Washing Machine Cleaner Instructions

number1

Ensure Washing Machine is Empty

ACTIVE Washing Machine Cleaner should be used by itself in an empty washer.

Do not add clothing or other cleaning products.

step4
number2

Add 1 tablet directly into the washer drum

Remove the tablet from the wrapper and place it in the washer drum.

 

Do not put the tablet into the detergent dispenser tray.

step5
number3

Run the washing machine on Normal cycle with hot water

We recommend using hot water on “normal” mode to fully clean the machine. If your machine has an option for load size, select “large” or the highest available setting.

 

Or, for machines with a “clean washer” setting, use that mode.

step6
number4

After cycle is finished, use a towel to wipe the seal

For front load washers, some of the grime may accumulate in the door seal. Wipe it off after the clean cycle is finished.

 

Leave washer door open to air it out.

step7

Usage Tips

  • Washing machines with heavy residue may require multiple cleanings to loosen and remove all the grime.

  • If odors still remain after the first cleaning, repeat instructions steps 1-4 above.

  • For machines with heavy visible residue, it may be helpful to pre-wet and lightly scrub those areas before using ACTIVE Washing Machine Cleaner.

  • For front load machines, we recommend leaving the washer door slightly open when not in use. Allowing some airflow helps prevent odors from forming in the washer drum.
