Using Fizzi Fred
For pet households, every two weeks is ideal. Multiple dogs or heavy laundry use? Once a week is fine. For non-pet households, once a month is plenty to prevent general buildup.
Drop one tablet directly into your empty washing machine drum. Run the machine on the hottest cycle available with no laundry and no detergent. That's it — the tablet does the rest.
The hottest setting your machine offers. This activates the enzymes and loosens any built-up residue. For most machines, that's a "tub clean," "drum clean," or 90°C wash cycle.
We recommend placing the tablet directly in the drum for best results — especially for front-load and HE machines. The drawer route can work on some models, but dropping it in the drum ensures the full tablet is properly dissolved.
Safety & Ingredients
Yes. Our formula contains no bleach, no artificial fragrance, no parabens, and no harsh chemicals. The enzyme ingredients are fully rinsed away during the wash cycle. That said, keep tablets stored safely out of reach of pets and children, as you would with any cleaning product.
Yes. Fizzi Fred is fully septic-safe. The biodegradable enzyme formula doesn't disrupt the bacterial balance that septic systems rely on — in fact, the enzymes break down naturally once they reach the drain.
Absolutely not. We use oxygen-based sodium percarbonate to whiten and disinfect — it's gentler, safer, and doesn't damage rubber seals or coloured machine surfaces the way chlorine bleach can.
Compatibility
Yes. Fizzi Fred is compatible with all standard washing machine types: top-load, front-load, and high-efficiency (HE) machines. Place the tablet directly in the drum for all machine types.
Yes — the Drum Clean or Tub Clean setting is ideal. Run that cycle with one Fizzi Fred tablet and no laundry.
