Clorox FreshGuard Laundry Odor Remover - Clean Linen - 80 fl oz: Bleach-Free, Concentrated Formula, Linen Scent, Spill-Resistant Lid

A: I put in fabric softener with this directly into the same dispenser :) I’ve never had any issues! I normally put in the odor remover first then the fabric softener and it’ll wash it all down

A: I usually add it directly to the wash water and put the fabric softener in the dispenser

A: Curiously I don't see any instruction of the two being together at the same time in the dispenser. Call Clorox at 800-292-2200.

A: I will usually just run another rinse cycle after with just the fabric softener.

A: I pour it directly in the wash water and put the fabric softener in the dispenser

A: I usually add it directly to the wash water and put the fabric softener in the dispenser. Hope this helps

A: NO, according to the manufacturer, Chlorox, YOU CANNOT. To be effective, it must be put in the rinse cycle, ALONE, with no other additives, either by opening the washer and adding it by hand at the start of the rinse cycle, or by putting it in the fabric softener dispenser, by itself, so it will automatically release during the washer's rinse cycle. For all of you who fail to correctly follow the manufacturer's instructions for sanitization, and then even pass your own incorrect instructions to others, you are not sanitizing your wash. You are just fooling yourselves into thinking you have sanitized your laundry. It does not work in the wash cycle!!! Adding it to the wash cycle does not sanitize your clothes. The wash cycle water dilutes the product to the point that it is no longer effective. You might as well just pour it down the drain. If this product worked in the wash cycle, then the instructions would have stated that it is okay to add it to the wash cycle. It only sanitizes in the RINSE cycle, when added by itself with nothing else, where it remains less diluted and therefore still effective at killing germs. Everyone who advises to put in the wash cycle should be ignored. They don't have a clue what they are doing. Their laundry is NOT disinfected and they are just pouring the money they paid for this product right down the drain.

A: I have a top load washer & it locks during the rinse cycle. I have no fabric softener compartment. How can I use this in the washer?

A: Julia, thanks for checking with us. We recommend using it in your fabric softener compartment since you can't add it directly to your rinse cycle. You can also use 4 capfuls of Laundry Sanitizer in 1 gallon of water and submerge and soak items for 15 minutes. Then, rinse thoroughly with clean water or machine wash as directed. Hope this helps!

A: Thanks for your interest in our Laundry Sanitizer. While it's not a cleaner, our Fabric Sanitizer kills 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria that can make clothes and home textiles smell bad. It's perfect for helping remove unpleasant odors, not just covering them up. We hope this helps. Shannon from The Clorox Team

A: Thanks for your loyalty and question about FreshGuard. We’ve decided to no longer register the formula with the EPA as a laundry sanitizer so we can focus on highlighting the odor-control benefit that consumers typically use this product for, and so we can address one of the most frustrating and prevalent laundry problems: odor. Hope this clears things up! Ashlee from The Clorox Team

A: Happy to help, Jessica! We changed the name to focus on one of the most frustrating laundry challenges: tackling and neutralizing the toughest laundry odors the 1st time. The core formula remains the same. Thanks for asking about FreshGuard! Ashlee from The Clorox Team

A: Flush immediately with water for 15 minutes and seek medical help if irritation persists.

A: The product has a crisp Clean Linen scent that keeps laundry smelling fresh beyond wash day.

A: It neutralizes over 100 stubborn odors at the source, providing 4x the odor fighting power compared to detergent alone.

A: Yes, it is safe for all washable fabrics, except for silk and wool, when used as directed.

A: No, it should be added to the fabric softener compartment or directly in the rinse cycle for best results.
