Downy Unstopables Tide Original In Wash Scent Booster Beads

These laundry beads made my clothes smell great. I love the scent because it is fresh/clean and it lasts for a long time without being overpowering. I love that it does not take a ton so the bottle lasts a long time, too.

BOTTOM LINE: This is hand’s down the best laundry product that you didn’t even know you should be using — and believe me, you should be using it. If you have to use non-scented detergents like my family, it’s an absolute necessity. Important Information: My entire family has sensitive skin but my sons’ sensitivies are severe enough that I can only use free&clear detergents so my review is based on my experience with a laundry detergent that offers literally no scent. PROS: - Safe for ALL skin types, including extremely sensitive skin and/or eczema - Ridiculously easy to use, pour beads into cap and cap into washer - Safe for any material you can put in your washer - Scent control by adding more or less beads to each load - Scent is fresh but not overwhelming to the senses - Freshens the entire laundry room as a side perk - Fresh smelling for up to 6 weeks (I can verify 3 weeks and counting so far from personal experience) CONS: - Honestly, there really aren’t any...it can seem expensive but it’s not for what it gives you, especially if you can’t use scented detergents - If you are sensitive to smells like I am, just choose a scent you are familiar with and can handle and start adding more and more beads to test tolerance with each load So, to my actual experience with this god send. It’s great that I know no one is being exposed to any excess chemicals but these detergents — and if you use them you absolutely know what I’m talking about — do NOT leave your clothes smelling “fresh out of the washer”. This is a huge problem for anyone with toddlers in the house, a teenage boy, and a husband — oh and a dog (I know). I have tried adding (and not exaggerating) up to 10 dryer Sheets at a time to even get a whiff of a fresh scent but it always faded immediately. I tried spraying the clean clothes with Fabric Refresher before and after the dryer but this also faded and smelled forced. I don’t have time to research essentials oils and what nots with 2 kids and, quite frankly, it shouldn’t be that difficult to get good smelling laundry. If all of that wasn’t enough, I have chronic migraines and I have to be exceptionally careful with scents because too much of even a good one can lead to a very bad day for me. So, I saw ads and promos for this type of thing before but honestly didn’t think that it could work or would work, was worried about whether it would irritate my kids’ skin, and if it was safe for everything or if I was gonna have to add another task to my pre-laundry summit, and finally if I was going to be playing Russian Roulette loaded with migraines. However, after one particularly horrifying potty training mishap, I was so frustrated By the fact I couldn’t get my son’s blanket smelling clean, I broke down and bought it. BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE. After getting it, I was super excited to try it (see Pros above). The first time I tried it, I used half of a cap full because I wanted to check how strong the scent was (and I knew I was gonna wash that bedding a second time anyway). After the washer cycle was done, my entire laundry room smelled amazing and so did the blanket. It smelled fresh and clean and it wasn’t an overwhelming scent. I got nervous about how it would last after the dryer but the smell held and it continued to last throughout the entire week. I’ve used it in every single load since and it’s amazing the difference — I don’t dread laundry, I don’t worry that clean clothes don’t smell clean, and the scents last for weeks (found that out after washing winter blankets to prep for the upcoming season - 3 weeks in storage tub and counting) with added bonus of an awesome smelling laundry room to boot. I’ve used it on towels, dress shirts, bedding, jackets, and t shirts ofnjust about every machine washable material I can conceive of and it does not cause any damage what so ever. This product is awesome and I’m so happy I finally tried it. It’s worth the money and if you are as frustrated as I was, it cannot hurt to try and i sincerely recommend that you do.

This is an awesome product I love to use it on my sheets and towels to help keep them fresh and clean smelling longer

I ordered these Downy Unstopables In-Wash Scent Booster Beads on Amazon for convenience, and the price was actually a little cheaper than in stores. They leave clothes smelling fresh for days, not just right out of the wash. I like that you can control how strong the scent is by how much you use. A little goes a long way. Pros: long-lasting scent, easy to use, good value Cons: scent may be too strong for some Definitely recommend if you like your laundry smelling fresh longer!

This is such an upgrade to my laundry situation. The container arrived on time in a nice size bottle with no leaks or spills. You just pour a little into the cap and then add it to the laundry in the washing machine to add more fragrance and a fresh smell to your clothes. It does not remove stains but makes the clothes feel fresh and clean. The bottle has a screw cap but I leave it higher on a shelf to make sure it is safe from the kids playing near it. I wouldn’t say this is an overall versatile product but it it good for its purpose.

Never a disappointment. This is my go-to scent when ordering scent booster beads. The scent is not too heavy nor too light it's somewhere in the middle but at last for days. It has a very fresh and clean scent that I absolutely love!

Let me save you the time & sneezes. I'm someone who is not sensory sensitive to smells unless they're "I just walked into the perfum department at Neiman Marcus" strong. I crave good smelling things and prefer natural-smelling things, less chemically-smelling, food smelling, or sugary/fruity concoctions. Oakmoss is one of my #1 all time favorite scents. Here's what you need to know. 1. If you like laundry scent beads, this is FANTASTIC. If you don't, or are unconvinced, then skip it. There's not much in between. 2. This says rose & oakmoss - no rose lingers whatsosever. If you love oakmoss, you're really going to love this. If you're not familiar with oakmoss, you're probably going to love this. It settles into this very natural, subtle, comforting smell that's like the scent equivalent of the feeling of curling up on a genuine leather couch with a good book that smells of paper and wood and a faint hint of vanilla under a wool blanket as the season is getting ready to turn to fall. It's a comfort smell. The kind that will stick in your mind and always remind you of home or whatever you wash these with. 3. This has HEAVY scent throw and linger power. ONLY USE ONE TEASPOON. I repeat, ONLY USE ONE TEASPOON. I've tried with half, and it's faint. I've tried with one, it's perfect. I've tried 2 teaspoons, and whatever you wash with it will have a 3-5 foot scent throw-power. I washed a jacket with it and hung it on the coat rack to dry and forgot about it. For a half a day, every time I walked by the hallway 4 feet away, I kept smelling this really good scent and couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Till I went to hang up the jacket and realized it was the laundry scent beads that had left the fantastic although strong scent on it. Next time I washed a load, did just one teaspoon or a little less (3/4 teaspoon if we're being precise), and it was perfect. You could smell it on the laundry, but not beyond it. 4. Because of #2, I use these only with towels, rugs, and certain favorite jackets and scarves. I always want to associate these things with one, comforting scent and vice versa so it reminds me of home and smelling it feels like a hug. I use a separate scent bead for sheets (Light Ocean or whatever that Downy one is) to generate a distinct association with the feeling of burrowing down into a comforing bed and relaxing.

Fantastic, amazing, wonderful scent! I had reservations about buying these online and not being able to smell them prior, but once received I was pleased with the scent! The value is there, the scent is not too strong, keeps my clothes smelling fresh and soft and is a great value for the money.

It's like it was made for giants. I feel tiny using it. It should last a nice while.

Excelente

I understand people who doesn't like using softeners, but honestly for bedding sheets and fabric like wool. It does make a big difference.

色々なビーズを試しましたが、これは1番お気に入りです。お値段が高いので、お気に入りの洗濯の時にしか使わないけど、甘い香りが洗濯後も、干した後も香るのでとても良いです。結構香るので、量の調整でしっかりとか、ふわっと とか出来るとおもいます。

This is seriously one of the best smells I've ever smelled! Absolutely love it. A little goes a long way.
