It’s laundry day. You’re ready to tackle it. But you realize there’s an odor coming from your washer. Or you take your clothes out of the washer and see some white streaks.


We’re here to help. Here are a few tips for keeping it fresh on laundry day.


KEEP YOUR WASHER FRESH
The Clean Washer cycle should be run once a month, or every 30 washes. This cycle cleans by using higher water volumes in combination with affresh® washer cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach.


To run this cycle, place an affresh® Washer Cleaner tablet (or a cup of liquid chlorine bleach) in the bottom of your empty washer, and select the Clean Washer cycle. Press and hold the Start button to begin. After the Clean Washer cycle has stopped, run a Rinse & Spin cycle to rinse cleaner from washer.


WASHER NOT CLEANING OR RINSING WELL
Fabric Softener
Fabric softener is great, but a little can go a long way. Make sure you select the Fabric Softener option when you use it. This allows more water into the cycle for a better rinse. Also try diluting it and adding it only to the rinse portion of the cycle.


Bleach
Undiluted chlorine bleach can damage any fabric it touches. Measure carefully to avoid damaging loads. To avoid accidental spotting, wipe down the dispenser and surrounding area after dispensing.
