User questions & answers

Question:	Is this product safe to use with septic systems
Answer:	Very Safe. The polypropylene nylon does not scratch those services.
Question:	Which chemical does it use? Is it citric acid
Answer:	I've cleaned most of my tile throughout three rooms in my house with this and had no damage whatsoever - using both light and heavy pressure depending on how hard the stain was I was trying to get out. I did have to hold the brush/drill at an angle to really get into the grout but it's done a great job so far with no problems.
Question:	How is this better than a tablespoon of bleach
Answer:	Used it on tile, it worked great and didn’t scratch. Not sure about glass.
Question:	I don't have an odor in my dishwasher, but it doesn't clean dishes properly anymore. Would this help renew the efficiency
Answer:	It's smaller than 3/8". There should be tech specs in the product data.

User questions & answers

Question:	I put this in dishwasher two hours ago on hottest cycle and it is still running. Is that normal
Answer:	It depends on your dishwasher and factors such as the incoming water temperature and cycle selected. If the incoming water is not 140 F, your dishwasher will take longer to complete the cycle since the dishwasher will pause the timer till the heater in the dishwasher brings the temperature to the adequate temperature. Be patient it should not take too much longer, unless there is an issue with the heater/heating element. If you begin to wash the dishwasher regularly the calcium build up on the heating element will disappear. Hope this helps.
Question:	Is this a one time use bottle
Answer:	Yes - you pull off the sticker covering the wax seal, put into the dishwasher upside down, and run on the hottest and longest cycle. It works really well and left my dishwasher sparkling. I have this on monthly subscribe & save so I save 15% and it reminds me to use it monthly.
Question:	Is this product safe for septic tanks
Answer:	yes
Question:	Should any liquid remain in bottle after running cycle? After following directions (sticker off/hot cycle), bottle was full/residue remained. Tips
Answer:	You need to run the hot water in the kitchen sink to purge the cold water out of the lines before starting the dishwasher. This ensures that only hot water is going into your dishwasher. Newer models do not heat up the water and rely on the water already being hot when it enters the dishwasher. COnsidering I have to run my water for over 3 minutes to get hot water at my kitchen sink, and the fill cycle on my dishwasher doesn't even last 1 minute, there will be no hot water in my dishwasher if I did not purge it of the cold water first. I am an appliance repair tech and this comes straight from manufacturers. This is the same as when you do dishes as well. Always purge the cold water from the hot water lines BEFORE starting the dishwasher. It ensures that all the water entering the dishwasher is at least 125 degrees (depending on temp setting on the water heater).

User questions & answers

Question:	Are they septic safe
Answer:	"Septic safe" on the box means it won't corrode pipes and concrete (tank). That misses the essential element, will it disturb the ecology of the tank (kill the bacteria that are essential for septic operation). Caustic materials like drain cleaner are very bad for your septic, bleach not so bad probably because of the dilution in the washer. I am relating here the information conveyed to me by my county department of licenses and inspection septic system expert and a licensed septic inspector. So the anlswer depends on the materials used, which are not stated anywhere. 7 months is not sufficient time to evaluate. You don't want to learn after three years that you've poisoned the system and clogged the drainage field, requiring a $8,000 to $10,000 job to replace something that should have lasted 40 years. Here's what's in it according to the safety data sheet supplied by Whirlpool via Home Depot: Polyoxy(methyl-1,2-ethanediyl), a-hydro-w-hydroxy- 1% Sodium Carbonate Peroxyhydrate 50% - 70% Boric Acid 20% - 30% Sodium Carbonate 20% - 30% Tetrasodium EDTA 1% Most of these are found in everyday laundry detergent. Tetrasodium EDTA is a preservative. The long weird name stuff is the joker in the mix, perhaps more research is needed. I'm not sure I will risk using this in my washer, as I try to take good care of my septic system. If you want to see the Safety Data Sheet here is the URL of what I found: https://www.homedepot.com/catalog/pdfImages/77/77b170cd-d0cb-4d54-ba53-31603d08bdec.pdf
Question:	Is this product okay for HE washers
Answer:	Since I have a Maytag HE washer and have used this product with excellent success. I would say yes. When the tablet is first placed in the tub and the spinning part of the maintenance cycle starts you will hear a bit of clucking around but no damage is done just a bit noisy. here is a PDF I found on HE washers that may answer questions that might arise. http://www.cleaninginstitute.org/assets/1/Page/HE.pdfMy Maytag has a shiny steel looking interior, when it starts to look dull or gritty I use the Affresh tablet. I do not use HE laundry soap just a lot less than I used to of regular liquid detergent. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Question:	Does this package include the wipes which are hard to find
Answer:	Hello Sandi, I work for Whirlpool Corporation. This particular item does not come with the Wipes. The Wipes you are referring to came with a bonus Affresh Washer Cleaner that we had in market sometime ago. We have recently introduced a new product, Affresh Machine Cleaning Wipes, ASIN B01BHUSR38 (Affresh W10355053 Machine Cleaning Wipes - 24 Wipes). Thank you!
Question:	Does this product have a fragrance? Any harsh chemicals
Answer:	I am very sensitive to fragrances, but this product does not bother my eyes or skin. I have used monthly in an empty front loading HE washer for 7 months. The washer smells fresh & clean, but not objectionable at all. I highly recommend this product.
