A: Dear Valued Customer: Thank you for your inquiry regarding using Affresh. You may use it any time needed, however we recommend once or twice a month as needed.
As soon as you start to smell your clothes getting musty. And you can repeat it up to 3 times, if necessary, but I only had to do it once.
You can use as many times as the day allows. But it is recommended that you let the washing machine rest for half an hour after previous cycle. So this allows the motor to cool down and . That is a recommendation and not a limitation. Also don't overload it otherwise you'll shorten it's life.
That being said, once you use Washer Magic once, you should be able to use Affresh about once a month to keep the sludge from coming back.
Yes. I have anyway. I have a Samsung washing machine that has the “Affresh” cleaning cycle on it and even tho the box says to use one, I double up purely because I'm super ocd about my washer being as clean as possible.
Without proper care, this buildup can create a moldy or mildew smell. That grime and buildup in your washer can also get left behind on your clothing and lead to that musty smell. It's hard to get clean clothes from a dirty washer.
For a regular load of laundry, one pod is enough. When doing an extra-large load with enough clothes to fill a front-loading washer that holds up to 20 pounds, use two pods. Laundry detergent pods work best in standard top load washers and high-efficiency top-loading and front-loading washers.
You can't go wrong with vinegar and baking soda - it's probably the most popular alternative to Affresh, and for good reason. Here's what you do: grab a cup of baking soda and two cups of white vinegar, then put them right in your washing machine's drum. Run it on hot water, and these two ingredients will get to work.

DO YOU USE AFFRESH® WASHER CLEANER WITH HOT OR COLD WATER? Affresh® washing machine cleaner is used with hot water with either a Normal or Heavy cycle. Using hot water allows the tablets to dissolve in the proper time frame.
An empty hot wash is recommended to keep the insides clean and efficient. To do this, put on a hot cycle without any laundry. Also add a dash of white vinegar, which will help remove residue and bacteria. Make sure to clean out the detergent drawers at the same time as well.
This, in turn, can lead to mold and mildew growth on rubber gaskets and bad odors. At worst, using too much laundry soap in your washing machine can cause drainage issues and permanent damage to your washing machine.
The average lifespan of a washing machine varies depending on the manufacturer, model, and usage, typically ranging from 7 and 13 years. Proper maintenance and cleaning can extend its longevity and improve its efficiency.

As an alternative to a formulated washer tub cleaning product like Affresh, you can use a DIY washing machine cleaner to clean and sanitize the inside of the tub with a combination of white vinegar and baking soda, or liquid chlorine bleach (be aware that vinegar and bleach should never be used together).
Use a combination of white vinegar and baking soda to naturally clean your washing machine; pour half a cup of baking soda into the drum followed by two cups of vinegar in the detergent dispenser, then run a hot wash cycle. For stubborn grime and odors, consider commercial washing machine cleaners.
White vinegar, also known as distilled vinegar or spirit vinegar, is made by fermenting grain alcohol (ethanol) which then turns into acetic acid. Water is then added to the vinegar, so white vinegar is made of five to ten percent acetic acid and ninety to ninety-five percent water.
Furthermore, using excess amounts of detergent leaves a residue inside the washing machine that traps odors throughout the day while also keeping water trapped so washers don't drain properly causing more damage to both pumps/motors as well as requiring additional energy for every wash because there are always extra ...
