is in the drum, run an empty hot rinse cycle to clear leftover bits.

How to remove residue from clothes

  • Shake garments to remove loose fragments.
  • Rewash items on a warm cycle with an extra rinse.
  • For greasy residue, pre-rinse with warm water and pre-treat with Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner before washing.

Prevention tips

  • Always place Sensitive Laundry Sheets in the drum before adding clothes.
  • Do not overload the machine; leave room for tumbling.
  • Choose a standard or longer cycle for very cold or low-water washes.
  • Store Sensitive Laundry Sheets in a cool, dry place and keep the pack sealed to avoid moisture damage.
