I tried the BLITZ Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets because my washer had started developing an unpleasant smell and some visible residue around the drum and gasket. After running a cleaning cycle, the machine smelled noticeably fresher and looked much cleaner.

  1. Empty the drumTake out any laundry. Nothing else goes in.
  2. Drop in a tabletStraight into the drum, not the detergent drawer.

  4. Wipe the gasketPull back the rubber seal and wipe. Leave the door open to dry.

Between cleans: leave the door or lid open after each wash so the drum can dry.

1 Drum, hoses and pumpTablets clean this
2 The rubber gasketGel clings here
3 The drain filterRinse by hand

Tablets clean the drum. The gel handles the gasket.

Washer smell hides in three places, and tablets only reach one.

  • 1 Drum, hoses and pump.

    One tablet every two weeks on a hot cycle clears residue and odour.

  • 2 The rubber gasket.

    Mould grows in the folds of the seal. Mold Stain Remover gel stays in place on it.

  • 3 The drain filter.

    Front loaders have one near the bottom. Open it, rinse it, close it.

For the gasket: the gel clings where tablets can't reach.

Vinegar isn't made for your washer.

Vinegar can loosen light scale, but it isn't made for detergent residue.

Questions, answered

Does it work in front-load, top-load and HE washers?

Yes. BLITZ Washing Machine Cleaner works in front-load, top-load and high-efficiency (HE) washers, with stainless steel or porcelain drums. In a top loader, run the hottest, largest load so the water reaches the rim.

Where do you put washing machine cleaner tablets?

Put the BLITZ tablet straight into the empty drum, not the detergent drawer.

  1. Take out any laundry.
  2. Drop one tablet into the drum.
  3. Run the hottest cycle, or "Tub Clean" if your washer has it. In a top loader, pick the largest load.
  4. Wipe the gasket or the rim and leave the door open to dry.

How often should you clean your washing machine?

Clean your washing machine every two weeks with one BLITZ tablet.

  • Regular care: every two weeks.
  • Pets, heavy loads or odours coming back: keep to every two weeks without skipping.
  • Heavy buildup: the first time, run two cycles back to back, with a new tablet each time.

A box of 24 tablets is a 1-year supply and works out to about $1 a clean.

Why does my washing machine still smell after cleaning?

A washer that still smells after a cleaning cycle usually has a problem where tablets don't reach:

  • The rubber gasket: mould grows in its folds. Use Mold Stain Remover gel on it.
  • The drain filter: open it and rinse it by hand.

Read the full guide

Can you use vinegar to clean a washing machine?

Vinegar can loosen light scale in a washer, but it isn't made for detergent residue, and your laundry room ends up smelling like vinegar. A BLITZ tablet is made to break down detergent residue, grime and mineral deposits in one cycle, with nothing to measure.

Read the full guide

Can I use the tablets and Mold Stain Remover together?

Yes, one after the other, never at the same time. To use BLITZ tablets and Mold Stain Remover together:

  1. Run the tablet cycle and let the washer drain.
  2. Apply the gel to the gasket.
  3. Leave it 3 to 5 hours.
  4. Wipe it off with a damp cloth.

  • These BLITZ Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets worked really well in my washing machine. I used one tablet for a deep cleaning cycle, and afterward the washer drum and gasket looked much cleaner and smelled fresh. I especially like that the tablets are designed to help remove limescale, detergent buildup, residue, and odors from areas that are normally difficult to clean. They’re easy to use and work with both HE front-load and top-load washing machines. The 24-pack is also convenient because it provides a long-term supply for regular washer maintenance. A simple way to keep the washing machine clean, fresh, and well maintained.

  • I’ve been using these tablets for regular washing machine maintenance, and they’ve worked well for keeping the washer clean and fresh. They were especially helpful with odors, and I noticed the unpleasant smell was gone after cleaning. The tablets are simple to use and convenient to keep on hand for routine maintenance. I wouldn’t rely on them for heavy buildup or a deep cleaning job, but they’ve worked well for regular cleaning and freshening the drum and gasket. The 24-pack is also convenient for ongoing use. Overall, they’ve been a useful option for keeping our washing machine fresh between regular cleanings.

  • Great product! Good quality, works as expected, and I’m very happy with my purchase. Highly recommended!

  • Front-load washers are notorious for trapping moisture, soap scum, and grime behind the drum, which eventually leads to that dreaded sour or musty smell on fresh laundry. I picked up this 24-pack of washing machine cleaner tablets to stay on top of regular maintenance, and it makes a noticeable difference. • Deep Clean & Odour Removal: Dropping a single tablet into an empty tub on a regular cycle effectively breaks down built-in detergent residue and eliminates trapped odours, leaving the drum smelling genuinely fresh. • Pro Tip for Front-Loaders: To ensure no leftover foam or residue stays behind in the door seal or drum grooves, run a quick extra rinse cycle right after the main cleaning run. • Unbeatable Value: With 24 tablets in the box and a recommended maintenance schedule of once a month, a single pack provides a full two years of upkeep. If you want to prevent moldy smells, extend the life of your washer, and keep your clothes smelling clean, this is a hassle-free, cost-effective solution.

  • I tried the BLITZ Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets because my washer had started developing an unpleasant smell and some visible residue around the drum and gasket. After running a cleaning cycle, the machine smelled noticeably fresher and looked much cleaner. The tablets are very easy to use. I just put one directly into the empty washer drum and ran a hot cycle. I like that they help with detergent residue, hard water buildup and limescale without having to deal with liquid cleaners or powders. The price seemed a little high at first, but with 24 tablets in the package and enough for long-term washing machine maintenance, I think the value is actually pretty good. Overall, a convenient washing machine cleaner and descaler for keeping the drum, gasket and internal parts fresh and clean. I would buy it again.

  • Cleans top-loaders well! I was a bit skeptical because although the listing says it's suitable, the instructions and pictures only show front loaders. My washing machine doesn't have an agitator, and the drum itself is quite clean, but there's always a small amount of odour (not my clothes thankfully). I keep the lid open for at least 24 hours after every load so it dries, but it's not possible to clean without products like this. I put two tablets in on pre-soak, hot, highest water level (top loads always need more cleaner since it's more water). After this cycle, I could smell the cleaning agents. I did another rinse + spin cycle, and the smell disappeared and the drum looks shinier and the smell I usually notice is gone. Because I have two use two tablets, this $25 pack of tablets will last me half a year if I clean every month. I'm planning on cleaning once very 2 months though, since I live by myself so I don't use my washing machine as much as a normal family.
