Product Information

If you can get past that, OxiClean’s powder washing machine cleaner is a good bet. It’s safe for all washing machines and septic systems, so you won’t need to worry about any damage to your existing setup. Just be sure to wipe out any extra residue from the washer drum before running a load with clothes, otherwise you'll risk staining and discoloration. It is a fact of life that every appliance in your home needs a little TLC now and then, and your washing machine is no different. Wash cycles at 40°C and below can be a breeding ground for bacteria, residue and limescale and using a washing machine cleaning product can make a huge difference. Next, add in 2 cups of plain white vinegar and 10 drops of an essential oil like tea tree or lavender, which help with mildew and mineral deposits and will also act as a mild disinfectant, where you normally put your detergent. Run another cycle through and set it to the longest, hottest, largest load setting you can. The vinegar will help break down any deposits and further remove moldy smells.

No. Avoid vinegar because it can damage the seals and hoses in your washing machine. This can lead to an expensive visit from a plumber. You can however use baking soda to help eliminate strong odors like soap scum and other gunk from your washer. Why does my washing machine still smell after I cleaned it? Like HG Service-it Deep Clean, Ecozone’s Washing Machine Cleaner can also be used on your dishwasher! However, some reviewers report that it is less effective and that they’d prefer to buy a dishwasher-specific cleaner instead, but it’s worth giving it a whirl at this price. Animal lovers will also be happy to learn that this product is free from animal testing and approved by Cruelty-Free International. Washing machine cleaners come in tablet, liquid, and powder form. You can also use all-purpose cleaning wipes to clean your washing machine, although this method won't be able to get into the inner workings of your machine. “Make sure to find something that will clean out the inside of the machine and the drain,” says Marisol Wilkens, a residential cleaner with over 20 years of experience. I hope that this recipe inspires you to start thinking about low-waste, non-toxic ways of doing laundry. This guide will share the most important considerations to keep in mind when shopping for the best laundry scent booster for your laundry room and then highlight some of the top products on the market.

Once per month, simply add one tablet to the drum and run a normal cycle (with hot water) or your machine's self-cleaning cycle, if it has one. The time-release tablet works throughout the entire cycle removing the residues bacteria feast on. It cleans the drum, pump, valves, hoses and more. In our tests, it left both front- and top-loading machines clean and fresh smelling. Living in a hard water area can be tough on your appliances; from your best clothes steamer to your washing machine, they must be de-scaled frequently. Whilst it is true that Calgon Powerball Water Softener Tablets are expensive, there is no doubt that they’re effective. Recommended by Mumsnetters and plumbers, they agree that this is the best washing machine cleaner for hard water areas - a one size fits all solution to your problems! It works effectively on all fabrics, including those that are harder to wash, such as couches and carpets.

Run a frequent hot wash: If you’re always doing lots of washing and use a lot of fabric conditioner, running a hot wash once a week will give it a good rinse. (Remember to open the door and detergent drawer after use to let the machine dry out.)Most washing machine cleaners come in the form of tablets. You can add washing machine cleaner tablets to the machine via a detergent drawer or directly in the washer, and they dissolve in water when you run a regular cycle. However, you can also find wipe, liquid, and powder cleaners. Liquids and powders work like tablets, cleaning your machine during a cycle. With wipes, you have to manually clean the tub, and the cleaner doesn’t get into the tubes and other elements of the drainage system. However, a wipe may be useful along with one of the other cleaners if there’s a certain part that the tablet, liquid, or powder didn’t thoroughly clean. Ingredients The company is owned by Whirlpool, a trusted appliance maker, so you can feel confident knowing this cleaner is safe for top-loaders, front-loaders, and high-efficiency machines.

The cleaner, which is safe for all machines and plumbing systems, including HE machines and septic systems, doesn’t leave behind the same residue many other cleaners do. You can even use a little bit to scrub the washing machine door gasket and detergent tray. There are a plethora of options from which to choose when shopping for the best laundry scent booster.
