Amazon has 54% off cleaning tablets that ‘extend life of your washing machine’
Amazon Prime Day is here and if you are looking to top-up household supplies, the online retailer has dropped the price of a cleaning tablet that shoppers say helps to “extend the life of your washing machine”.
The Calgon 4-in-1 Washing Machine Cleaner and Water Softener Tablets works to remove limescale, residue dirt, rust and odours while giving the machine a deep clean. A box of 75 tablets would have cost you £28 but as part of today’s Amazon Prime Day deal, shoppers can get it for £12.79.
The fast-acting tablets boost the efficiency of your washer by breaking down the limescale, then remove the dirt and residue left by detergents and the large packet is more affordable than the supermarket options.
One shopper living in Thames Valley, where he said limescale is a huge problem, bought the Calgon tablets and shared: “I’ve used the 3-in-1 previously and noticed th washing machine would start to smell, since then always I’ve left the door open after a wash and switched to these. The mildew smell has now gone and the washing machine still does a good job after six years.”
Another commented: “Fantastic stuff, pop one in the drawer, one in the drum and they have extended the life of my washing machine, no more gunky smell when I open the door and washing smells of the washing powder…result!”
For others who have not invested in a water softener system found the tablets helpful, with one penning: “These tablets are amazing and great for when a water softener is not available.”
To use, simply add a Calgon tablet to each wash into the detergent section of your washing machine with your laundry in addition to your usual laundry detergent. You can now get a box of 75 tablets on Amazon for £12.79. While promotions are mainly for members, non-Prime customers can sign up for a free 30-day trial here to enjoy the discounts and free delivery.
But some customers said they failed to see a difference, with one adding: “The tablets don’t dissolve very well in the drawer so don’t think I will be buying it again, unless I’m doing something wrong.”
Another said: “These were cheaper then what I could find in the supermarket so I got a box. We live in a hard water area so these are a must. They work well but some of the individual tablets were completely crushed in the box and some of the tablets were broken quite badly. Not sure how as there was no damage to the box.”
Robert Dyas is selling HG Service Engineer for washing machines and dishwashers, £8.75, a packet of cleaning solution developed in cooperation with specialist engineers to tackle tough limescale in washing machines and dishwashers.
You can also get a Washing Machine Cleaner from Ocado for £2.65, which comes in a 250ml bottle.
