Washing laundry in Japan – impossible to get white clothes back to white

Hi all,

I am really struggling with getting my white clothes clean. In Europe I had a front loader and all my white was (even when they had some outside dirt on it) would get cleaned.

Setup:

– Yamazen 8kg top loader washing machine
– Its hooked up to warm water so I can control the temperature
– I use the Attack washing liquid and even add some Oxi wash to make my white clothes whiter.

No luck.. mild dirt spots & food stains remain visible, which in Europe I would have no problem with cleaning.

How do people do their laundry here? I dont want to keep buying new white t-shirts / clothes just because my washing machine can't clean them.

Thanks!
