Many of these files contain personal information that can be seen by others who use your Mac, or by hackers who gain access to your computer. Intego Washing Machine helps manage this information, preventing others from seeing what you've been doing, and keeping your hard disk spic and span. Washing Machine helps you protect your privacy by making it easy to delete such information, wiping the tracks that your web browsers and other programs record when you use the Internet.
Washing Machine can clean five types of items: Bookmarks, Caches, Cookies, Download Histories, and Browsing Histories. It works with most web browsers, and many utilities or other programs that store information without your awareness. It even cleans up after some programs that you would never think are storing data.

Cocktail and Onyx are both excellent too. It's all a matter of personal preference.

some ideas: once you have some flash caches/cookies in the Flash Caches Catagory, drag the Flash Player Icon onto the Schedule Source icon at the left side of Washing Machine and set up a schedule to delete your flash caches/cookies daily at your desired time, and forget it. so much for flash caches/cookies. Washing Machine is relentless at zapping flash. it gets them in ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player and ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player. if your computer is not running at the scheduled time, it will delete them as soon as you start your computer. i set Washing Machine’s secure clean level to “Medium” for flash cookies, which overwrites 7 times and takes about 2 seconds. Washing Machine’s highest level is “High” and overwrites 35 times. the Secure Clean level is set in the preferences and applies to everything you clean.
in the preferences, it takes a minute to set up the Cookies Preference because you have to manually set up the cookies (domains) you wish to keep — i keep about 30 to 40 domains — but once you have it set up, you can set a schedule to delete all cookies that aren’t essential to you.
double-clicking on the browser icons in the cookies list gives you extensive information on each and every cookie. you can change all information of cookies in this list, including the expiration date if you wish, although i don’t use this option.
Washing Machine also finds all kinds of caches for programs on your computer, some of which take up quite a bit of space.
aside from the 80+ presets, you can also add your own personal Clean List to the Source catagory and have Washing Machine clean whatever you want it to clean on a schedule or manually.
simple to use - even fun - no need at all to read instructions, well-made optimized software by Intego. if you like utilities like this, you’re sure to have fun and keep your machine more secure and clean with Washing Machine.
