About a month ago I heard a loud bang and the drum started scraping the sides. I called the repairman and he said he thought the repair would run about $400. That was too much so I gave the machine to a guy and he took it apart and found the spider-arm (holds the drum) had shattered. That's what the repairman thought it was. The drum and spider-arm were completely covered with a mass of soap scum buildup. So I would say Vinegar does not help AT-ALL. I bought a Maytag top loader without an agitator. It has a cycle called "clean washer with Affresh" which I will use every month. It sounds like cheap insurance on future damage. **Q: Is this a cruelty-free product?** A: The box does not say if any ingredients were tested on animals. The ingredients are: Sodium percarbonate, Sodium carbonate, Glucono-delta-lactone, Polyethylene glycol, Sodium acetate, and Fragrance. Affresh products are made by Whirlpool so I checked their safety data sheet (www.affresh.com/sds). The fragrance was tested using IFRA standards. The IFRA website (https://ifrafragrance.org/search?indexCatalogue=general-search&searchQuery=Animal) says they are incorporating non-animal testing, but it appears they are just now in transition. It is a “Safer Choice” product, meaning it doesn’t contain ingredients known to be harmful to the environment. Hope this helps! **Q: Can it be used in a samsung he front loader (about 6 years old) with no auto clean button safely?** A: Yes our washer is a frontload whirlpool 2003. You just lay the tablet inside washer and run on regular cycle. Use once a month to keep washer from any mildew odors great. Highly recommend. **Q: How do I use it with top load machine that doesn’t have cleaning program?** A: A HE ("High Efficiency") washer without a "clean" cycle is a problem for me, as my washer (Frigidaire model FFLE4033QT0) does not have a "clean" cycle and also does not allow me to select water level, which I would like to set to High, but I can't. So the empty washer tub with Affresh tablet fills with only 2 inches of water, because the "High Efficiency" washer senses a very small load of laundry, because the drum is empty. This means I can't clean my washer machine. I also tried manually filling the washer with hot water using a soup pot, and the machine drained all the hot water when I pushed the start button. Wonderful. The geniuses who design these machines... I think a hack would be to fill the machine with old wet towels, so the sensor feels a heavy load and fills the tub with water, and run Affresh with the old towels. I don't think there is another way. ## Frequently Bought Together - Affresh Washing Machine Cleaner, Cleans Front Load and Top Load Washers, Including HE, 5 Tablets - Affresh W10549851 Dishwasher Cleaner 6 Tablets Formulated to Clean Inside All Machine Models, Count - Affresh Garbage Disposal Cleaner, Removes Odor-Causing Residues, 9 Tablets [3 Pack] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1964689-affresh-washing-machine-cleaner-helps-power-away-odor-causing-bacteria](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1964689-affresh-washing-machine-cleaner-helps-power-away-odor-causing-bacteria) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
