#TIDE WASHING MACHINE CLEANER HOW TO#

This summer I noticed a smell coming from my washer. I give my washer a wipe-down once a month or so, especially in the summer months when my kids are in the dirt, grass and pool a lot. I will try putting it in the drum itself and report back.įalse Excellent product to get your washing machine back to FRESH!Īfter years of using my washing machine it started to smell. Overall, for a Tide product, I was not super impressed.

I suggest if your skin is sensitive, like mine, to run a full cycle afterwards with water only to remove all residue from this, as it will get on your next load of clothing and it will make your skin irritated. I don't mind strong odors but even this was enough to take me back. I noticed the mildew was gone around the ring of the machine and it was very shiny.Īnother downside if you are sensitive to smell is this is very, very strong smelling. The one good thing is that it does work, regardless of most of the cleaner being stuck in the dispenser. I have yet to try this method but the packaging has terrible, wrong directions.

I then went online to read how to use it and it states to put in the drum itself. Do NOT do that! After I followed the directions, I opened the door to see a cleaner machine, which was great! I then opened the door for the detergent dispenser and it was full of this cleaner, crystallized and grimy! I had to dump it out and wash with water to remove it.

On the package itself it states to put the cleaner INSIDE OF THE DETERGENT DISPENSER. I have actually used it twice to see if the first time I did something wrong. I ordered a free sample of this product and used it.
