Blitz makes the best products! These dishwasher cleaner tabs keep my Machine clean and smelling great, so it can properly clean my dishes!

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.

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.

These washing machine cleaner tablets come in a pack of 24, which is intended to be a year's supply. They're individually wrapped double-sided blocks that couldn't be easier to use. All that's required to use one of these is to drop it in the empty washer and run a hot wash cycle. No spin is required so it doesn't take as long as a regular wash. Once the cycle is done, the block has completely disappeared and the machine is left sparkling clean. I was quite pleased with the results of the cleaning tablet. After it was done, the machine was smell-free and clean inside. It's as simple as it gets!

I make it a habit to clean my washing machine every couple of weeks, even though I don't really have issues with hard water, limescale, or heavy buildup where I live. Because of that, I wasn't expecting any dramatic results, but these cleaning tablets seem to do exactly what they're supposed to do. Using them is straightforward. Just drop a tablet into the machine and run the recommended cleaning cycle. There is no measuring, no liquid to pour, and no mess to deal with. That's something I appreciate because it makes regular maintenance quick and easy. After using these tablets, the inside of the washer smells clean and fresh. The scent is noticeable without being overpowering, which I find works well. The drum and gasket also appear clean after the cycle, and the machine feels fresh and ready for the next load of laundry. I use both cleaning products and routine maintenance to help keep appliances in good shape, and these tablets fit nicely into that routine. Since the pack contains enough tablets for many cleaning cycles, it should last quite a while for anyone who cleans their washer on a regular schedule. Overall, this is a simple and convenient product that appears to work well. Even without major limescale issues to deal with, it helps keep the washing machine clean and leaves behind a pleasant smell. For anyone looking for an easy maintenance product for their washer, this is a solid option.

My apartment came with brand new appliances, so I'm actually taking better care of them than I ever did with my old ones. 😂 I got these as part of the regular maintenance routine rather than because I have an old washer with a buildup or odor problem. The 24-pack gives me plenty to keep up with regular cleaning and maintenance throughout the year. For a brand new machine, I'd rather keep it maintained from the start than wait until there's a problem that needs fixing.

These washing machine cleaner tablets are very convenient and easy to use. They make regular cleaning and descaling simple and help remove buildup and unpleasant odors from the washer. I like that they’re suitable for both front-load and top-load machines, and the 24-tablet pack provides a full year of regular cleaning. Overall, a very useful product for keeping the washing machine fresh and clean, and I would definitely buy it again.

These tablets completely refreshed my washing machine. They got rid of that musty smell and cleaned out all the residue around the drum and rubber seal. Simple to use, super effective, and the 24-pack is an amazing value!

These washing machine cleaner tablets are an easy and effective way to keep a washer clean and smelling fresh. The tablets dissolve well during the cleaning cycle and help remove buildup, residue, and lingering odors from the drum and gasket. After using one, the inside of the machine felt noticeably cleaner and fresher. I like that they're compatible with both HE front load and top load washers, making them a versatile choice for different machines. Having a 24-pack is also a great value since it provides a full year's supply when used as recommended. It's convenient not having to measure liquids or deal with messy cleaners—just drop in a tablet and run the cleaning cycle. I gave them 4 stars because heavily soiled machines may require more than one treatment to remove long-standing buildup, and it's important to follow the cleaning instructions for the best results. Overall, these tablets are a simple, low maintenance way to help keep a washing machine clean, reduce odors, and support regular appliance maintenance.

I usuallly put in vinegar Then run a cycle and usually cleans the smell of the washing machine. This tablet seems to do the same, it has a slight 'clean' scent. Visibly, the stainless steel interior seems the same, no difference. I can't say it works better, but I do notice that stains also are cleaned off the steel tub.

