KAO Washing Machine Cleaner — kills mould, bacteria, and odours at the source.
About this product
Japan's most trusted washing machine drum cleaner — KAO Sentaku-so Haiter uses the same chlorine-bleach active that made Haiter Japan's most recognised laundry disinfectant brand, targeted specifically at the invisible mould, bacteria, and biofilm that accumulate inside front-load and top-load washing machine drums. Japanese households are well-aware of the musty, damp odour that transfers from unclean drums to freshly washed laundry — an issue compounded by Japan's humid summers and the prevalence of sealed-drum front-loaders. Sentaku-so Haiter's concentrated formula dissolves in warm water inside the drum, penetrating the gasket seals, detergent drawer channels, and drum perforations where mould growth is heaviest. A single monthly treatment is sufficient for most households, reducing laundry odour transfer and extending the machine's effective life. One of Japan's best-selling household cleaning products, recommended by washing machine manufacturers for drum maintenance.
How to use
- Empty the washing machine completely — ensure no laundry is present.
- Pour the entire contents of the pack (180g) directly into the drum — do not add to the detergent drawer.
- Set the machine to the longest hot-water cleaning cycle available; or to a high-water-level soak cycle at 40°C or above.
- Run the full cycle through to completion, including the spin.
- Wipe the drum interior, door seal, and gasket with a clean cloth after the cycle completes; run an additional rinse cycle if a bleach smell lingers.

- Sodium Hydroxide — pH adjuster and saponification agent.

FAQ
Is this safe for all washing machine types?
Compatible with standard top-load and front-load machines; check your machine manual for chlorine bleach compatibility.
How often should I use this?
Once per month for normal use; every 2 weeks in summer or if musty smell is persistent.
Can it be used with drum-cleaning tablets?
Use one product at a time — do not combine with other cleaning products.
Will it damage rubber drum seals?
Not at the recommended dosage and frequency; excessive use can degrade rubber gaskets over time.
Does it need a special hot wash cycle?
Hot water (40°C+) improves efficacy significantly; use the hottest drum-cleaning cycle available.
🇵🇭 For Philippines customers
Philippine households run washing machines almost daily — school uniforms, work clothes, gym gear — and in a tropical climate with near-constant humidity, front-load and top-load drum interiors breed mould and the characteristic musty smell that transfers to every clean load.
KAO Sentaku-so Haiter uses the same chlorine-bleach active that made Haiter Japan's leading laundry disinfectant, formulated specifically to kill the invisible mould, bacteria, and biofilm that accumulate inside washing machine drums — eliminating the source of that mildew smell that air fresheners can't reach.
