Affresh for front loaders - best price?

[mickminmom]

Where do you buy these cheaply? We got our initial package from the appliance store but I wondered if anyone has found a good place to get a deal!

Thanks!

I have purchased from Lowes B&M in the past, but now I use cascade powder in my washer instead of affresh.

Oh! I never thought of using cascade powder in the washer. Does it work just as well? That would save some money since I believe the allfresh tablets are about 8 or 9 dollars. I know tide also makes tablets for your washer also but they are about the same price.

I've only had my front loader for 15 days, so I can't comment too much about a cleaner, but I have read some reviews on Amazon about this stuff:

I was looking because the salesman told me he didn't love the results from Affresh.

I haven't found them anywhere for a deal; but the main thing I've found is that if I leave my door open when I'm not washing there's no weird smell.

I've had good luck with plain vinegar so far.

we would have an odd smell in our washer until switching to charlie's soap.

but i did last week just buy some affresh at walmart, i don't remember the price though.

I just had the front loader for 4 weeks so I'm not sure if I need Affresh. But I've read that if I leave the washer door open (when the washings are done), it would stop the mildew problem which causes odor. So far, I think it's working.

I use Charlies and my front loader is minty fresh! Never used affrresh

We use charlie's soap, and as long as we keep the door open between loads, no icky smell. But DH sometimes forgets and closes it, or a load sits too long, and now it's kinda stinky. I picked up some of the tide washing machine cleaner at target and I'm hoping that'll take care of it.
