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.

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 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!

Affresh washing machine cleaner is super easy to use and really effective. I run a tablet through my washer once a month, and it helps remove residue, odors, and buildup that can make clothes smell less fresh. Since using it, my washing machine smells cleaner and my laundry feels fresher. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to keep their washer in top shape without any hassle! Pros: Easy to use—just drop in and run a cycle Effectively removes odor-causing residue Safe for both HE and standard machines Helps maintain washer performance over time Cons: Takes a full cleaning cycle (time-consuming if you’re in a rush) Heavily soiled machines may need a few treatments

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!

My bad. That ONE AND ONLY TIME I perused the manual for my top-loading washing machine — 16 years ago, on the day of installation — I might have overlooked the part recommending periodic, internal cleaning. Probably the reason I find myself typing a review for machine cleaners today. (The OUTSIDE is extremely clean and in pristine condition…so please, no judgement.) I’d always attributed the SCRUD deposits left on clothes (in warm and hot washes) to the shoddy plumbing work that was done on our home, built two years prior to the machine’s installation. [Nothing ever drained well, there were weird odors, and a test cap was left on one of the roof vents which went undiscovered for 14 years!]. I would just shake the slimy, brown flecks/chunks off onto the floor, shove clothes into the dryer, clean up the mess and move on. However, last week’s hot, bleachy load of my favorite, fluffiest towels simply sent me over the edge. My freshly-laundered, snowy-white and fairly expensive “after-bath HUGS” were generously sprinkled with the slimy, dark-brown flecks of crud! So very gross!! After shaking every item and cleaning up, yet again, I’d had ENOUGH and decided to learn how to fix this dilemma. With know-it-all Google being one of the best inventions of the 21st Century, I started there... OMG! First of all, SCRUD (soap crud, I imagine) is so aptly-named. Thankfully, I’m not the only person on the planet this is happening to (relief) and there ARE solutions to my suffering (more relief). Said ‘solutions’ are time-consuming and can get pricey but, at some point, desperate for a fix, ya just gotta bite the bullet and hope for the best. One remedy I discovered was these Affresh cakes. Hmmm…let’s start HERE, it seems easy enough. Plop one in, run the hottest, fullest cycle, wipe out the loosened SCRUD, repeat twice more and go on with your life. Even I can handle that — no appliances to move… no screws, panels or drums to REmove, no repair person to call (yet)…sign me up! I immediately placed my Amazon order for a 6-pack. But, just in case these won’t work, let’s keep searching… Further down the rabbit hole that is Google, I hopped over to the YouTube abyss and found two wonderful videos addressing my exact issue. [Handz for Hire and Ben’s Appliances and Junk]. Handz introduced me to the word SCRUD and, clearly, was experiencing the same thing with his own, but newer, machine. He used vinegar and baking soda, disassembled his machine to remove the wash drum AND manually scrubbed it with a Lysol cleaner. Although he did a wonderful job, this seemed like a LOT more than I could handle or even access myself, so I kept searching. Ben showed a half-assembled washer (for instructional purposes) and recommended using Citric Acid powder and OxiClean to take care of a gunked-up machine. Duly noted, Ben. Thank you, both! Back down the rabbit hole I descended, now in search of information on Citric Acid. Lo-and-behold, this stuff claims to clean practically EVERYTHING I’d ever need to clean: Keurig machine, water kettle, toilet tank and bowl ring, washing machine, shower grime, windows, and more. WOW! I immediately ordered a 2-lb bag of THAT too. Orders arrived, as promised…thank you, Amazon. Since I didn’t have the FIVE HOURS my machine would require to run 3 empty wash loads with Affresh cakes and the follow-up rinse cycle, I began using the Citric Acid powder on other things that needed to be cleaned instead. I started with that stubborn, limescale toilet ring. I dumped 3 Tbsp. of powder into the bowl, dissolved it using the toilet brush, and waited 30 minutes. Well, as water in toilets finds its own level (due to gravity, traps, vents, etc.), the cleaning solution remained just UNDER the ring I was intending to remove. How is that going to work if the liquid is not even soaking the area I’m trying to clean? I added more water to the bowl until the level was back above the ring and the water line self-leveled again — to below the targeted area. I placed a bottle of water in the bowl, hoping the displacement would raise the cleaning solution enough — for long enough — to penetrate the stubborn ring and loosen the scale. Yet again, the water leveled-out to just under the ring. I give up! [Not knocking the Citric Acid at all…I’m sure it would do a fantastic job on bowl or tank stains that are UNDER the water line.] Frustrated, I dove back into the hole and began searching for toilet pumice scrubbers — which a relative swears by. Hundreds more reviews later, I abandoned the search deciding that the risk of clogging my trap with a broken pumice chunk or permanently scratching my porcelain bowl — and causing MORE problems — overshadowed the faint limescale demarcation that only I seem to notice or care about. 🫤 Moving on…electric water kettle. As I only use fresh, filtered, dispensed refrigerator water in my kettle, I have never cleaned it. Whatever germs are in there are getting boiled and it’s left open to dry thoroughly after use. Plus, due to its electrical contacts, it cannot be submerged in water. Over many years of using it, a white, dotted limescale film has coated the bottom and pour spout. Not a big deal for me but it looks unsightly. I used 1 Tbsp. powder and 4 1/2 C of water in kettle, stirred to dissolve, let it come to a boil and then sit for 30 minutes. The limescale dots were softened and easily wiped off with a bottle brush. Rinsed out the kettle and it looks new inside! Ok…impressed. Shower head and faucet aerators? Descaled all in one bowl and they came out working like new…good flow/pressure. Same recipe as kettle (1 Tbsp acid and 4.5 C of boiling water). Suggested time was 15 minutes. Mine had to go a full 30 and some light scrubbing was necessary . Totally worth the effort, though. UPDATE: [If you’re intrigued…] More about the Milliard citric acid powder (Amazon B00EYFKM32) in my review there 7/21/24. Back to laundry: Finally completed the three Affresh cake cycles and ensuing rinse load. After each Affresh cleaning cycle, the only thing I noticed — as far as SCRUD droppings in the bottom of the washer — was one tiny speck. What?! $7 of cleaning cakes, lots of hot water and wasted electricity for only THREE slimy, gross specks? I find more in the drum washing towels with bleach! Hopefully, all of the dissolution and disposal of the gunk happened behind the scenes and simply made it out to the sewer on its own. 🤞🏻 A bonus: although our washer never had any kind of funky odor, it’s GOT to be cleaner than before and the Affresh made the laundry room smell really nice. I gave the machine a day off to rest. I’m now running a test load of white towels and rags that were already clean (hottest temperature, highest water level, bleach, detergent and fabric softener). Making sure that whatever SCRUD flakes might be lurking around, waiting to pounce on something, land on the rags and not the stuff we care about (see paragraph 3). Ok, alarm sounded — that’s done. Let’s take a look… So far, nothing dark and slimy is visible. Taking the first towel out for inspection… No spots on it. Giving it a good shake, just in case. (Floor still clean.) Next one out is a hand towel… Looks good; passed the shake test. The rest… Same results. The bottom of the drum… Nothing. NOT A SPECK OF SCRUD TO BE SEEN AND THE FLOOR IS CLEAN! Going forward, with monthly Affresh cleanings, maybe we’ll get another 16 years out of this washer. Hope this helps at least SOMEone.