With two big dogs in the house, my front-load washer gets a workout. Between their blankets, beds and everything else that ends up covered in fur, I always feel like a regular wash cycle isn’t enough to keep the machine fresh. That’s why I wanted to try these cleaning tablets. The directions are simple. You place one tablet directly into the empty drum and run a hot cleaning cycle, or a regular hot wash if your machine doesn’t have a cleaning program. When the cycle is finished, I run a quick rinse and spin just to make sure there isn’t any residue left behind. The tablet dissolves completely, and there is no strong chemical smell during the process. After the cleaning cycle, the musty smell that sometimes lingers around the rubber gasket is gone, and the inside of the drum looks brighter and cleaner. For regular maintenance, the instructions recommend cleaning the washer once a month, or twice a month for the best results. Since the box includes 24 tablets and you only use one each time, there’s enough for a full year if you follow the twice-monthly schedule. With as much laundry as my washer handles every week, especially dog bedding, I like having these on hand to give the machine a proper clean every month.

At the time of this review, these are $24, which is positioned to be a one-year supply. That's pretty good. The recommendation is to use these cleaning tablets twice a month. I've given it a try over the past month, doing two rounds of this spread out over 2 weeks. And I will start by saying I finally replaced my 15 year old dishwasher with a new one, so I'm eager to keep it in a pristine condition as long as possible. So far, so good. The tablets are easy to use, they come an individually wrapped pouches like some dishwasher detergents do. You just pop one in and run the machine. As I say, my dishwasher is new so I cannot vouch for whether it does a good job of cleaning already stained units, but definitely this has done a good job of rinsing out my relatively new machine. I will continue to use it over the next few months, but for now I can say it is certainly promising. Essentially, it can't hurt, and I will continue to use it throughout the year. I will certainly report back if I find it disappointing overall.

I’ve been trying to stay on top of cleaning my dishwasher, and these tablets made it really easy. You just drop one in and let the cycle run. After using it, my dishwasher smelled much fresher, and the inside looked noticeably cleaner. It’s nice knowing it’s helping remove buildup that you can’t always see, especially if you have hard water. The tablets are individually wrapped, easy to use, and I like that one box lasts a long time. I’ll definitely keep these on hand as part of my regular cleaning routine. Great value and a simple way to help keep your dishwasher performing its best

I’ve been using the BLITZ Dishwasher Cleaner Tablets and I’m very happy with the results. After running a cleaning cycle, my dishwasher smelled noticeably fresher and the interior looked cleaner. It also helped with the hard water buildup and residue that had accumulated over time. The tablets are very easy to use, just place one in an empty dishwasher and run a cycle. I also like the fresh lemon scent, which is noticeable without being overpowering. At first, I thought the product seemed a little pricey, but considering you get 24 dishwasher cleaner tablets and only need to use them periodically for maintenance, I think it offers good value for the quantity. Overall, a convenient dishwasher cleaner and descaler for keeping odors, limescale, hard water and calcium buildup under control. I’ll continue using these as part of my regular dishwasher maintenance.

I make a point of cleaning my dishwasher regularly, mainly to help prevent odors from building up over time. I don't really deal with hard water issues or heavy limescale where I live, so I can't comment much on that side of things. What I was looking for was an easy way to freshen up the machine and keep it clean, and these BLITZ Dishwasher Cleaner Tablets have worked well for that. The tablets are very simple to use. Just place one in the dishwasher and run a cycle with the machine empty. There's no scrubbing, disassembly, or extra work involved, which makes it easy to include as part of regular maintenance. After using one, the inside of the dishwasher felt clean and, more importantly for me, any stale smells were gone. The machine was left with a fresh, clean scent without being overwhelming. That's really the biggest benefit I've noticed from using these tablets. I also like that the package includes 24 tablets, which should last a long time when used as directed for routine cleaning. The product is compatible with a wide range of dishwasher brands, so it should work for most households. Overall, this is a straightforward dishwasher cleaner that does exactly what I need it to do. It helps keep odors under control, leaves the machine smelling fresh, and makes regular dishwasher maintenance quick and hassle-free. For anyone looking for an easy way to keep their dishwasher fresh between deeper cleanings, this is a solid option.

