Change soap, use Amway. I have used the powder and liquid with no white spots. Had the same issue you are having. Order soap online to avoid the dreaded salespeople! I tried oxyclean and it leaves spots but the amway booster doesn't leave anything.
Frustrating that the local store and Maytag know nothing about this problem and "you are the only one having it". Not a good way for a company to do business.
