How to Use Tide Washer Cleaner Pouches

To use Tide washer cleaner pouches, follow the specific instructions for your type of washing machine, ensuring you use the hot water setting.

Keeping your washing machine clean helps maintain its performance and keeps your laundry fresh. Using a dedicated washer cleaner like Tide's pouch product involves a simple process tailored to your appliance.

Here's a breakdown based on your washing machine type:

Instructions for Different Washer Types

The method for dispensing the cleaner depends on whether you have a front-loading or top-loading washing machine.

• For Front Loaders:

  • Take one pouch of the cleaner.
  • Carefully pour the entire contents of the pouch into your washing machine's detergent dispenser. This is the tray or compartment where you typically add your regular laundry detergent.

• For Top Loaders:

  • Take one pouch of the cleaner.
  • Pour the entire contents of the pouch directly into the washer tub. This means adding the cleaner directly into the drum where you place your clothes (when empty, of course).

Running the Cycle

Once the cleaner is added correctly based on your machine type, proceed with the following steps:

1. Close the washer door or lid.
2. Select the normal cycle setting on your machine.
3. Crucially, ensure the water temperature is set to hot water.
4. Start the washing machine cycle.

This process utilizes the hot water and normal agitation to effectively clean the inside of your washing machine.
