About a month ago I heard a loud bang and the drum started scraping the sides. I called the repairman and he said he thought the repair would run about $400. That was too much so I gave the machine to a guy and he took it apart and found the spider-arm (holds the drum) had shattered. That's what the repairman thought it was. The drum and spider-arm were completely covered with a mass of soap scum buildup. So I would say Vinegar does not help AT-ALL. I bought a Maytag top loader without an agitator. It has a cycle called "clean washer with Affresh" which I will use every month. It sounds like cheap insurance on future damage. **Q: Is this a cruelty-free product?** A: The box does not say if any ingredients were tested on animals. The ingredients are: Sodium percarbonate, Sodium carbonate, Glucono-delta-lactone, Polyethylene glycol, Sodium acetate, and Fragrance. Affresh products are made by Whirlpool so I checked their safety data sheet (www.affresh.com/sds). The fragrance was tested using IFRA standards. The IFRA website (https://ifrafragrance.org/search?indexCatalogue=general-search&searchQuery=Animal) says they are incorporating non-animal testing, but it appears they are just now in transition. It is a “Safer Choice” product, meaning it doesn’t contain ingredients known to be harmful to the environment. Hope this helps! **Q: Can it be used in a samsung he front loader (about 6 years old) with no auto clean button safely?** A: Yes our washer is a frontload whirlpool 2003. You just lay the tablet inside washer and run on regular cycle. Use once a month to keep washer from any mildew odors great. Highly recommend. **Q: How do I use it with top load machine that doesn’t have cleaning program?** A: A HE ("High Efficiency") washer without a "clean" cycle is a problem for me, as my washer (Frigidaire model FFLE4033QT0) does not have a "clean" cycle and also does not allow me to select water level, which I would like to set to High, but I can't. So the empty washer tub with Affresh tablet fills with only 2 inches of water, because the "High Efficiency" washer senses a very small load of laundry, because the drum is empty. This means I can't clean my washer machine. I also tried manually filling the washer with hot water using a soup pot, and the machine drained all the hot water when I pushed the start button. Wonderful. The geniuses who design these machines... I think a hack would be to fill the machine with old wet towels, so the sensor feels a heavy load and fills the tub with water, and run Affresh with the old towels. I don't think there is another way. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Eliminates odors and deep cleans your washer like nothing else — essential! *by on Reviewed in the United States April 20, 2026* Affresh Washing Machine Cleaner is one of those products that you do not realize you need until you actually use it — and then you wonder how you ever went without it. I have been using it regularly for several months now and the difference it has made in our washing machine is genuinely impressive.Before using Affresh, I started noticing a musty, unpleasant odor coming from our front-load washer, which is a very common issue with high-efficiency machines that tend to trap moisture and residue over time. After just the first cleaning cycle with Affresh, the smell was completely gone. The drum smelled fresh and clean, and that freshness has carried over to our laundry as well.The tablets are incredibly easy to use. You simply drop one tablet into the drum (not the detergent dispenser), run a hot water cleaning cycle, and let it do all the work. No scrubbing, no mess, no complicated steps. It took less than five minutes of actual effort on my part and the machine did the rest.What I appreciate most about Affresh is that it is specifically formulated to penetrate and dissolve the residue, grime, and odor-causing bacteria that builds up inside the drum, door seal, and hoses over time — areas that you simply cannot reach with regular cleaning. It is recommended by major appliance brands, which speaks volumes about its effectiveness and safety for your machine.I now run a cleaning cycle with Affresh once a month as part of my regular home maintenance routine and the washer has stayed consistently clean and odor-free ever since. The pack of tablets is great value and lasts several months depending on how often you run a cleaning cycle.If you have a front-load or top-load HE washer and you have never cleaned it with a dedicated cleaner, do yourself a favor and get this. Your machine, your clothes, and your nose will thank you. Highly recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Ongoing Maintenance—Helps Prevent Musty Smells and Buildup *by on Reviewed in the United States May 26, 2026* I originally purchased these because I have a septic system at my cottage and had just bought a new washing machine. With our well water, I started noticing some yellowing in the trays, likely from iron, and this seemed like a good preventative step. It’s also recommended by manufacturers, so it felt like a smart and low-risk thing to try.These are very easy to use—just drop one in and run a cycle. Since using them, I haven’t seen any new yellowing developing, which is a good sign. It didn’t remove the existing staining, but I’m hoping it helps prevent things from getting worse or possibly lightens it over time.Because I liked the idea of maintaining the machine, I also started using them at home. While the difference is subtle at first, I’ve noticed that neither of my machines has developed that musty smell since I started using these regularly.I don’t use them perfectly on a strict schedule, but probably every month or two. For me, this feels like one of those simple maintenance habits that helps prevent a bigger problem later. It’s much easier than dealing with buildup, odor, or needing to run stronger cleaning methods after things get bad.I also picked up the same brand’s dishwasher cleaner tabs, and those seem to be helping as well.What I like:Very easy to useHelps prevent musty smellsSeems to reduce or prevent new buildupGood for ongoing maintenanceSeptic-friendly and manufacturer-recommendedThings to be aware of:Results are subtle at firstNot a quick fix for existing stains or heavy buildupWorks best when used consistently over timeOverall:A simple and effective way to maintain your washing machine and help prevent larger issues down the road. It’s not an instant dramatic change, but it feels like a smart and worthwhile habit to keep. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use and helps keep the washer fresh *by on Reviewed in the United States April 29, 2026* I started using these Affresh washing machine cleaner tablets as part of my regular cleaning routine, and they’re very easy to use.You just drop a tablet in and run a cycle, which makes it simple and convenient. After using it, the washer smells much fresher, and it feels cleaner overall, especially if you do a lot of laundry.I like that it’s low effort but still effective for maintaining the machine. It’s a good reminder that washers also need cleaning from time to time.The tablets dissolve well and don’t leave any residue behind. The value pack is also nice since it lasts for multiple uses.One thing to keep in mind is that for heavily built-up machines, you may need to use it more than once to really notice a difference.Overall, it’s a simple and reliable product for keeping your washing machine clean and fresh. ## Frequently Bought Together - Affresh Washing Machine Cleaner, Cleans Front Load and Top Load Washers, Including HE, 5 Tablets - Affresh W10549851 Dishwasher Cleaner 6 Tablets Formulated to Clean Inside All Machine Models, Count - Affresh Garbage Disposal Cleaner, Removes Odor-Causing Residues, 9 Tablets [3 Pack] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/1964689-affresh-washing-machine-cleaner-helps-power-away-odor-causing-bacteria](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/1964689-affresh-washing-machine-cleaner-helps-power-away-odor-causing-bacteria) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
