Question 1

DO TABLETS WORK THE SAME AS GRANDULAR AFFRESH?

Accepted Answer

I think Tide worked better than any other product for me.  I used 4 different kinds of cleaners but Tide seems to keep the smell away and I use it at least once a month and clean the rubber around the front of the washer with vinegar and hot water.  I have to say I am disappointed in my front load washer.  I was so excited to finally get one and now I will be so excited when I can get rid of it!

Question 2

Does it have a smell (like bleach) that's bad for babies ?

Accepted Answer

I does NOT smell like bleach, however, it does have a very strong, clean smell, almost like an industrial clean. This is fine for me because I want my machine clean. This item has been the #1 product to deal with any kind of smell coming from a front load washer. I would suggest running a rinse cycle after to dilute the scent left behind and get rid of any possible residual cleaning debris. Leave the door open afterward and the smell will dissipate after a few days, the drum will remain smelling clean without any moldy or mildew odor. The product works. Those complaining just don't want to wait a bit to use the machine again or run a rinse cycle after, which is fine, that's their preference. I have used many machine cleaning products, none work like this and the ones with pretty scents leave a film all over the machine and cause more mold to accumulate.

Question 3

Am I getting the original Tide 5-packs box package? or it's just loose pack of 5?

Accepted Answer

Loose packed.  But, but it is the same Tide product as the 3-pack box.

Question 4

does it work on top loading machines

Accepted Answer

I have a front loading machine and it works quite well.  I would imagine that it would work the same for a top loading machine.
