A common cause is that conditioner – in particular the type in con-
centrated form - has come in contact with the washing. Wash out
such marks as soon as possible and exercise care when using the said
conditioner.
Foam can still be seen following the final rinse

Modern detergents can cause foam to be created even during the fi-
nal rinse. In spite of this, the washing has been sufficiently rinsed.
