Consumer Critique: Carbona Washing Machine Cleaner

Parents know that every kid means more laundry. Many people pre-wash clothes to get rid of any residue or to make sure they won't shrink or bleed - but how many people think about pre-washing their washer?

A clean washer works more efficiently. I like the idea of using natural products, and I was happy to review Carbona® Washing Machine Cleaner with Activated Charcoal. Carbona attracts and binds odor-causing residue, dirt, and limescale to make sure your washer is completely clean. Charcoal occurs naturally and is a porous magnet for dirt when activated. 

You can buy Carbona either at the website or at a variety of retail outlets for a suggested value of $3.99.
