When you think of germ hotspots in your home, your mind probably jumps to the toilet, trash can, or kitchen sink. But there’s a stealthy offender that often goes unnoticed: your washing machine. Yes, the appliance responsible for cleaning your clothes can harbor more bacteria than you think. Fortunately, you can fix the problem while you do laundry with Clean Habits® Pre + Probiotic Laundry Detergent + Washing Machine Cleaner.

Designed in nature and perfected by science, our products are backed by extensive research and formulated to deliver a longer-lasting, deeper clean that’s safe for people, pets, and the planet.
The Surprising Truth About Washing Machines
Washing machines are warm, damp, and often full of leftover organic matter from dirty clothes. This is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, mold, and mildew. Studies have shown that certain areas of the washing machine, like the detergent drawer, rubber door seals, and drum, can contain high concentrations of harmful microbes.
Each load of laundry can leave behind body oils, sweat, skin cells, and even fecal bacteria, especially in low-temperature washes. Add in the buildup of detergent and fabric softeners, and you’ve got a recipe for grime and odor over time.
Why Traditional Detergents Fall Short
Traditional detergents can remove visible dirt and freshen fabrics, but their job is over once the rinse cycle ends. They do nothing to clean the washing machine itself, which means bacteria and residue continue to accumulate.
Worse, some conventional detergents contain harsh chemicals or synthetic fragrances that mask smells temporarily but do little to solve the underlying microbial imbalance. Over time, this buildup can lead to smelly laundry, poor performance, and even mechanical issues.
Clean Habits to the Rescue: A 2-in-1 Solution
Clean Habits Pre + Probiotic Laundry Detergent + Washing Machine Cleaner is designed to do more than just clean clothes. It harnesses patented HEIQ Synbio Technology—a powerful blend of prebiotics and probiotics—to actively clean your washer with every cycle.
As your clothes get cleaner, beneficial bacteria coat the inside of your machine, breaking down grime, biofilm, and odor-causing residue. This pre- and probiotic layer keeps working for up to five days, helping to restore balance and freshness naturally.
