Great cleaner
I got this a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised how well it cleaned up my musty machine. It looks brand new! You really don't realize how much dirt collectsvover time and neverending piles of laundry.

Clean machines
Not sure how much my machines really needed to be cleaned but these did make a noticeable difference. They are easy to use and does what they say. I liked the fresh scent that it leaves afterwards in the machine.
From Nehemiah
Easy to use
My washer was definitely getting a funky smell. It wasn't affecting my clothes but when you opened it up you got a nose full. Using this once has completely gotten rid of the smell! Thank goodness....my pregnant nose is thrilled.

Great!
This washing machine cleaner is great! Tide is always such a reliable brand with great products. It smells so nice just like the rest of their products. My washing machine now looks, feels, and smell so nice!!
From Nehemiah
Works great but strong perfume smell!
I wanted to try this Tide Washing Machine Cleaner because our machine does have a strange odor from time to time. Now, it could be the fact that we have an older home and old galvanized pipes, but it does have an odor occasionally. I used the Tide Washing Machine Cleaner a few times. While it does seem to have a fresh clean scent, I'm not 100% convinced it is disinfecting the machine. If you are sensitive to perfumey smells, I would not recommend this particular cleaner. It does have a strong sc...

Great if you have a pet!!!!
This product is absolutely the best! I have a puppy and he is shedding currently. I currently ""wash"" the washing machine with bleach/ dollar store detergent after washing his bedding, but since I've found this product there is no reason to use that. Everyone who has a pet knows what I'm talking about. You see fur in the barrel and don't want to wash your clothes in the dirty washing machine. This product was so great! It gets ALL of the dirt and fur out of the washer. I would recommend this pr...

Works and smells great!
For some reason, once the Covid cases started getting worse, finding the usual cleaning items I liked became just about impossible (understandable for some things, but washing machine cleaner??). I was able to get this after about a month of searching for something and my machine notification going off after every cycle. Tossed in a packet of this and let the machine run and upon completion my machine immediately smelled better. I have a front loading Electrolux that I try to clean every or ever...

Shiny clean
This washing machine cleaner works great. My washer looks great and like new again. It's was easy and simple to use. I'm definitely going to get using this product on a regular basis. I highly recommend it to keep your machine clean
From Nehemiah
Cleaner than Before
Without being able to see the water that comes out of the machine, we do see the machine cleaner than before. The drum doesn't have any stains like it did before from accidentally washing colored paper and gum. Right after using, the machine did smell fresher as well but wasn't overwhelmingly clean with a scent. Overall, I like the machine looking shiner on the inside so I would use this every few months to freshen it up but without really seeing the water that came from this cleaning I can't re...

Love it
I have a front loading washing machine and it sometimes gets unexpected odors that you can't seem to get rid of. I Tide washing machine cleaner and thought why not give it a try. I must say I wasn't disappointed it left my washing machine smelling a lot better then it smelled before I used Tide's washing machine cleaner. I noticed that the mildew odor was gone and boy was I pleased. Great job Tide!!
From Nehemiah
Like a charm!
These tide washing machine cleaners did exactly what my washer needed them to do! The light was telling me my washer needed to be cleaned and i popped one of these bad boys in and voila! The washer is clean and happy now!
From Nehemiah
Worked great
My washer had a slight mildew smell that I have been trying to get rid of. This product works amazingly well. My washer smells better than when we bought it. I highly recommend that you try this product.

Helps keep washer clean
I have noticed since buying my washing machine 3 years ago that my clothes and washer seem to have an off putting smell. I got this in hopes of the smell going away. I have used this as directed on the box and did notice the smell has seemed to go away. It is easy to use and has step by step directions written on the box. I will continue to use this as directed to try and keep my washer clean and clothes smelling clean.
From Nehemiah

Clean washer after a litter of puppies
This couldn't have come at a better time. We just had puppies and have been washing very messy towels and blankets in our washer machine and we needed something to self clean the washer. This stuff works great and I am very confident in using the washer machine for my own clothes.
From Nehemiah
Excellent Product
I really love the Tide Washing Machine Cleaner. This is a fantastic product and it's super easy to use. You basically just pour the cleaner into your machine and run a normal cycle on hot. The results are great and no more foul order in your machine. I highly recommend this product because it works so well.
From Nehemiah
Great washer wash
Tide washing machine cleaner is an easy to use tab to clean the gunk out of your washer. Love the ease of popping a tab into the washer, setting it on hot wash to clean is wonderfully simple. Definitely recommend

Odor is Gone
My washing machine was due for a good inside cleaning and was beginning to have a lingering mildew type odor. The Tide Washing Machine Cleaner packet took care of this issue for me. It was easy to open the powder packet and set my washing machine on a hot setting to run a cycle. It took care of the odor problem after just one use & cleaned it thoroughly. I appreciate that it left a nice fresh scent.
From Nehemiah
The most adult thing I've done all day.
I feel like Monica from Friends when I find joy in cleaning my cleaning products. This washing machine cleaner smells lightly like original Tide mixed with a heavily caustic finish. I'm not sure how effectively my washing machine was actually cleaned– the discoloration on my agitator was not suddenly scrubbed clean nor was the washing water nearly as filthy as some internet videos might suggest. But I do feel satisfied knowing the depth of my washing machine might be just a bit cleaner and keep ...
