A Cleaner Dishwasher? Now THAT’s Affresh!

April 2, 2016 By Lena

Have you been lucky enough to come across a product you just can’t live without? You know, one that totally changes your life, and you can’t believe it took so long for you to discover it?

That’s exactly how I feel about affresh Washer Cleaner. And, if you’re one of the thousands of Canadians who have Googled “how to get rid of sewer smell in front load washing machine”, chances are it’s your miracle product, too.

And now, I’m over the moon about affresh Dishwasher Cleaner! I had started to suspect that my dishwasher was under-performing; my stemware was slightly filmy, my plates and bowls were often not clean enough.

(Not to mention, but I will anyways, a musty odor. No one wants to eat off dishes that came from a funky washer, am I right?)

I fiddled with the rinse agent and even poked around the dishwasher to see if there was a problem, when all of a sudden, the heavens parted and I realized my dishwasher likely just needed a good cleaning. Of course! I couldn’t believe I hadn’t thought of it sooner – it was pretty gnarly in there! And since I consider affresh Washer Cleaner my personal salvation, you know I couldn’t wait to get my hands on affresh Dishwater Cleaner.
DSC_0185bThe promise: affresh Dishwater Cleaner powers away hard water and mineral deposits to keep your dishwasher working its best.

The outcome: Heck yes! If you’re just about to begin your spring cleaning, you’ll want to add this product to your shopping list. Promise. And don’t worry – if you’re feeling mildly alarmed that you’ve never cleaned your dishwasher before, you’re not alone: while cleaning inside your appliances is an important step to keep them working their best, only 25% of Canadians have cleaned inside their dishwashers in the last 12 months. 

(Some? NEVER. *Bows head*)

Here’s why you’ll love affresh Dishwasher Cleaner:

1. Dishwashers have A LOT of hidden places, and you have no idea what’s lurking in there! Affresh works to effectively break down and remove mineral build up that’s inside your machine, and gets into those hard-to-reach parts like the heating element and sprayer arms.

2. If you’ve been feeling like your dishwasher is getting a little funky, it’s time for a thorough cleaning. The offensive smell normally comes from bacteria that feed on trapped food and grease in the strainer screen at the bottom of the machine or along the bottom edge of the door. Start by cleaning and rinsing out the screen (you may be surprised at what you find – eww) and finish with a cycle of affresh.

3. It’s super convenient to use, so there’s no excuse! You can even use it when your dishwasher is full, because the specially-formulated tablet is designed so it’s safe to use with dishware. Simply place one tablet in the bottom of the dishwasher tub. In an empty dishwasher, just place one tablet in the main detergent tray and run a normal cycle.

This spring, make cleaning your dishwasher one of your “must do” items, and try affresh Dishwasher Cleaner – it may soon become one of your “must have” products!

Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner is available at Walmart Canada and other major retailers across Canada.

Tell me: When was the last time you cleaned your dishwasher?
