Frequently Asked Questions
Will Affresh help me get streak-free glasses without extra effort?
Yes. By clearing limescale and mineral buildup from the spray arms and tub, Affresh restores your dishwasher's rinsing performance so glasses come out clear with no rewashing.
Can I use Affresh to reduce time spent scrubbing my dishwasher?
Yes. The deep-clean tablet dissolves grime, limescale, and odor-causing residue in one cycle, eliminating the need for manual scrubbing of spray arms, filters, or seals.
Will using Affresh help me get dishes clean on the first run, saving time?
Yes. A clean dishwasher with clear spray arms and a descaled heating element performs better, so you avoid the productivity drain of re-running cloudy or dirty loads.
Does Affresh help me stay on a maintenance schedule without tracking it?
Yes. Many homeowners set a recurring monthly reminder to drop in a tablet, and the 6-pack supply covers six months so you always have one ready.
Can I run Affresh overnight to make the most of off-peak hours?
Yes. The tablet is flameless and works entirely inside the dishwasher, so you can run the cycle at night, during work, or whenever your schedule allows.
Is Affresh a smart way to maintain my dishwasher for long-term reliability?
Yes. Routine descaling and bacteria removal helps your dishwasher run efficiently, extending the life of the pump, heating element, and hoses so you avoid costly repairs.
Can I use Affresh to freshen the dishwasher between tenant turnovers in my rental?
Yes. Drop a tablet in during a vacant turnover cycle to reset odors, limescale, and grime before the next tenant arrives.
Does Affresh come in a bulk pack that reduces how often I need to reorder?
Yes. Affresh is available in a 12-count bottle and a 6-pack of 6 tablets, giving you up to a year of maintenance with fewer reorders and a lower cost per use.
Will Affresh help me avoid service calls for my dishwasher?
Yes. Preventive maintenance with Affresh helps reduce the buildup that causes clogs, odors, and poor drainage, which are common reasons for service calls.
Can I use Affresh without unloading the dishes?
Yes. Affresh works with or without a load of dishes, so you can drop in a tablet for a quick freshen-up cycle anytime without disrupting your routine.
Is Affresh a good fit for a busy household with multiple loads a day?
Yes. High-use dishwashers benefit most from monthly Affresh cycles to clear the grime and odor-causing bacteria that build up faster with frequent runs.
Does running Affresh fit into a tight morning or evening schedule?
Yes. It takes only seconds to place the tablet in the detergent tray or bottom of the tub, and the dishwasher handles the rest automatically.
Will Affresh help my dishwasher dry dishes better?
Yes. By descaling the heating element and clearing hard water deposits, Affresh helps restore proper drying performance so you spend less time towel-drying.
Is Affresh a good value for the productivity it adds to my kitchen routine?
Yes. A single tablet costs less than a coffee and saves hours of scrubbing, re-washing, and troubleshooting, making it a high-return maintenance habit.
How do I use Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner?
Remove the tablet from its wrapper, place it in the bottom of the dishwasher tub or detergent dispenser, and run a normal or heavy cycle. You can run it with or without a load of dishes.
How often should I use Affresh?
For best results, use one Affresh tablet once a month as part of routine dishwasher maintenance, or more often if you notice odors, cloudiness, or hard water buildup.
Can I use Affresh with dishes in the dishwasher?
Yes. Affresh is safe to run with or without a load of dishes, so you can drop in a tablet for a quick freshen-up cycle without unloading.
Is Affresh compatible with my dishwasher brand?
Yes. Affresh is safe for all dishwasher makes and models, including stainless steel and plastic tubs, and is recommended by Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, JennAir, and Amana.
Is Affresh safe for septic systems?
Yes. The EPA Safer Choice recognized formula is septic-safe, so routine monthly use will not disrupt your septic tank or drain field.
What is included in the box?
The package contains 6 pre-measured Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner tablets, providing a 6-month supply at standard monthly use. No additional accessories are required.
Will Affresh damage my dishwasher?
No. Affresh is specifically formulated to clean dishwasher internals, including the pump, tub, hoses, and spray arms, without corroding, etching, or dulling surfaces.
Does Affresh really remove odor or just mask it?
Affresh targets and removes odor-causing bacteria, limescale, and grime at the source, so it eliminates odors rather than covering them with fragrance.
What is the difference between Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner and regular dishwasher detergent?
Dishwasher detergent cleans your dishes during a normal load. Affresh is a maintenance cleaner that runs on its own cycle to deep clean the dishwasher itself, including the pump, tub, and hoses that detergent does not reach.
