CLEARALIFWashing Machine Cleaner 12 Pack,1 Year Supply, Clean Inside Drum and Laundry Tub Seal, Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets For HE Front Loader & Top Load Washer

I like the cleaner smell of washer, easy to use no residue in washer.

These are really easy to use, you just drop a tablet into the washer itself, not the detergent loader, and do a cycle in hot water to give the machine a good cleaning to kill odors and break up hard water deposits. I try to keep my machine clean, but I do have very hard water where I live, and this did give me a small but noticeable reduction in calcium buildup, which was awesome. There was some residue of the tablet left after the first cleaning cycle, so I ran a second, and that got it all out and left the machine looking and smelling nearly as fresh as new! The main reason I was excited to try these was to kill that funky "old clothes" smell that gets in, which my natural vinegar rinse and other tricks just weren't eradicating fully. These definitely got the smell out, I was more than happy with the "fresh" scent of the machine and laundry loads it has given me since using the first tablet.The box claims these are a year's supply, so the 12 tablets are for once a month in theory, but the box also says for best results to use one tablet every two weeks, so... For my hard water, and large laundry loads, I think I'll go with the bi-weekly machine cleaning and call the box a half-year's supply. The results were excellent, definitely worth the effort, and I want to keep that fresh, clean machine shine and scent going. Definitely what my washer needed to freshen its "old clothes" odor. I'd choose these again and recommend them without a doubt.

I have a top loader. He's working it well. They are so easy to use because you just toss one in and it works great. My washing machine is new and has not ever really looked dirty, but I'd like to keep it that way. I do appreciate that these freshen the smell of my washer when empty.

I didn't see a difference in my washing machine.

First time in my life I have ever used a chemical to clean my washing machine.BUT - I honestly never had a reason to.I know now to leave the door open on my washing machine.I think this is the main reason machines smell.Even when I had a side loader - I would leave the door cracked open.And with my top loader - I just leave the lid open.I realize that leaving the lid open does not always look the best.And if you have kids, or the afraid what might get into the machine, then you close the lid.But - I did use the tablet.The magic ingredient really is just the amount of sodium percarbonate to use.AND using HOT water to activate the ingredient.My review does not compare other products or pricing of either same ingredients, or others that will clean washing machines.I did research to educate myself on sodium percarbonate, since I had never used such a product.Seems it can be used also in a toilet bowl.Or it comes as crystals, dry format.Once my pack runs out, I will research more as to what I will purchase for continual cleaning of my machine.

I wasn't sure what to expect with the CLEARALIF Washing Machine Cleaner 12 Pack but I went to our HE machine and put one in. Put the machine to Self-Clean and let it rip. I had no idea that the cycle was 4 hours on hot water (and in our case steam). But I let it go. I looked back in about an hour later and the machine was churning away with a light bit of foaming bubbles going on.I came back the next morning, opened the door and saw no film. I was happy about that considering the package had noted that there might be a left over film. I did note that the plastic packaging remained in the washer. At the time it dawned on me that I should have removed the tablet from the packaging, but the item seemed none the worse as it appeared to have done the job.I could notice no difference in drum cleanliness, etc., but then it never seemed particularly dirty to me in the first place. However, my partner ran a load later that day and remarked that the tub no loner smelled slightly musty and asked if I had changed detergents or something. I said no, but indicated that I had ran a cycle with this cleaner. So maybe it does something. At least it does no harm and since my other half noticed it, maybe it does some good!************** VINE Notice ************************Even though I have been given this product as part of a VINE review by Amazon, my reviews are honest and not influenced by receiving the product. Quite frankly, I could buy this if I wanted it, and I am doing these reviews for fun. I am a 65 year old guy and have appreciated the very clear and detailed reviews on Amazon. I started leaving my own and was selected to give these for products that I wanted to look into. But I will call a dog a dog.*************** Explanation of Rating System *************************My rating system. 5 Stars means that it not only worked well, but had features that I wasn't expecting. That is, it worked beyond expectations. 4 Stars means it did what it said it would do and I found no problems that kept me from liking the product or annoying me to the point of wanting me to do something about it. 3 Stars means that it worked, but it had a problem significantly annoying enough that I decided that it interfered with my enjoyment of the product. 2 Stars is that the product may have barely worked, but there were enough problems that made me desire to either return it or to use it grudgingly because it was pain in the toucus. 1 Star - it simply fails in all respects, and I'll tell you why.

I'm reviewing CLEARALIF Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets, For HE Front Loader & Top Load Washer 12 Pack, 1 Year, For HE Front Loader & Top Load Washer.These tablets work for both regular and HE washing machines. When using for an HE machine, it suggests using the largest and longest setting using hot water. For non-HE washers a normal or heavy cycle with hot water will work. (No clothes while using tablets.)I use an oxygen releasing booster regularly and that does a pretty good job of keeping our washer clean and fresh smelling, but I'm glad to have these tablets to give it a more thorough cleaning.At $9.99 for 12 tablets, that comes to $0.83 each, which I find to be reasonable.As a side note, these CLEARALIF Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets are made in China.