I keep my dishwasher running like new with these easy-to-use cleaner tablets. Compatible with all major dishwasher brands and safe for stainless steel and plastic interiors, they remove limescale, hard water buildup, grease, and hidden grime while helping clean spray arms, filters, and pipes. They also eliminate odors, leaving my dishwasher fresh after every cycle. Just use one tablet a month in an empty dishwasher, no scrubbing needed. The long-lasting supply makes regular maintenance simple and cost-effective. I would recommend.

These dishwasher tablets did a good job of cleaning out the pipes or any leftover residue in my dishwasher. Even though I regularly run a cleaning cycle and clean out the trap, it's noticeably fresher after running a cleaning cycle with one of these tablets.

These dishwasher cleaning tablets are simple to use and do a great job removing buildup, grease, and lingering odors from inside the machine.

This really does clean your dishwasher really well. It got all the grime along the edges and it looked sparkly clean and had a great scent afterwards.
Janelle T. -
These worked out great, they cleaned up the dishwasher really nicely each subsequent time you run them. It will clean it up a little bit more. It’s surprising how dirty the water is when you open it up partway to check on it. It’s really breaking down all the grit and grime that builds up in the dishwasher overtime simply running this once a month really breaks down all that stuff and helps keep the dishwasher looking good inside and subsequently keep your dishes as much cleaner.. 10 out of 10 for these would recommend.
Customer Review -
These dishwasher cleaner tablets make regular maintenance really simple. You just put one tablet in an empty dishwasher and run a normal cycle, with no scrubbing or taking anything apart. They are designed to tackle hard water buildup, limescale, grease and grime, including areas like the spray arms, filters and internal pipes. I like that the package comes with 24 tablets, so it should last quite a while when used for routine cleaning. The lemon scent is also a nice touch for freshening up the dishwasher, and you can use two tablets at once if you are dealing with heavier buildup.

These BLITZ Dishwasher Cleaner Tablets are very convenient and easy to use. They do a great job cleaning away buildup, limescale, and hard-water residue that can accumulate inside the dishwasher. I also noticed a fresher smell after running a cleaning cycle, which is a nice bonus. The tablets are simple to use and the 24-count package provides plenty of cleaning cycles, making it a great value for regular maintenance. Overall, an easy and effective way to keep the dishwasher clean and running well. Definitely recommend!

The tablets dissolve well and help remove grease and buildup from hard-to-reach areas. I’ll definitely keep using them as part of my monthly cleaning routine. Highly recommend!

I usuallly put in vinegar in a bowl (that will tip over) in the bottom rack, and baking soda on the tub. Then run a cycle and usually cleans the smell of the dishwasher. This tablet seems to do the same, it has a slight lemon scent. Visibly, the stainless steel interior seems the same, no difference. I can't say it works better, but I do notice that stains also are cleaned off the steel tub.

I already had a good experience with another BLITZ cleaning product, so I didn't hesitate to try these dishwasher cleaning tablets. My dishwasher wasn't terrible, but it had started to develop a bit of an odor, and there was some buildup around the inside edge of the door that I wanted to clean up. I ran one of these BLITZ cleaner tablets through an empty cycle, and I could tell a difference as soon as I opened the door afterward. The stale smell was gone, the inside looked noticeably cleaner, and even the light buildup I had along the inside edge of the door had mostly disappeared. You simply place one tablet in the detergent compartment, then let the dishwasher run through a normal cycle with nothing inside. There's no scrubbing or extra work involved. The box contains 24 tablets. For regular maintenance, the directions call for one tablet per month, so the box can last up to two years. For heavier buildup, they suggest using two tablets in one cycle. They're compatible with all major dishwasher brands, and they're meant to help clean areas you normally can't reach, like the spray arms, filters, and internal pipes where grease, limescale, and residue can build up over time. After seeing and smelling the difference in my dishwasher, I'll definitely be keeping up with a monthly cleaning cycle.
