How affresh® Washer Cleaner Gets Rid of Odor-Causing Residue

Oxygenated cleaning action lifts away odor & residue

Only affresh® washer cleaner is proven to penetrate, dissolve, remove or reduce odor-causing residue from your washer. Compatible with all models of washers, the affresh® system was specially formulated to address the odor-causing residue that is a natural consequence of the water savings in all front-load or top-load HE washers. However, using the affresh® washer cleaner kit is a fast and simple way to keep the inside of all washers clean and fresh smelling.

	affresh® Power Puck™ Tablets Activated by water in the washer tub, Power Puck™ tablets produce oxygenated cleaning action. The wash cycle circulates the bubbles through areas you can't reach like the tub, hoses and pumps The oxygenated bubbles penetrate, dissolve, remove or reduce the residue and send it flowing down the drain

	affresh® Grit Grabber™ Cloths Specially textured cloth material grab built-up residue from washer surfaces within your reach The sturdy design withstands the rigors of removing odor-causing mold and grime from the rubber door seal on front-load washers.

affresh® Washer Cleaner vs. Other Methods

Until affresh® washer cleaner, there hasn't been a way to effectively remove and prevent odor-causing residue. While liquid chlorine bleach and other household cleaners can kill the bacteria that cause the residue to smell, they don't penetrate and remove the residue itself. The residue will continue to build up in the drum, washer hoses, and door seal, causing the bacteria and odor to return after just two weeks. Bleach and other cleaners are a temporary fix, but never actually reach the root of the problem.

Running an empty cycle or the "clean" cycle on your washer can kill bacteria and rinse excess detergent from the drum and hoses, but does not have the power to bubble away built-up residue. affresh® washer cleaner works in the "clean" cycle to break up and dissolve accumulated residue.

Also, wiping out your washer or leaving the door open between loads alone will not prevent your washer from developing an odor. They both decrease the amount of moisture in the washer, reducing the smell, but don't remove the residue that causes it unless used with the affresh® washer tablet.

All HE washers require special care

The features that make HE washers more efficient also make them more vulnerable to odor-causing residue.

Each wash cycle requires less water, so more dirt and detergent may be left behind.
HE washers deliver outstanding cleaning in cold water, but dirt and grease are not fully dissolved and are more likely to leave a residue on the interior of the washer. It is important to use hot water cycles with appropriate loads of laundry to better dissolve soils and grease and to help combat odor-causing residue.
If the washer door is left closed when not in use, the washer remains sealed, preventing the machine from fully drying out between cycles and increasing the potential for the development of odor-causing bacteria and mold.

How to Use the affresh® Cleaning System

Use the Power Puck™ tablets to clean what you can't reach:

1. Remove clothing from the washer tub.

2. Add 1 Power Puck™ tablet to the washer tub and run the washer on the "Normal" cycle or "Clean Wash" cycle, selecting the hot water option.

Use the Grit Grabber™ cloth to clean what you can reach:

3. When the cycle is complete, gently pull back the rubber door seal and clean the entire surface with the rough side of the Grit Grabber™ cloth.
