Where do you get your water? If it's municipal, they may have switched supplies on you. Are you seeing hard water deposits on your faucets, or in your bath/shower?
The harder your water, the more phosphorus you need in your detergent -- I'd be remiss if I didn't point out there's an argument to be made in favor of phosphorus free, though -- and every box of detergent lists the percentage of it on the label somewhere. Last time I checked, Electrasol was the highest, but it's these weird little bricks.
If it doesn't get better, you may have to think about getting a water softener.
