Affresh Washer Cleaner Tablets, 3 Count

I have owned my front loading HE washing machine for 5 years now. I ALWAYS leave the door open as I heard horror stories of mold odors coming from the washer when you leave the door closed when not in use. I had a major change in my life and did not do laundry at my home for several weeks. During this time someone closed my washer door. When I opened it I could smell a slight mildew odor. I washed some towels and the whole load stunk! I used the affresh tablet once and the odor is completely gone! I like that it isnt perfumey. The tablets do have a scent but it is minimal and not overwhelming. I used as directed, plop the tablet in the washer and run thru a normal cycle with hot water. Good as new again and odor free! Yay!

I never knew that you were supposed to clean out your washing machine b/c of the odor and bacteria that builds up. I did notice that everytime I opened the door to the washer, there was always an odor but I thought that was normal. I've heard of home methods where you can pour bleach through a rinse cycle in hot water. But I never tried that b/c these washer tabs seem easier and fool proof. All you do is throw a tablet into the washer (same place you put your clothes) and turn it on the hot cycle. If you have existing odor in your washer, the packing recommends you do this for 3 cycles so you are using up an entire package the first time. But then you just have to remember to do it once a month after that to keep out the odors on your washer. After each cycle with the tablet, you will have a fresh scent but that only last temporarily. You won't have the fresh scent each time you open your washer but you also shouldn't have the strong odor either.
