Affresh Washer Cleaner Final Thoughts

Awhile, ago I mentioned that I was part of an ambassador program to try a new product called Affresh designed to prevent and eliminate odor causing residue from your washing machine.  I was sent a package which contained three tablets which I was to use over the course of several weeks.

Affresh washer cleaner is designed to be used on a once a month basis to keep those musty odors at bay.  Basically you just toss a tablet in, and run your washer on a regular hot water cycle and let the tablet go to work.  I have a front loading machine and almost always have a problem with that musty smell because for some reason moisture seems to linger in my machine, especially if I don’t leave the door open after use.

The smell from the package was amazing so I was very excited to give it a try. After using the first tablet, I did notice a fresher smell from my machine, but I could still smell that same musty odor and the residue that forms on the rubber seal was still there after the first run.  I decided to run three consecutive cycles using one tablet for each to see if that made a difference.  After I used the tablets, I did notice that the inside of the drum was much shinier, and I could tell that there was a much better smell.  The musty odor still wasn’t completely eliminated but it could be that I have never really used anything in the washer in the whole 8/9 years that I have owned it.

My final thought is that I really like the Affresh washer cleaner for its ease of use and it smells great.  I think that with normal usage once a month it can keep odors in check and keep your clothes smelling nice and fresh.  Overall, I think a few more treatments would have made a difference in my current machine and at a $6.99 price point for three tablets, it is well worth it for the ounce of prevention it offers each month.  Now that I know a product exists to keep my washer clean, I plan on using it each month.
