Affresh Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets, 12 Count, Time-Release Monthly Washer Care

Affresh Washing Machine Cleaner is a 12-count pack of time-release tablets designed to clean washer components and help remove odor-causing residue, grime and soap scum.

• 12 tablets, with one tablet used once a month — a simple routine for washer maintenance.
• Time-release cleaning action — works through the wash cycle inside washer components.

Residue and odor can build up inside a washing machine, including in areas that a regular laundry load may not clean. Affresh tablets are made for routine appliance cleaning to help remove that buildup, including residues linked to pet odors, sweat and mildew that can transfer onto clothes and sheets.

What parts of the washing machine does Affresh clean?

Affresh time-release tablets clean inside washer components, including the pump, tub or basket, agitator, filter, drum, hoses and valve. The tablet is scientifically formulated to deliver extended cleaning action during the wash cycle, helping power away soap scum, grime and odor-causing residue from these areas. This cleaning action also helps address bacteria and residue that may be present inside the machine.

• Reaches internal washer parts, including the pump, filter and hoses.
• Helps remove residues associated with pet odors, sweat and mildew.
• Designed to help keep the washer clean and support optimal performance.

How often should I use an Affresh washing machine cleaner tablet?

Use one Affresh tablet once a month. Drop the tablet into the washing machine and let its time-release formula work through the wash cycle; the product is designed to clean without a separate manual cleaning step. The monthly routine means fewer cleaning cycles than the twice-monthly schedules used by other appliance cleaners, cutting machine-cleaning maintenance time in half compared with those schedules.

• One tablet per monthly cleaning routine.
• Time-release action extends cleaning throughout the wash cycle.
• The pack contains 12 tablets for 12 monthly uses.
