Washing Machine Cleaner Descaler Pack Reviews Summary

Efficiency and Ease of Use

Pros:

• "They are highly rated for a reason. They work."
• "Just throw a couple of tabs in and run the machine."
• "The dishwasher was really clean after running 2 tabs on normal cycle."
• "These are less expensive than other machine cleaners, which I like so I can be a little more proactive about cleaning the washer."
• "Very simple - just unwrap a cube and throw it in the washer."
• "No measuring or messy liquids – just drop a tablet into the drum and let it work its magic."
• "Just open the door of your washing machine, insert one capsule, turn the water in hot cycle, normal wash, put the lid down ..and forget about it."

Cons:

• "The packets can be a little difficult to open by hand at times."
• "I was hopeful this would get rid of the musty smell. But my washer uses a sensor for the water level, and I was not able to fill the washing machine with just the tablet in the washing machine."
• "However, be careful with the dishwasher tabs! They will flood your kitchen."
• "The dishwasher one makes my dishwasher leak (I have a smaller dishwasher) so I think I probably need to cut the thingy in half."
• "Instructions say to use normal or clean mode with empty washer. Neither of this modes will fill the the basin with water."
• "I put this in the machine like they said to do and set it to clean on my washer. When it was done I opened my washing machine and found it in there never dissolved at all."
• "The water doesn't flush it completely from the washer machine or drain plumbing leaving residues and attracting mold, dirt and creating the perfect environment for bacteria to grow."

Cleaning Effectiveness

Pros:

• "I use one tablet once a month on my front load washer's 'tub clean' cycle, and when it's done, the tub is spotless and smells great!"

Cons:

• "While as effective as other products, I don’t know that I was wooed."
• "I'm not sure why people are obsessed with these and why they have such good reviews."
• "Maybe my washing machine does really well and keeps itself clean. Or maybe these don't work."
• "These did not fix that, no magical odor remover."
• "I used as much as 3 at a time on the hottest setting and on the coldest setting and I don't see any difference at all."
• "I can't tell almost any difference, the only thing different I can tell is the smell."

Value and Supply

Pros:

• "I am delighted I got a one year supply. One less thing for me to remember to order."
• "A 12-month supply adds to the convenience—highly recommended!"
• "I package lasts 1 year, 1 tablet per month. More affordable than other products."
• "Convenient packaging - The individually wrapped tablets stay fresh and are easy to use one at a time."
• "Years' worth of product, super great value."
• "And they are lot of uses in one box. So a great value!"
• "I am about to have to reorder another year's worth supply box and will continue to use this product that cleans out my washer even after using it to wash dog bedding lol."

Cons:

• "Tried this brand this time.... it won't last for a year as they say."
• "I feel like I’d need to use half the box to maybe see some sort of a difference."
• "I feel like I have to use 2-3 to make the effect I’m looking for."
• "I think I need to use more than one because on the clean cycle because I didn't see enough foam/suds action."
• "I'm hoping it gets the rest out. Good thing they give you 24 tablets since you have to do it twice."
• "I had to used 11 tabs today back to back to back and was still seeing the sludge floating around."
• "I just think I’d prefer a lemon scent instead of the not soapy, not bleachy, not super strong but definitely chemical scent these left behind."
