Affresh Washing Machine Cleaner, Cleans Front Load and Top Load Washers, Including HE, 6 Tablets

I hate to admit it, but it has been at least 3 years since we purchased our washer, and we just got around to using this product in it. With that said, we used this in our top loading machine recently. The product performed very well. The product removed the sour smell from the machine which came from the work clothing we used as we built our house and performed yard maintenance. I also had some pretty smelly shirts from working on the tractor and other machinery that contributed to the condition of the washer. This product cleaned the tub and water pump with ease. As I said before, the machine had a foul odor before dropping this into the EMPTY machine and using the CLEAN MACHINE setting. When the cycle was done, the odor was gone. We will be using this from now on. I recommend this for any machine that seems to frequently have an odor problem.

Works Great – Fresh and Clean Washer!These Affresh tablets are a game changer! They’re super easy to use—just pop one in and run a cycle. My washing machine smells so much fresher and cleaner after using them. It really helps remove buildup and odor, especially in a front-load washer. I use one a month and it keeps everything in great shape. Highly

I read all of the reviews and watched a few videos regarding this product. My main take aways were that this product got rid of the pungent odors and drum residue (which people cant see) in regards to the positives. The negative reviews stated a strong scent, residue in the drum, and didn't work at all.I have a Frigidaire Affinity HE Front Load Washer purchased in 2009, used liquid detergent for first 3 years then Tide pods for the the past 7+.My washer did NOT exhibit any of the really bad odors people have reported about their own. I don't use my washer every day, maybe 5 times a week at most. Three being a load of clothing and two being hot washes with towels. Usual routine is one of each per day with a clothing wash on the side. I leave my door open when not in use and try transfer the wash ASAP after the cycle ends. I just wanted to try this since I use the Tide Front Washer packets prior with no issues with residue or irritation. Mainly bought this due to the removing scum and residue from the drum that we can't see. I like finding and trying different alternatives.I opened the single usage tablet and placed it into the drum as directed. Be careful to open the individual package slowly as the loose powder will go airborne if opened quickly. I'd recommend using a scissor to cut open the packet INSIDE of the drum to prevent the loose particles from falling onto the floor or inhaled. I do not have a "clean cycle" on my washer so I just ran a full hot load wash. After it finished, i looked in the drum and saw a slight film of residue on the gasket and all over the drum. It was easily wiped off with a few paper towels. There was still a little residue left so I took 2 large bath towels and ran a hot wash again, using the towels to try and get rid of the remaining residue. After that was completed, I looked inside again and saw almost no residue, just a slight bit on the back end of the drum (which faces you). I'm a paranoid individual when it comes to my family's health so when I do see them, I'd hate for them to experience any of the rash or irritation that was reported in other reviews. I decided to run a casual cold wash to just put water in the drum and get rid of the remaining (if any) residue. I just washed an old shirt on warm water with 2 dish towels that I just used to dry my hands for the past 2 days, no dishes or food contact. I'll wear the shirt and see if any irritation arises. IF IT DOES, I'll update and state what happened. If not, then its good! Prior to running each cycle after the first, I literally stuck my head into the washer and tried to smell any scent or odors. I did not smell anything, I asked my child who I think has a pretty good nose, and said there was no smell or scent. Maybe it has to do with water quality, the amount of washes after initial tablet use, or wash cycle time. I personally did not remove my drum or washer housing to inspect it, so I can not comment on how clean or the amount of drum residue was removed.Works as describes, even though my washer did not have a bad odor and I physically can't see the underside of my washer drum. Will continue to use the rest of the package (6 total tablets) and reduce the number or cycles after initial run until I get to just the initial wash in hopes of no rash or skin irritation.Another key bit of info regarding the mold in the rubber gasket. I read a few articles stating that it removed or helped with mold issues. As far as I can tell it DOES NOT and no where do they state on their product information that it does anything with mold. This would be another product or project to combat and prevent mold from building up.

I've used this washing Machine Cleaner a few times over the past month, and so far, it’s been working really well. The tablets are super easy to use — just drop one into the empty drum and run a normal hot cycle. After each use, my washer smells noticeably fresher and looks cleaner inside. I also like that the tablets dissolve gradually during the cycle, so you get a more thorough clean over time.While it’s great for regular maintenance, it’s important to note that this isn’t a disinfectant — it doesn’t kill bacteria. So if you're looking for deep sanitization, you might need to use something else in addition. Also, if your machine has a lot of built-up grime or residue, you may need to repeat the cleaning a couple of times or do a bit of manual scrubbing, especially around the seals and detergent trays. That said, for ongoing upkeep, it’s a simple and effective way to keep your washer in good shape. At least for my machine, it’s helped maintain a clean and odor-free interior between loads.

I used these Affresh tabs a couple of years ago in a normal top loader washer a few years back when we were renting. It was the washer that came with the house. They did a really good job of cleaning the washer and making it smell fresh.We now have an LG HE front loading washer and we keep the door open on the washer to keep the inside of the washer dry and so it doesn’t build up mold around the seal. We’ve owned it for about 2 years. I decided to buy some of the Active cleaning tablets since they were a little cheaper. The tablets were about a third of the size. I ran the cleaning cycle two separate times the inside of my washer smelled.I bought the Affresh tablets and ran the cycle once and it smelled clean and did a good job of cleaning the inside of my washer. Would highly recommend.
