The Claims:
TechnoFresh® is an improved formula of NuFresh laundry washer sanitizer / deodorizer that has been sold since Jan 2008. #1 As with NuFresh, TechnoFresh® is guaranteed to get rid of the odor problems in the HE laundry washer or you get your money back. After you get control, you will be able to leave the laundry in the machine overnight without odor problems.
#2 But, unlike other products, TechnoFresh® will clean and disinfect the slimy black mold on the door gasket too! TechnoFresh® will also keep it from coming back.
#3 Plus, using TechnoFresh® will control the mystery black spots or smudges on dark clothes.
TechnoFresh® is easy and convenient to use. You put it directly into the drum before adding the laundry or you can add a capful of TechnoFresh® into the dispenser on top of your regular detergent if you wish to sanitize the entire system
No matter what you have tried in the past, you really should use TechnoFresh® at least once before you buy a new machine or replace the door gasket because you cannot get the smell or mold to go away. TechnoFresh® has saved a lot of people the cost of a new washer or door gasket replacement over the years.
A lot of people find that shocks (of any kind) are not necessary anymore because the TechnoFresh® keeps control continuously. Also, a lot of people find they do not need to keep the door open or to wipe off the door gasket. All that aggravating stuff goes away.
The Story :
Many new, High Efficiency (HE), front loading clothes washing machines develop odors due to black mold, fungus, mildew and bacteria slime on the internal plumbing and door gasket. The growth is the source of diaper rash, jock itch and other itching problems that seem to come and go for no particular reason. These nasties are also the cause of smelly wet towels, sour T-shirts and other clothes that smell after being used or worn for a short time. Sometimes the machine itself smells so bad the entire house is affected.
If you only do a few loads of laundry a week, there are days where the washing machine just sits. The water that is left standing in the machine has plenty of time to grow black mold, mildew, fungus and bacteria slime on the detergent residue left on the plumbing. This is called a biofilm because it is a mixture of a lot of organisms. If a machine is used a lot, the biofilm does not have much time to grow and can be flushed out before the odors become a problem. But that does not always happen. If the organisms do not get flushed out, they are transferred to your laundry and then the odor blooms after the laundry gets damp again with sweat or just humidity.
Some people have machines that smell and others have clothes that smell. In either case, there are nasties of some kind in the machine that are getting transferred to the laundry. The odor just shows up in different locations. It is also very common for the gasket to have a range of mold problems while the machine does not have odor issues. Every case is unique.
The Problem:
Until TechnoFresh® came along, the only method of controlling laundry odor and rashes caused by the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria slime in the washing machine were monthly shock treatments of various kinds. The shock treatments often fail to remove all the biofilm growth and detergent build up in the machine. This failure to completely clean the machine allows biofilm growth and odor to come back quickly after a shock treatment.
The growth return is exponential through time. The shock treatment may (seem to) clean the machine to start. The smell goes away. For about 7- 10 days or so, the smell is gone from the machine and laundry. Success! For the next 7-10 days or so, the laundry starts to smell a little. The next 7-10 days the mold, mildew and bacteria slime are back and the machine smells and the laundry is back to to smelling like mildew. A week or so after that you get knocked back on your butt when you open the door. (No, really, I once was hit with a blast so foul I jumped back by reflex and almost crushed the dog. That is when the need for something that actually worked to control odor occurred to me)
The problem is that the growth explodes in the last part of the month. So, it can be difficult to time the next shock treatment. How infested the machine and laundry get through the month depends on how well you time the shock treatments. Even if you time things well, you still are getting some mold and mildew residue on clothes, sheets and diapers all through the month. Some loads have more mold and fungus residue on them than other loads. That is why the problem seems to come and go in a random manner for no reason. Random rashes and itching are very common. You're not crazy. It is really happening!
You can run shock treatments every week or two to try to stay ahead of the growth curve. But, that is a lot of trouble and can get expensive. And, you have to remember to do it.
TechnoFresh® is different. It sanitizes and removes the odor from any laundry load in which it is used. Then it continuously suppresses growth in the machine during the period of time between wash days. It does this because some of the material remains trapped in the biofilm and creates a toxic surface (at at bacteria, fungus and mold sizes) . Continued use as needed refreshes the TechnoFresh® content in the detergent film coating the plumbing. The biofilm is under control and the odor does not come back. It is the simple solution. It may be possible that you will only need to shock / clean the machine once a year if you follow the directions on this site.
Remember: You must continue to use detergent and other additives or pretreatments that you are currently using to get the cleaning effect of the enzymes and other trick cleaning chemicals. But you must never use more than two TABLESPOONFUL of any liquid detergent or more than a one OUNCE scoop of powder detergent. The very limited amount of water used in HE machines requires a minimum amount of detergent. Hint for liquids: Use only enough to cover the bottom of the measuring cup cap from the detergent bottle. The marks on the cap are there to get you to use a lot of their detergent.
A very little amount of water, a very little amount of detergent , and a very, very little amount of TechnoFresh® should end up returning washday to a sure thing again.

The Sales Pitch:
I am a retired chemical engineer that has spent more than 35 years supporting cleaning processes of all kinds. I created TechnoFresh because none of the other methods worked for me. I was always forgetting to do the shock treatment. Or, I ran the shock treatment and it did not work that well. So, I came up with a material combination that did work in my situation. It is easy to use and it keeps the biofilm growth and odor under control continuously.
Now that I have something that works really well, I decided to offer it on the internets through this web site. I also decided to apply for a patent. Because... well... it pretty much always works.
That is why TechnoFresh® is unconditionally guaranteed to work or you get your money back.
The Options:
If you are having odor problems you may want to try the basic shock treatment methods first. We try to explain how all the different shock treatment methods work so you can make an informed choice. A lot of times these methods do not work all that well.
But, we also believe we have--
The Best Answer:
If you are blessed with a high tech, high efficiency, high cost clothes washer, and the other methods don't work ---
Or, you just want to be confident that the black mold and biofilm contamination is under continuous control ---
You will need to move up to a better, more effective method.... Just as I needed to.
That better, more effective method is TechnoFresh®
TechnoFresh® works in a completely different manner from the shock cleaning methods
Shock cleaning can work
TechnoFresh® is Guaranteed to work.
The Wrap Up:
TechnoFresh® is easy and convenient to use. You put a capful of TechnoFresh® directly into the drum before adding the laundry.
Thats it...
Usually TechnoFresh® is used in one or two loads every few laundry days through the week to help control odors continuously. It is better to use a little TechnoFresh® in a lot of loads than a lot of TechnoFresh® in a few loads. TechnoFresh® will work in any machine, at any water temperature, with any brand or type of detergent, and any fabric. It rinses out cleanly and leaves no residue on the laundry.
I think you will probably want to try TechnoFresh® after you wash, and dry, and fold, and put away, a few loads of laundry ---- only to find out the mildew smell returned the first time you use a towel or wear a T-shirt because your regular shock treatment failed you.
Stop wondering if the laundry load will smell this time. Rewashing is time consuming --be smart.
