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

Keeps My Washer Fresh and Odor-Free — Works Better Than Expected
I’ve used a few washing machine cleaners in the past, but Affresh Washing Machine Cleaner really stands out. Unlike generic cleaners that sometimes leave a residue or only mask odors, Affresh actually removes buildup and grime from hard-to-reach areas inside the drum and detergent drawer. After just one cycle, my machine smelled cleaner, looked brighter, and even seemed to run a bit more smoothly.What differentiates this review from the dozens of others on Amazon is that I’ve tested it across both a high-efficiency front-loader and a top-loader. In both cases, Affresh did an excellent job tackling odors and soap scum that other cleaners often miss. The tablets are easy to use, dissolve completely, and don’t require any complicated steps or extra scrubbing.If you want a washing machine cleaner that actually delivers noticeable results and keeps your appliance in top shape over time, this is the one to pick. It’s a simple, effective solution that goes beyond just masking odors. Your laundry and machine will thank you! The cleaner is a good size in a 6-pack so it’ll last a little while.

Keeps my washer running great
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!

This is not a gimmick. It WORKS!
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!

My dishwasher is sparkling cleaning after using these !
