Washing Machine Magic all right – Magic all right! This product I rate as number 1 as it does exactly what it said, on my last Bowl clean which I average every 3 months, it got rid of the brown flakes that I was getting on my white sheets. Made not only my washing machine smell amazing but the whole laundry, loving the strong pleasant fragrance & hope it doesn’t change! Show details

Works well no more mouldy smell in my washing machine – Worked well with my cold water washing machine but used 2 packets. Reasonably priced and says better for the environment. Oh and got my two on special at woolies. Tky Magic Elsie Show details

Ruined my machine – Used as per instructions on both the tub & my FL machine. It made my shiny stainless steel drum turn cloudy with look disgusting. Instead of cleaning my machine, this stuff has ruined it. Show details

Disappointment – Magic Anti0-bacterial washing machine cleaner used for the first time and it put black streaks on white washing only two washes after using it. I don't intend to ever use it again and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Show details

It's great – I bought this and it's been great. Cleans and washes really well and will continue to use it in future. Yay finally a brand to use. But costly but that's ok. Show details

Handy product to have – I went from a top loader to a Fisher and Paykel front loader washing machine purchased new and noticed a mildew smell in the clothes. Regularly washed mechanic's work clothes ergo motor oil, grease, grime and dog's bedding as well as everyday clothes (with Vanish Gold Oxi Action/ Vanish pink powder) when I washed these above items I used the… Read more

Washing Machine Magic, on 60 degrees setting. I used it more than x1 per month, more like once every 2 weeks. Pro's: the doggy/oily smell was replaced with a bubble gum scent. The interior was shiny, I simply wiped out the few dog hairs which were in the rubber on the door, no grease. Very few hairs in the pipe. So overall it cleans well. There are other cleaners that do the same thing, can't compare as haven't tried them - I'm happy with this product so I'll stick with it. Con's: the price, almost $10 it adds up, so when it's on special I stock up.

Love this product – I have been using this product for a few years on all my washing machines. Just pop it in and turn on. Set and forget. Leaves your machine looking and smelling fresh. Show details

Didn't work for me! – Have a Fisher & Paykel top loader washing machine with a build up of scum from day to day washing and softener. Used this product as directed but didn't at all meet my expectations of removing the build up. Show details

Cleaned it up a little but not “Magical” – I don’t wash any really dirty clothes but dome clothes were not smelling really clean after washing so I decided to try cleaning the machine. It is a LG 6kg top loader with stainless steel drum. I used the product as directed and the water coming out was grey in colour so it was getting done grime out. However when I checked the machine after use… Read more

there was a lot of sludge and dirt left. The product did not totally clean the machine. I had to hand scrub it. I would give it a 5 out of 10.

Wrecked my machine! – BEWARE!!! Bought this to clean my machine, as I only use my machines 'tub clean' cycle. My lint filters have grime I've tried several things to clean, this also failed. I have a stainless steel drum, so assumed my machine would be fine (says not to use with an enamel drum and that it can discolour if water is hotter than 60 degrees). Instead my… Read more

$1400 machine has been permanently damaged from this product. Who knows what other unseen damage has been done. Putting that aside, I don't find it any cleaner. I followed the instructions and set to a 60 degree wash on highest water level possible. VERY disappointed is an understatement.

Doesn't do a thing – Started getting marks on my clothes from my 6yo top loader washer, and as there has been nothing particularly dirty being washed over the years, I figured the gunk transfering to the clothes was just general detritus, so bought a tub of the Magic Cleaner, followed the instructions to the letter by using the whole tub in warm water and running a… Read more

complete wash and rinse cycle.

As I was expecting lots of dirty water to be pumped out I collected the wash cycle water and it was a clear as a bell, as was the rinse water, and the filter had nothing in it either. There was just the faintest smell of acid.

I pulled out the water chute, as well as the softener and filter chutes and they were just as grimy as they were before I started, as was the bottom device. That was surprising as I expected that litres of the cleaning solution in water being pumped through these chutes would clean them, but no, I had to use a brush and cloth to clean them after using the Magic Cleaner. I am not prepared to try to dismantle the inner and outer drums to clean them which is why I bought the Magic Cleaner expecting it to do that for me.

I was hoping the "Deep Clean Formulae" would be able to clean parts as the water circulated through them, but I am afraid it was $11 flushed down the laundry tub with nothing to show for the money.

Industrial/Deep Clean version – I know it's time to use this when my washing machine's lint filter stops collecting lint. Once I use this, the lint filter collects big lint loads again, rather than lint remaining on my clothes.

left my machine feeling gritty – I bought this as I noticed a dirty build up inside the machine and thought this product was for cleaning the inside of the machine. I followed the instructions and used both sachets in my top loader - hot long wash - but when I checked it after it was finished, the machine looked no different and I ended up pulling the centre agitator piece out… Read more

and scrubbing it with soapy steel wool to remove the build up. The build up was underneath it and inside and the SS metal drum looked hazy and I had to give that a scrub with the steel wool too. Maybe this only works to clean the pipes and not the drum of the machine at all? I feel like I wasted my money.

Does a reasonable job but not user-friendly – This product does work well to clean the machine, but in comparison to the other brand available is a lot less user-friendly in powder form, as it doesn't allow parts of the machine to be removed and soaked, and doesn't allow the scrubbing of seals and other components that would otherwise be missed. The scent is not particularly pleasant, but it does a good job of removing soap scum and lime scale

Just used – I just used this product as I was having Blake flakes come out in my washing. After reading conflicting internet advice in forums on multiple sites I am unsure if these flakes are black mould as some called it, or fabric softener build up. I just used the magic cleaner on a extra clean cycle on my washing machine, this setting does three rinses of… Read more

the machine after the initial fill up. I did see coming out of the hose during the first rinse some very dirty water, during the second fill up it was visible that the water inside the machiene was still dirty signifying to me that the product indeed loosened up the grime and build up as promised! The next rinse the water was much much clearer again. And at the end when I went to check the filter there was lots of flakes inside.

However I did a wash just after and there was significantly less flakes, which were lighter in colour and less black, but non the less still flakes.

So I'm disappointed it hasn't 100% fixed my problem - I used the industrial strength so I was expecting it to be completely clean and spotless.

It's clear to see the product has worked to a degree, but I'm still having some residual build up, so I'm conflicted as to how I feel about the end result.

I would say this product would be good for cleaning of the machine in general but in terms of my specific issue (mould or softener build up) it is not 100%.

I will see how the next few washes go and hope for the best.

Terrible smell – I decided to use this product not because my washing machine smelt but because I thought it was a good idea to clean it. Now my $2000 machine smells horrid, just like wet carpet. I would not recommend

But… Read more
