AffreshWashing Machine Cleaner, Cleans Front Load and Top Load Washers, Including HE, 6 TabletsU.S. EPA Safer Choice

Cleans my front load washer really well when I use it once I month. I use a tablet on the clean cycle then run an additional clean cycle and everything smells fresh and clean afterwards! (I do always leave the door propped open so it never smells that bad in the first place). It does seem to keep the washer running in top shape and is super easy to use. The tablet is no larger than a laundry pod and you just toss it in. If the tablet has broken up, just dump the powder in the drum. Do not put the powder in the drawer where washing powder would go. Works really well every time!

I didn’t realize how much my washing machine needed this until I used it. I popped in one tablet, ran a clean cycle, and the difference was immediate, no more musty smell, and the drum looked noticeably fresher.It’s super easy to use, just toss it in, no scrubbing or wiping. I’ve used it on both a top-load and a front-load machine (both HE), and it worked equally well. The tablets dissolve fully, and there’s no strong chemical odor, just a light, clean scent afterward that doesn’t linger on clothes.I also noticed that the rubber seal and detergent drawer looked cleaner too. For something you don’t think about often, it makes a big difference in how your washer smells and performs.You get 3 tablets in the box, which makes it a great little value pack for occasional maintenance. I plan to keep this on rotation every month or so just to stay ahead of buildup.If your washer’s starting to smell off or you’ve never cleaned it (no shame), this is such an easy solution.

I have a set of Whirlpool Duet frontload washer/dryer that are 16 yrs old and going strong. Don't judge me, but for 15 years, I never washed it other than running the wash cycle maybe 3x and only once did I add the bleach (per manufacturer's instruction). The putrid, old, musty, gamey, mold smell only went away for a short time then would come back several weeks later. I thought the only recourse i had was to let the washer air dry with the door open and deal with it.I saw these washer tabs on Tik Tok and realized, hey man, these exist? Where have I been all this time?? Excited to try them on my funky smelling washer, I was now faced with the task of choosiing which brand to buy.I chose the Affresh because it seemed most economical but also highly rated. It arrived last night and I popped one in the washer and ran it on the wash cycle (per Affresh instructions). Note: I had a bit of anxiety doing this as it clearly states on the dial "Clean Cycle - Bleach ONLY." So I broke the Whirlpool rules and defied the instructions, but I guess I will ask for forgiveness later if necessary.The cycle finished and a few moments ago and in order to truly test the effectiveness of this product, I opened the door, stuck my head inside and took a HUGE WHIFF.People, my washer smells CLEAN. No, not pine smell clean. Not strong perfumey clean. Just FRESH & CLEAN! I describe the smell as that same smell of the suds when you go through a car wash (almost fruity?) How? What exactly did this do? Inside of the drum, I found there were 2 things left behind: a coffee bean and a small quarter-sized clump of hair. THAT'S ALL. I braced myself and looked inside the rubber door liner, thinking there will be a disgusting sludge of slime and gunk for me to wipe up. While there was some dirty spots as residual, it was almost nothing. I took a paper towel and ran it along the inside of the door seal and picked up just a small smearing of residual black stuff. Don't ask me where the rest of it went, but at this point, I don't care. I'm trusting the process because everything else smells and looks great!The inside of my washer is still wet, though, with droplets clinging to the drum. Since instructions say to remove any residual, I wiped it dry with a paper towel and leaving the door open to air dry whatever remains.Instructions say to repeat the process up to 3x if washer is still stinky, but I only used one tablet in one cycle and my machine smells awesome and looks sparkly! I have 5 more tabs left so I'm thrilled.I don't think there is a need for me to try or compare the Affresh brand to something else. I'm extremely satisfied with it and unless there's a reason for me to change, I will stick to Affresh from now on. Guys, please re-read my first sentences. After 16yrs and only washing my washer 3x, I achieved the impossible with one Affresh tab. If my washer can get clean smelling, so can yours!

Affresh washing machine cleaner is super easy to use and really effective.

I bought the Affresh Washing Machine Cleaner and it really works. Super easy to use—just drop a tablet in and run a clean cycle. It removed the musty smell from my washer and left it feeling fresher. After a few uses, my clothes also came out smelling cleaner. The 6-tablet pack is convenient, and using one every month keeps the machine in good shape. Definitely recommend!

Recommend by the service person years ago. I use it monthly and it has made a positive difference in the cleanliness and smell of the washer. The box does have a monthly calendar on it to make it easy keep track. Tablets come in individual packets and tend to break up a little more than I like so I typically cut the top open with scissors and dump into the drum. Rinses well, slight smell when done but eventually goes away with the door open. Does not influence the smell of subsequent loads. Note that this requires an empty, long hot water cycle. Worth the time, money, and effort.

With 2 boys and life on a farm, giving our front loader a monthly deep clean is a must—and Affresh does the job perfectly. It’s easy to use, leaves the washer smelling fresh, and gets rid of the grime and buildup that comes with heavy use. No more funky odors, just a clean machine ready for the next muddy load. Definitely a laundry essential in our house!

Works well in my washing machine. Have purchased multiple times. Will purchase again and recommend. It's easy-to-use and cleans the washer well.
