HE washers today use less water than traditional washers, which can lead to residues from laundry soils, detergents and water hardness mineral being left behind in areas you can’t see. Proper care of your machine, which includes monthly clean-outs with Tide Washing Machine Cleaner, helps keep odor-causing residues from causing odor problems down the road.

Tide Washing Machine Cleaner takes a 3-pronged approach to cleaning:
1. Fights odor-causing residues with a powerful oxygenated bleach system that gets at the source of the odor.
2. Penetrates & lifts away residues and deposits from the surfaces in your washer with specially designed surface active ingredients.
3. Freshens your washer, while leaving behind a crisp, clean scent.

Using Tide Washing Machine Cleaner is fast and simple. For best results on HE and standard machines:
1. Remove clothing from your washer.
2. Add 1 pouch of Tide Washing Machine Cleaner directly into your drum.
3. Run a normal cycle, selecting the hot water option.
4. Use once a month to help keep your machine smelling clean and fresh.

If an odor problem or visible residue area already exists, use 1 pouch of Tide Washing Machine Cleaner per week for 3 consecutive weeks. Afterwards, continue on just 1 pouch per month as part of your washer’s regular maintenance.

No, you must remove ALL clothing or other items from your washer before adding Tide Washing Machine Cleaner, to protect your garments and to get the best results.

There are several precautions to take proper care of your washer. When not in use, keep the door to your washer open slightly. And always use HE detergent with your HE machine to help keep excess residues from depositing.
