The Story:
Many new, High
Efficiency (HE), front loading washing machines develop odors due to mold, mildew and other biological growth on
the internal plumbing. The growth is also the source of diaper rash, jock
itch and other itching problems that seem to come and go for no particular reason. These nasties are also the cause of
smelly wet towels, sour t-shirts and other laundry that smells after being used or worn for a short time. Sometimes
the machine itself smells so bad the entire house is affected.

The Problem:
If you only do a few loads of laundry a week, there are days where the washing machine just sits. The
water that is left standing in the machine has plenty of time to grow mold, mildew, fungus and bacteria slime on
the detergent residue on the plumbing. This is called a biofilm because it is a mixture of a lot of organisms. If a machine
is used a lot, the biofilm does not have much time to grow and can be flushed out before the odors become a problem.
But that does not always happen. If the mold, mildew, fungus and bacteria do not get flushed out, they are transfered
to the laundry and then the odor blooms after it gets damp again.

HE Washers Work" tab above for a more detailed explanation.
The Solution:
If you are having odor problems I suggest you try the basic methods first.
Your machine / detergent / softener combination and your use pattern may allow these simple solutions to be effective
in your situation.
Simple is always better.

But, if you are
blessed with a high tech, high efficiency laundry washer, and the other methods don't work ---
Or, you
just want to be confident that the washing machine mold and mildew contamination is under control ---
You
will need to move up to a better, stronger method........ Just as I needed to.
The
Sales Pitch:
I am a retired, chemical engineer and I created Nu Fresh because none of the
other methods worked for me. I was always forgetting to do the shock treatment. Or, I ran the shock treatment and it did not
work that well. So, I came up with a material combination that did work in my situation. It is easy to use and it keeps
the growth and odor under control continuously.
Now that I have something that works really well, I decided
to offer it on the internets through this web site. (to purchase, click on the button below)
Nu Fresh is unconditionally
guaranteed to work or you get your money back.
See the "Testimonials"
page for more information.
So,
you could take control of your machine contamination as soon as possible if you buy Nu Fresh Now while you are here...I'm
just sayin'...
In any event, you should read all of this site to
understand what you are up against.
(skip Real Problem, Testimonials, and Nerds if you wish, they are interesting
but not essential to solving the problem).
These HE machines work extremely well once you
adjust your use of detergent and softener to the amount actually required by the type of front loading machine you have
and your use pattern.
The Wrap Up:
Nu Fresh is easy and convenient to use. You put a capful of Nu Fresh
into the dispenser on top of your regular detergent.
Usually Nu Fresh is used in every few loads of laundry through
the week to help control odors continuously. The no worries method. Stinky washer problem solved!
You will probably want to try Nu Fresh after
you wash and dry and fold and put away a few loads of laundry ---- only to find out the mildew smell returned the first time
you use a towel or wear a t-shirt.
Not only will Nu Fresh clean mildew smell and odor from
a smelly washing machine, you can get mildew smell out of towels and other laundry. Over time, Nu Fresh will remove the
black mold that grows on some door gaskets.
Re-washing is time consuming --be smart.
Nu Fresh will work to keep the odors continuously under control.
