**WINNER**
The winner is Dawn!
You guys may remember that I was picked to be a Frigidaire Test Drive Mom courtesy of Mom Central. I was given all new appliances including a new HE Washer and Dryer! I am still absolutely in love with it! That is why I want to make sure I take care of it and keep it in tip top condition so that I can help prolong the life of them.
Tide Washing Machine Cleaner
If you own an HE Washer and Dryer you will know that if you don't let the washer air dry enough between washes it can cause a not so pleasant odor! It's a very common problem. Because you use less water in these machines, odor causing residue can build up in unseen places like the back of the drum,hose or drain. Tide has come out with a new Tide Washing Machine Cleaner that will help remove that odor. You use it about once a month.It helps keep the odor from transferring over to your clothes as well. Tide Washing Machine Cleaner can also be use in traditional machines as well.
To use Tide Washing Machine Cleaner follow these easy steps:
- Place one pre-measured packet of powder into the powder dispenser of your HE machine
- Run a cycle on hot without clothing
- Repeat this process each month to ensure your machine is residue free and performing at its best
With today's economy consumers can't afford not to take care of the items they already own! Tide is going to make that very easy for one lucky ConsumerQueen.com Reader ! One lucky reader is going to win a Year's Supply of Tide Washing Machine to help keep there washer in tip top shape!
To Enter:
Would love to know how many of you out their have an HE machine vs. a traditional machine. Do you find that odor is a problem?

I have toploading Fisher Paykel machine that operates like an HE machine and has similar build-up issues and specifically requires the use of HE appropriate soaps and detergents.
I find that odor is occasionally a problem, and have struggled with build-up of a greyish-colored gunk that re-deposits on the clothing from time to time.

I have an HE front loader and I don’t have a problem with any smell. I do keep the door open when the washer is not in use though.

I have a HE machine and I let it air out between washings and it has a button to clean the machine with bleach so I run that once a month.

I had an HE washer, but had terrible problems with it’s electrical panel. I am now using a traditonal washer and have no problems with it and there are no odors.

I have an HE and haven’t noticed any odor as of yet.

I am lucky enough to have a front loader pair and yes, if you do not leave the washer door open the funk will take over. That’s the only downfall other than the length of time it takes to was a load.
I actually love to do laundry now. I like to sit and watch the washer sometimes, lol.
