Hello there,
Do a couple of washes without clothes or in on very hot, should clear soap residue. Make sure your filter (if accessible is clean too)!
Are you using a powdered detergent? I had problems with that leaving soap marks on my clothing. I also was using too much.

I run a quart or two of white vinegar in my washer. The machine says to use their packet of (expensive) cleaner. Having researched it I found white vinegar does the trick and is very inexpensive.
I run a cup of white vinegar through the machine and that usually does the trick.
