Hi Greg - Maybe the different laundry detergent just wasn't getting the clothes as clean. Due to chemical sensitivities that I developed a few years ago, (chlorine being a major one), we had a chlorine filter installed right where the water pipes come into the house. The chlorine fumes were bothering me even when I brushed my teeth or washed the dishes. Since that time, I notice that bath towels have to be changed more frequently. They get "smelly" ! I came to the conclusion that the chlorine in the wash water had been doing something to prevent that from happening. Just a thought.
