Downy Unstopables In-Wash Laundry Scent Booster Beads, Fresh, 24 oz

Sports kit, work shirts and towels come out of the machine smelling of nothing much at all, especially after a full week piled up in the basket. Downy Unstopables scent booster beads are made for that load, adding a layer of Fresh scent that goes in with the wash rather than sitting on top of it at the end. Fresh is a bright, lively scent with light, clean notes underneath. Each bottle holds 24 oz of beads, and the packaging is made with 50% recycled plastic.

Pour the beads into the drum before adding clothes and detergent, not into the dispenser drawer. They work in all washing machines, including high efficiency models, and are suitable for use on every fabric type.

The amount of beads to use depends on the load size and how strong you want the scent to be. Start with a smaller pour for a regular load and increase from there until you find the level that suits your preference. The beads dissolve during the wash cycle, so there is no residue to rinse out separately. If you are washing heavily soiled items or a particularly large load, adding a bit more than usual gives a better result. The beads can be used alongside any brand of detergent, fabric softener, or dryer sheet without conflict.

For storage, keep the bottle sealed between uses and away from moisture, since humidity can cause the beads to clump together. A 24 oz bottle is a practical middle ground for households that do laundry several times a week, offering enough product to last without taking up excessive shelf space. When comparing scent boosters of this type, the main variables are fragrance intensity, the number of scent options available, and whether the beads dissolve cleanly rather than leaving residue on fabrics. This size and format works well for families or anyone with a consistently high laundry volume.
