How to Effectively Clean Your Washer with Affresh: A Step-by-Step Guide
Maintaining a clean washing machine is essential for keeping your clothes fresh and odor-free. One effective product designed specifically for this task is Affresh, which helps remove residue and buildup inside your washer. In this guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of cleaning your washer with Affresh to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
What is Affresh?
Affresh is a specially formulated cleaning tablet designed for use in both high-efficiency (HE) and traditional washers. It works by breaking down tough residues such as detergent buildup, fabric softener, and even mineral deposits from hard water. These residues can accumulate over time, leading to unpleasant odors and potentially affecting the cleanliness of your laundry.
When Should You Use Affresh?
It’s recommended to use Affresh once a month or whenever you notice any unusual smells coming from your washing machine. Additionally, if you frequently wash heavily soiled items or notice residue on clean clothes, it may be time to give your washer a thorough clean using Affresh.
Step 1: Prepare Your Washer
Before using Affresh, ensure that your washer is empty. Remove any clothing or items from the drum. If you’re using an HE washer, check that there are no obstructions in the drain pump filter as well. This preparation will allow the Affresh tablets to work effectively without interference.
Step 2: Add Affresh Tablets
For standard washers, add one tablet of Affresh directly into the drum of the machine. For HE washers, add one tablet in the detergent tray if specified by manufacturer’s instructions; otherwise placing it in the drum works too. Avoid adding any laundry detergent during this cleaning cycle as it can counteract the cleaning action of Affresh.
Step 3: Run a Cleaning Cycle
Once you’ve added the tablet(s), select a cleaning cycle if your washer has one; otherwise opt for a hot water cycle (the hottest setting available). Running an empty load will allow the powerful formula to dissolve stains and eliminate residues effectively.
After completing these steps and running the cycle with Affresh, wipe down any surfaces inside your washer with a clean cloth to catch any remaining debris or moisture. Regularly cleaning your washing machine ensures not only fresher smelling clothes but also enhances its efficiency over time. Make sure you incorporate this practice into your monthly maintenance routine.
