## Description

affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner deep cleans to help remove the odor-causing residues and grime that daily loads leave behind. The time-release tablets are EPA Safer Choice certified, septic-safe and designed to clean inside all machines, including HE (High Efficiency). Use monthly or every 30 cycles for a consistently clean machine.

Review: I'm on my sixth box of Affresh, which should tell you how well this works for me. I have a front-loading washer, and these tablets have completely eliminated the mildew smell that front-loaders are notorious for. Each box comes with 5 tablets, and I use one monthly as recommended (or every 30 cycles if you do laundry less frequently). It's such an easy thing to do for maintenance - just toss a tablet in an empty machine and run a cleaning cycle. The washer smells fresh and clean afterward, with no musty or mildew odors lingering. For context, I've been using this consistently for over a year now, and my washer still smells great. It's become part of my regular home maintenance routine, along with changing air filters and cleaning the dryer vent. One note for Hawaii residents: I had issues ordering this with Subscribe & Save (desertcart kept blocking shipment to Hawaii), but I was able to get it shipped by purchasing it as a one-time order instead. Worth the minor inconvenience. Highly recommend, especially if you have a front-loading washer. This is a simple solution that actually works.
Review: Very effective as saw lots of gunk floating in the machine. I only needed one tablet. Great knowing Affresh doesn't (hopefully) cause any damage over time. I didn't wish to use vinegar as I value my Maytag washing machine too much. Highly recommend to anyone still deciding.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it better than using bleach?**
A: I had a 9 year old Samsung front loader that I cleaned once a month with vinegar and baking soda using the sanitize cycle. About a month ago I heard a loud bang and the drum started scraping the sides.  I called the repairman and he said he thought the repair would run about $400.  That was too much so I gave the machine to a guy and he took it apart and found the spider-arm (holds the drum) had shattered.  That's what the repairman thought it was.  The drum and spider-arm were completely covered with a mass of soap scum buildup.  So I would say Vinegar does not help AT-ALL.  I bought a Maytag top loader without an agitator.  It has a cycle called "clean washer with Affresh" which I will use every month.  It sounds like cheap insurance on future damage.

**Q: Is this a cruelty-free product?**
A: The box does not say if any ingredients were tested on animals. The ingredients are: Sodium percarbonate, Sodium carbonate, Glucono-delta-lactone, Polyethylene glycol, Sodium acetate, and
Fragrance. Affresh products are made by Whirlpool so I checked their safety data sheet (www.affresh.com/sds). The fragrance was tested using IFRA standards. The IFRA website (https://ifrafragrance.org/search?indexCatalogue=general-search&searchQuery=Animal) says they are incorporating non-animal testing, but it appears they are just now in transition. It is a “Safer Choice” product, meaning it doesn’t contain ingredients known to be harmful to the environment. Hope this helps!

**Q: Can it be used in a samsung he front loader (about 6 years old) with no auto clean button safely?**
A: Yes our washer is a frontload whirlpool 2003. You just lay the tablet inside washer and run on regular cycle. Use once a month to keep washer from any mildew odors great. Highly recommend.

**Q: How do I use it with top load machine that doesn’t have cleaning program?**
A: A HE ("High Efficiency") washer without a "clean" cycle is a problem for me, as my washer (Frigidaire model FFLE4033QT0) does not have a "clean" cycle and also does not allow me to select water level, which I would like to set to High, but I can't.   So the empty washer tub with Affresh tablet fills with only 2 inches of water, because the "High Efficiency" washer senses a very small load of laundry, because the drum is empty.   This means I can't clean my washer machine.   I also tried manually filling the washer with hot water using a soup pot, and the machine drained all the hot water when I pushed the start button.   Wonderful.   The geniuses who design these machines...

I think a hack would be to fill the machine with old wet towels, so the sensor feels a heavy load and fills the tub with water, and run Affresh with the old towels.   I don't think there is another way.
