5+ star review from me. My washing machine had a moldy/mildew smell so strong that I could smell it upon entering my home, it was overwhelming. I googled why this was and it gave me info I never knew before which led me to looking for a washing machine cleaner. I read some reviews and thought I'd give it a shot and I am AMAZED at the results. I did one cycle and the smell is gone and also it washed out all this black, grimy residue. It worked so well I thought why not go for a second cycle immediately and again it is pulling out even more grimy stuff. I did have to wipe it out after the first cycle but not a big deal at all. I've included some photos which show the black yuck floating around. Affresh washing machine cleaner is an amazing product. I must also mention that my washer is only 4 years old and it contained this much grime, imagine a much older washer. Thank you. you have a new customer.

So our laundry room has been having this musty smell even though our washing machine is still new (1yr old). It smells to the point that I always have to keep the door closed and my guests would concern if we have any broken pipes there. I already cleaned out the tray under the machine (not sure what it's called, the little box when you have to pop it out and drain the water), but it didn't help. Then I thought it was the draining system which caused the smell but I haven't had time to call someone to take a look. Yeah then I bought this cleaning tablets thinking it would still clean the machine, guess what, the smell has gone since then. I can't believe I have been going through a lot of air freshener bottles to help with the smell yet I didn't think about this, luckily I haven't spent on plumbers yet. This is one of the best purchases I've ever made lol.

It does the job it supposed to do and I’m pleased. The problem is I have a washing machine with the Affresh function but the instructions are vague. What about all the other default settings on the machine? There’s a setting for temperature - no instruction from Affresh. There’s the setting for water level - no mention. There’s a setting for extra rinse - no advice. I only have this one question and nobody will answer it: does using the Affresh setting override all the other settings on your washing machine? all it would take is one sentence… A single sentence from the manufacturer. Why can’t they do that? it gets really tiresome having to scour the Internet for information about a product that I’ve purchased instead of getting it from the source.

I have been purchasing these from the day we got our washing machine about 7 years ago. I try to use one on the first of every month (sometimes I forget and might go 6 weeks between uses, but it’s mostly monthly). I have found that if I go longer than six weeks, certain polyester/spandex items will start to smell off when they are dry. They don’t smell at all when I use the tablets regularly. I don’t know what the tablets do or how they do it, but my experience has been that they work well.
