The Problem:

If you only do a few loads of laundry a week, there are days where the machine just sits. The water that is left standing in the machine has plenty of time to grow mold and mildew. If a machine is used a lot, the mold and mildew can be flushed out before the odors become a problem. But that does not always happen.

See the "How 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.
 

See the "Directions for Deodorizing Washer" tab above for more details.

But, if you are blessed with a high tech, high efficiency laundry system, and the other methods don't work ---

You need to move up to another method........ Just as I needed to.

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

Now that I have something that works, I decided to offer it on the internet through this web page.

I recommend that you try Nu Fresh if other methods do not work.

See the "Real Problem" tab for a "you got to be kidding" case and testimonials.

You put a scoop in with the first load or two each week to help control odors continously.

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.

Re-washing is time consuming --be smart.

Nu Fresh will work to keep the odors continuously under control.
