Clears the smell at the source

Musty laundry usually means residue inside the machine, not dirty clothes. One tablet in an empty hot cycle breaks down the buildup that feeds the smell.

Reaches what a cloth can't

The cycle carries the formula through the drum and the places you cannot wipe by hand. The door seal still deserves a quick wipe; the rest is covered.

Refill, don't rebuy

Six pre-dosed tablets per box. Run one every few weeks and one flat box covers months of regular use, no jug and no measuring.

How to use

Place one tablet in the empty drum and run the hottest, longest cycle your machine has. On front loaders, pull back the door gasket afterward and wipe the channel where water pools. Repeat every few weeks with regular use, and leave the door ajar between washes so the drum can dry.

BUILT FOR

BUILT FOR THIS MESS.

The musty smell washing machines grow over time: detergent film, softener residue and the buildup that collects in the drum and door seal. A machine cleaner for the machine, so laundry comes out smelling like nothing at all.

FAQ

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.

Do I run it with laundry in the machine?

No. The drum needs to be empty so the formula works on the machine instead of the clothes. One tablet, hottest cycle, done.

How often should I use it?

Every few weeks with regular laundry loads. If the machine has been neglected for years, the smell can take more than one cycle to clear; that is the buildup's fault, not yours.

Will it clean the door seal too?

The cycle reaches the drum and the parts you cannot see. The gasket channel still deserves a quick hand wipe, and leaving the door ajar between washes keeps buildup from growing back as fast.

When does my next box ship?

Your first order ships right away. Refills follow the schedule you picked, counted from that first order. Your account shows the next ship date anytime.

How do I skip or pause?

From your account, in a couple of taps: skip a box, pause the schedule, or change the timing. No phone calls.
