Promising reviews: “I love this product because it is so easy to pop it in the wash and run a cycle. It helps to clean out my washer, which I have a hard time with because of the hard water In our area. This product not only helps clean my washer but it has also helped to break down some of the mineral build up in the washer.” —Lex
“I live in an apartment with truly terrible maintenance. My washer/dryer unit had to be replaced when the dryer started leaving rust streaks on my clothes, and first they brought me a replacement that didn’t work at all. Then they brought me a working but DISGUSTING one that was full of somebody else’s dirt, lint, and caked-on blue detergent. The washer had been left closed for an extended period of time, and even though it’s not a front loader, it smelled utterly vile. The liquid detergent had both molded and then dried out to form a crust. Ewwwwww!!! I debated whether it was worth the effort of fighting with management further and decided I’d deal with it myself. (Yes, I know I should move rather than put up with this nonsense. It’s just an awful lot of trouble.) I tried running a hot water wash, which helped a little. Bleach was some help too. Vinegar didn’t seem to do much. After my home remedy tricks, it was better, but still not usable. Finally, Affresh fixed the mess. I got the tablets and the wipes and between the two, succeeded in getting rid of the grossness. So if you’ve got a college boy-level of disgusting going on in your washer, this will do the trick.” —M
