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 an LG that is about 9 years old (amazingly) Look at the bottom left side of the unit. There is a small panel you can pop open. Inside is a filter that needs to be cleaned. I never knew about this and when I cleaned it out it was pretty gross. Even found a golf tee in there.
After that there is a product you can put in your washer and run a cycle to clean it.
