Works great. Makes my washer smell fresh and clean. I use it monthly or after I wash my dogs bed.
I purchased the 3pk of Tide Washing Machine Cleaner to get the musty smell out of my front loader. I followed the directions exactly, and all it did was leave a clumpy mess in my detergent drawer. So I ran the washer AGAIN and put the powder inside the drum (even though it says to put it in the detergent dispenser, which I did the first time). And it still didn't make much difference. So needless to say, I spent about $5.00 on the product itself, and then another $2-$3 to run the washer twice! What junk. I think I'll stick to just running a quick 20 minute cycle with the just soap and water to clean my machine.. Not very impressed at all!
Wow. Great purchase! This made my washing machine just like new again! Highly recommended.
Tide Washing Machine Cleaner is fantastic. I have a very old, second-hand washing machine. It was starting to stink and just didn't seem like it was all that clean. I was feeling like how could I wash clothes when the machine was dirty? Then I saw this product and knew I had to try it. I'm so glad I did!! My washer is so much better. It doesn't have that moldy smell any more and doesn't have that dirty feeling either! It worked so well when my friend told me she was so fed up with her washing machine she thought she may need a new one because her towels kept coming out stinky, I gave her one of the packettes to try it out and the next time we spoke she was so happy with the results she no longer was thinking about getting a new machine, just a box of Tide Washing Machine Cleaner! Tide Washing Machine Cleaner is worth every penner, You Betcha I suggest it to friends and anyone else!
I have been curious about this washing machine cleaner since seeing the commercials.I do lots of laundry and want my clothes and linens to be fresh and clean.I have used the scent boosters and they are really good but this just seems to do a more theory job of getting rid of odors in the washing machine.It also gets rid of mildew buildup really well that can collect on the rubber gasket at the bottom of the door of the washing machine.
My washer was starting to get a funky smell from clothes that I had done heavy yard work in,clothes from the going to the lake,and canning and preserving heavy smelling ingredients like garlic etc.This cleared up the odors with the first use.It says to use monthly which I will continue to use.I have been trying homemade recipes in the past that just didn't do the job as well as this Tide cleaner.There is just something satisfying as well to know you have a clean washing machine after all you put your clothes in there to clean them so why wouldn't you want to clean your washing machine.
Who washes their washing machine, right? I occasionally would run an empty load with some vinegar or whatever reasonably eco-friendly DIY option to freshen things up because I have a high efficiency front loading machine, and those rubber seals can get kind of manky-smelling after a while. However, I found that it never really made that much of a difference, and instead just frequently wiped down the rubber parts and entire interior with a Lysol disinfecting wipe. Other than the slight mildewy smell, I didn't really give it much thought.
This week I found the Tide Washing Machine Cleaner on sale at my local grocery store and thought I'd give it a whirl. My washer is so sparkling clean and fresh that I cannot believe the difference it made! You are supposed to do this every month, which I'm not sure I will necessarily keep up with because we have a septic system and well water (and I don't want to put any more chemicals in the soil than I absolutely have to).
However, for spring/fall cleaning purposes I will definitely use this again. I feel better about the overall cleanliness of my laundry now that my machine has been freshened up. Super easy to use - just tear open the pouch and pour into the detergent drawer (sprinkle into the drum if you're using a top loader) and allow to run a "regular" cycle on Hot. That's it!
