Just use a cup of Clorox bleach, the formula that says it disinfects--not any of the fancy scented Clorox. Put the bleach in the bleach dispenser and select the machine's clean washer cycle. I did this on my Duet about a month ago. My manual even states if I don't have Affresh, use the 1 cup of bleach. |

Bleach works great, sometimes you can find higher doses of increased strength....
dishwasher powder has worked in the past..... as well as chlorine granules for pools, which has shown to be a powerful cleaner for stubborn mold areas...... bathroom shower cleaner with bleach for mold/mildew is great for dispenser areas and rubber boots where the normal cleaner can't reach.... these things have worked on some of the nastiest machines I got in....but once you get it cleaned, simple warm/hot washes, and occasional bleach added, you never seem to have an issue return.... |

The one time I tried Affresh in a FL, it left a strong residual scent. washerdude, follow your machine's instructions for cleaning with bleach, if a specific procedure is outlined. As I recall from the Duet on which I ran a cleaning cycle, the procedure for it called for adding liquid chlorine bleach to the main wash detergent cup (not the designated bleach cup) at a specific point when directed by aB appearing on the display. |

no different that some Whirlpool dryers had a 'Dryel' setting on their control panels....
Cabrios had an 'Oxi' dispenser.... yet bleach is just bleach...not Clorox softener is the same..... its all a gimmick of some sort.... remember a time when machines advertised it would wash and spin, and CLEAN itself automatically! watch there be a new advertisement.....just like your Self-Clean oven....new to introduce, the Self-Clean washer!.... I took the advantage of HE FLers as a chance to wash in HOT water, efficiently and effectively, for what?...a few gallons, I use more in a shower!....Cold/Cool/Luke Warm washes were for regular TLers to save energy... |
