However, when I went online, it appeared that it was not a leaf but that it was something called scrud. According to the internet, scrud is a buildup that occurs when fabric softener mixes with laundry detergent. However, my wife doesn't use fabric softner.

Is anyone familiar with this and, if so, how to get rid of it?

And has anyone ever used a clean cycle on a washing machine? I have never heard of it until today. I don't think my parents had it on their machine and we never had it on the machine up north.

Thanks.
We have run a few clean cycles with a cleaning pod but only to avoid a problem and not to fix one.
