Washing Machine Cleaner, #1 Washing Machine Cleaner Tablet, 5 Count | Helps Power Away Odor Causing Bacteria & Grime Deep Inside Pump, Valve & Hoses, Use Once a Month, Safe for All Washers

Affresh Washing Machine Cleaner is a simple and effective way to remove odor-causing residue and grime that can build up deep inside the washer’s pump, valves, drum, and hoses. The time-release tablets are easy to use and dissolve throughout the cleaning cycle, reaching areas that are difficult to clean by hand. After using one, the washer smells noticeably fresher and the interior feels cleaner. The six-tablet package provides a convenient six-month supply when used monthly, making routine maintenance easy to remember. Overall, this is a dependable washing-machine cleaner that helps control odors and buildup and easily deserves five stars.

Affresh Washing Machine Cleaner is one of those products that you do not realize you need until you actually use it — and then you wonder how you ever went without it. I have been using it regularly for several months now and the difference it has made in our washing machine is genuinely impressive. Before using Affresh, I started noticing a musty, unpleasant odor coming from our front-load washer, which is a very common issue with high-efficiency machines that tend to trap moisture and residue over time. After just the first cleaning cycle with Affresh, the smell was completely gone. The drum smelled fresh and clean, and that freshness has carried over to our laundry as well. The tablets are incredibly easy to use. You simply drop one tablet into the drum (not the detergent dispenser), run a hot water cleaning cycle, and let it do all the work. No scrubbing, no mess, no complicated steps. It took less than five minutes of actual effort on my part and the machine did the rest. What I appreciate most about Affresh is that it is specifically formulated to penetrate and dissolve the residue, grime, and odor-causing bacteria that builds up inside the drum, door seal, and hoses over time — areas that you simply cannot reach with regular cleaning. It is recommended by major appliance brands, which speaks volumes about its effectiveness and safety for your machine. I now run a cleaning cycle with Affresh once a month as part of my regular home maintenance routine and the washer has stayed consistently clean and odor-free ever since. The pack of tablets is great value and lasts several months depending on how often you run a cleaning cycle. If you have a front-load or top-load HE washer and you have never cleaned it with a dedicated cleaner, do yourself a favor and get this. Your machine, your clothes, and your nose will thank you. Highly recommend.

I originally purchased these because I have a septic system at my cottage and had just bought a new washing machine. With our well water, I started noticing some yellowing in the trays, likely from iron, and this seemed like a good preventative step. It’s also recommended by manufacturers, so it felt like a smart and low-risk thing to try. These are very easy to use—just drop one in and run a cycle. Since using them, I haven’t seen any new yellowing developing, which is a good sign. It didn’t remove the existing staining, but I’m hoping it helps prevent things from getting worse or possibly lightens it over time. Because I liked the idea of maintaining the machine, I also started using them at home. While the difference is subtle at first, I’ve noticed that neither of my machines has developed that musty smell since I started using these regularly. I don’t use them perfectly on a strict schedule, but probably every month or two. For me, this feels like one of those simple maintenance habits that helps prevent a bigger problem later. It’s much easier than dealing with buildup, odor, or needing to run stronger cleaning methods after things get bad. I also picked up the same brand’s dishwasher cleaner tabs, and those seem to be helping as well. What I like: Very easy to use Helps prevent musty smells Seems to reduce or prevent new buildup Good for ongoing maintenance Septic-friendly and manufacturer-recommended Things to be aware of: Results are subtle at first Not a quick fix for existing stains or heavy buildup Works best when used consistently over time Overall: A simple and effective way to maintain your washing machine and help prevent larger issues down the road. It’s not an instant dramatic change, but it feels like a smart and worthwhile habit to keep.

I bought this cleaner expecting it to make a bigger difference than it did. Based on the reviews, I thought it would leave my washing machine looking almost brand new and completely eliminate every odor. While it definitely helped freshen things up and the washer smelled cleaner afterward, the results weren’t as dramatic as I had hoped. It was very easy to use, and I think it does a good job as a maintenance cleaner rather than a deep cleaner. If your washer just needs a routine refresh, it works well. If you’re expecting it to remove years of buildup or solve every issue in one cycle, you may be a little disappointed. Overall, it’s a decent product, but I think my expectations were a little too high.

I had a nasty smell coming from my washing machine that just would not go away. I tried natural fixes like lemon juice, vinegar, and baking soda, but none of those methods helped eliminate the odor. Throwing one of these tablets into the wash did the trick, and the bad smell was completely gone after just one cycle. It was a huge relief, and I highly recommend keeping these on hand for routine maintenance.

These tablets are wonderful for cleaning your washing machine after several cycles of washing, eliminating the smell of moisture and mold leaving a fresh and clean aroma, it is advisable to do it once a month or whenever you use your washing machine too much. I tried other brands and liked this one a lot.

Fabulous! This washing machine cleaner worked exactly as expected. It was easy to use, left my washing machine smelling fresh and clean, and helped remove built-up odors. I'll definitely be purchasing it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking to keep their washer clean and running its best.

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 !

Buen producto

Product works as described. Much better than supermarket cleaners.. Not cheap but avoids stained and smelly clothes....

Worked q well after one wash - will do this regularly once a month from now on. Sell dud return though

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.
