How to use

3. Hottest cycle or "Clean Washer".
4. Wipe the door seal.
It was never you
Your washer looks clean. The water path isn't.
You wash a load, open the door, and the towels smell like the dog again. You've run vinegar, left the door open overnight, bought the monthly tablet at the store. Two weeks later you're back where you started.
Researchers who pulled the film out of home washers mapped fifteen places it settles. Fourteen sit on the path the water takes. The fifteenth is the fold of your door seal, and water doesn't rinse it.
How it works
Hot water carries it where you can't reach.
Drop one tablet into the empty drum and run a hot cycle. As it dissolves, the water carries it through the drum, the tub, the pump and the hoses. What lets go leaves with the water.
Then do the one thing a tablet can't: pull back the fold of your door seal and wipe it.

What builds up
What builds up in a pet home's washer
Residue
Detergent and body oil leave a film on the parts the water runs through. The tablet works on it during a hot, empty cycle.
Pet hair
Fur sticks to that film. The tablet helps it let go so it rinses away. It won't dissolve it. Nothing does.
Musty smell
That smell usually lives in buildup that stays damp. Clear the buildup on a schedule and there's less for it to live in.
Door seal
The fold of a front-loader's seal is a pocket the water never rinses. Pull it back and wipe it after every clean cycle.
Lint
Lint and fur collect together on the drum and in the tub. A clean cycle every 14 days keeps them from piling up.
Softener
Fabric softener coats the inside of your washer the way it coats your towels. It's part of the film the tablet goes after.

Common questions
Still have questions?
How to use it, how often, and what it won't do.
Didn't find yours? Email us →How do I use it?
Empty the drum. Put one tablet directly in the drum, never in the detergent drawer. Run your washer's hottest cycle or its "Clean Washer" cycle, with no clothes and no detergent. Then wipe the door seal and the drum.
How often?
Every 14 days in a home with shedding pets. When there's fur in every load, the film builds back faster than a once-a-month schedule assumes.
Does it dissolve pet hair?
No. Nothing made for a washer does. It helps loosen the hair that's stuck to residue so it can leave with the water.
Will one cycle fix an old smell?
Probably not. Years of pet loads don't come out in one go. Run two cycles back to back the first time; the first one may bring up more than you expect, so wipe it out. Then keep the 14-day rhythm.
Do I need detergent too?
No. Run the tablet on its own, in an empty drum.
Will it work with my washer?
We're waiting on our manufacturer's full compatibility sheet. Until we have it in writing, we won't list washer types here. Email us your model and we'll give you a straight answer.
What if my door seal is already black?
If it's cracked or black all the way through, a tablet won't bring it back. That's a part to replace, and we'd rather tell you now.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. If it doesn't make a difference you can see, email us and we'll refund you. One email, one human, no photo, no form.
