Pods... Ohh I don't like them.....
First and foremost if you pack washer tightly at start, then they won't dissolve well before everything settles down. This can lead to that plastic coating not fully dissolving (if ever) leaving bits of that substance and or even product clinging to wash. If one does not notice this before bunging whatever item is "stained" into dryer that plastic will be baked on.
Yes, pods along with tablets do have the unfortunate tendency to get trapped in boot. Sometimes subsequent tumbling and water will flush things into tub, others not. Part of problem IMHO is that washers use so little water nowadays that there just isn't that bit of extra that comes up the door during wash as of old. By time that happens machine is onto rinse cycles....
Have noticed P&G on both sides of pond now suggests in directions to place pod at bottom of tub before adding wash, this rather than as most do bung the thing in last on top before closing door.
