Intego's Washing Machine X9 (fave.co/4ifCYBI) functions as a handy cleaning utility for the Mac and focuses on reclaiming disk space via the Reclaim tool, removing duplicate files on your Mac's hard drive with the Duplicates tool, and organizing folders using the Organize tool.
Washing Machine currently retails for $19.99/£19.99 for one Mac for one year, $26.99/£23.99 for three Macs for one year, or $33.95/£30.99 for five Macs for one year, their prices having been discounted from $49.99/£49.99, $66.99/£66.99, and $84.99/£84.99 per year, respectively. The software is also available for a trial period, with a 30-day money back guarantee, albeit you'll initially pay for it with your debit or credit card, PayPal, or Apple Pay.
Like most utilities on the current macOS architecture, the software (compatible with macOS 13 High Sierra or later) requires that you download it, install it, then grant it full access to your hard drive though your Mac's Privacy and security settings. This is where things became a little trickier than expected, as you'll have to locate the Intego Washing Machine X9 app in your Applications folder after installing it and drag it into the Full Disk Access element of your Privacy and Security settings to get it to function.
