Just my few pence worth...
I'm not saying this is right as it could well be wrong, but when I buy laundry liquid (some brands I like have a very limited format range) I always add in a scoop of Astonish or Ecover or Bio-D laundry bleach/Oxy plus when washing bedding, whites and towels at high temperatures (with at least one or maybe two of my washes depending on weather I have cleaning clothes or kitchen linen to wash, being at 90 or 95 degrees c) and I have never had a problem with build up in my machine or any odours or laundry not being fresh or properly washed once the cycle has ended, certain things I will wash at the trending 30 degrees but usually my loads all go in on a 40 degree wash minimum. The reason I know I haven't had any build up issues is that periodically I like to run my machine through an empty hot wash to flush it through if I have washed anything that is particularly dirty or had any kind of debris on it (I know that really i shouldnt need to do this as I wash on high temperatures, but I just feel a bit better if I do) and when my machine(s) are at the required temperature, there is not surfactant residue and usually the water is pretty clear. I do bounce between powder and liquid though, so that may be the reason as to why I haven't really had an issue, but I just wanted to put in my experiences with liquids, I'm not having a poke or anything
