Affresh washer cleaner is a tablet used to remove odours, (sodium percarbonate, 2009)
residue, mold, mildew, and generally refresh HE washing machines.
The tablet is placed in the barrel of the washer, which is then set to
run a normal cycle on the hot water setting. When the product is
dissolved in the water, the sodium percarbonate produces water and sodium carbonate (also called
“soda ash”). Sodium percarbonate is a common product used in laundry cleaners because it is an
oxidizing material. (Wikipedia, 2009)
