CLEAN MACHINES

High-efficiency front-loading washers are fab, but the persistent mould problems and the resulting bad odours...well, they stink. Finally, a solution. The UltraFresh washer from GE Appliances comes with their trademark OdorBlock ventilation system, which prevents odour-causing bacteria from growing. There’s no more need to wipe down the machine or leave the door open after each load – the gasket drains excess water and the ventilation system leaves the tub smelling clean.
