Uproot Clean Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets Ultra - 40% Stronger Formula: Designed for Pet Owners, Remove Residue, Grime & Odors, Compatible with HE, Top & Front Load, 24 Pack - 12 Month Supply

My laundry had started coming out of the washing machine with an unpleasant odor that I noticed as soon as I removed wet clothes, towels, or blankets. I was beginning to think it was time to replace the machine, but that just isn't in the budget. After doing some research online, I learned that detergent residue, grease, and grime can build up in parts of the washer you can't easily see. We live on a hobby farm and care for multiple dogs, cats, horses, sheep, goats, and a pet pig, and our 3 year old grandson also lives with us, so it's no exaggeration to say our washing machine handles a lot of heavily soiled laundry. I had occasionally used the washer's self-cleaning cycle, but it clearly wasn't enough to remove the hair and greasy buildup. After just one use of these tablets, the drum was sparkling clean. I'm sure the valves, pipes, and filter aren't completely clean after years of washing filthy farm laundry, and I did have to wipe away a fair amount of loosened grime from around the door seal. However, the bad smell is completely gone, and my clothes smell fresh again. It may be my imagination, but I think they look cleaner too. These Uproot cleaning tablets are incredibly easy to use and cost far less than repairing or replacing my washing machine. I plan to run another cleaning tablet through the washer next week before settling into a monthly maintenance routine. Based on my experience so far, these tablets really work for my front-load HE washer, and I appreciate that I don't have to worry about harming my septic system.

Wife complained Affresh still left a bad smell behind. But this product cleaned up where Affresh left off. It really does work. The smell is gone. For now. Might change stars if it comes back in three days. But so far so good.

I was skeptical when I bought these. I used one and saw a difference immediately. The smell was gone, and it looked cleaner.

Each series of photos shows before cleaning cycle, after but before wipe down and after wipe down. The dustpan pic is of the drain plug clean out and the rag is what I was able to easily wipe off of the gasket. It’s been a while since I had cleaned my washer with anything because nothing really worked and it was getting a funk so I thought I’d give these a try. They did seem to work better than other brands that I’ve tried. The little drain nozzle did have quite a bit of gunk come out. Nothing really in the filter itself. We also lost power for a few hours mid cycle so maybe it would have worked even better if went through a complete cycle all at once. I was worried about the scent that might be left behind because of family members with sensitivities but there isn’t much at all. It just smells fresh. Overall, I’m fairly satisfied with it. I’m going to try it again today just to see. It would have gotten 5 stars if the goop coming out of the drain looked like it does in the video but it just wasn’t that satisfying.

Worked great! For a while I noticed a mold smell on my clothes after washing them, especially when I was outside in the heat. I ran Uproot through my machine twice when they arrived and the smell from my clothing was gone when I did another load of laundry. I can only smell my detergent now which is exactly what I needed these for.
