Ideas for Different Wash Schedules:
Please note that these ideas have been effective in the past.
However, the new formula has made a big difference in control.
You will end up using less TechnoFresh® than these suggest.
1/2 to 3/4 capful/ounce per load could be enough now. But, we are leaving the recommended amounts as they were for assured performance.
There has not been a single case where this new formula did not knock out the odor and gasket mold completely when all suggestions on this site are followed.

New Washing Machine
If you are getting a new machine and want to start out under control follow these steps:
Note: These instructions essentially kick start the control process.
Use TechnoFresh® in the first three loads at 3 capfuls per load.
Then use normally as needed.
Explanation:
Since you are going to get detergent film on the plumbing as soon as you use the machine, you should put down a coating that has a high concentration of TechnoFresh® in it.
That would be the most effective way of starting out using the machine.
Even if the machine had been used already, a couple of TechnoFresh® shock treatment flushes, should get you back to a clean enough surface for this to also work.
It seems the contamination level is affected more by idle time rather than loads run.
So try to do this treatment within 2-3 weeks of starting to use the machine.
Machines that are now in use
In most cases, your machine has been in use and has had a long time to get the nasties growing into all the nooks and crannies of the plumbing.
You have to do the complete TechnoFresh® Super Shock Treatment flush procedure to remove the build up of gunk.
After which you will fall into one of the categories below
____________________________________
If you do many loads every week, a couple of loads almost every day:
You should not need to use a lot of TechnoFresh®. Start with a capful in every load until you get the odor under control Then back off to one load twice a week( first load of the day) Note how long it takes for the smell to return. You now know your range of control, increase as necessary
____________________________________
If you do 3 or less loads per week:
The machine will have a long time to sit and get stinky. You may need to add half an ounce of TechnoFresh® to every load for the best chance of success. ____________________________________
If you do more than 3 or 4 loads a week but you do them over 1 or 2 days (with the machine sitting idle for most of the week):
Use TechnoFresh® in the first 2 or 3 loads of the week to get the stuff that grew during the week and then the last 2 loads of the week to suppress growth during the idle time for best chance of success
____________________________________
If the machine sits unused for longer than 7-10 days:
You probably will need to run an empty load with hot water to flush out the water that is in the plumbing before you start doing the laundry.
Use TechnoFresh® in the first 2 or 3 loads of the week to get the stuff that grew during the week and then the last 2 loads of the week to suppress growth during the idle time for best chance of success
Vacations:
A customer suggested that water with TechnoFresh® be added to the machine drum before leaving on vacation. I suggested one ounce in a gallon of water. Add one or two gallons of the mix to the machine drum directly. Close the door. This really should help a lot but no one has given feedback one way or another. So, I can't guarantee this will work. If you try it let me know how it worked....
