Price: £8.25

Weight: 1.00

This is a product that we have been looking for now for some time. Affresh has been developed by microbiology scientists from Whirlpool to combat the build up of residues inside todays high efficiency front loading washing machines. However, unlike bleach based products which will typically mask the residue's effects, Affresh actually removes the residues using surfactant chemistry cutting down on bad smells or unpleasant odours from washing machines.

In short, it's a revelation and we had to get it from the USA but it is worth it as smelly washing machine are a real problem these days, you can read more on this on the main UK Whitegoods website IN THIS ARTICLE (link opens in new window or tab).

Affresh™ cleaner is a formulated, slow-dissolve, foaming tablet that gets under residue, breaks it up, and washes it away leaving the washer smelling fresh and clean.

To use simply place one tablet in the drum (without clothes) and run a Normal Cycle (hot option) or Clean Washer Cycle.

Affresh™ is environmentally friendly, safe on septic tanks, and safe for all washer components.

You can find out more about Affresh at the Affresh website from this link

Each pack contains three tablets which is a three month supply of normal use. However, if your machine is really bad it will need all three tablets in one first cycle to get the bacteria build up down and then one cleaning cycle per month after that.

More Information On Dirty Washing Machines

Constant low temperature washing, the increasing use of liquid detergents (which do not contain any bleach) and the increase of washing machines with plastic outer drums that have recesses in them where bacteria can take hold and grow have all contributed to the problem of mould build up and strong odours from washing machines. There are however several things that you can do to prevent this and there are links below to more in depth help and advice on keeping your washing machine smell free.

However there are some simple quick tips that we would strongly advise that you follow to take care of your washing machine or washer dryer.

- Always run a maintenance wash using bleach containing detergent (powder, preferably biological powder) or even better using Affresh once a month

- Leave the washing machine door slightly ajar when not is use to allow the washing machine door seal and drum to dry as much as possible

- Remove and clean the soap dispenser on the washing machine at least once a month and ensure that you also clean the soap box that the soap dispenser goes into.

- If your washing machine has a removable filter check it regularly for build ups of ooze, fluff and other things that shouldn't be there

Following these simple tips can save you so much hassle and they're totally free, all you have to do is remember them to keep your washing machine in tip top condition. While it might no stop other things going wrong, it they at least keep bad odours or smells at bay.
