Downy Infusions In-Wash Laundry Scent Booster Beads, CALM, Soothing Lavender and Vanilla Bean, 24 oz

Absolutely changed the game for my laundry!! My clothes feel better and has been smelling so good!! It’s not strong where you get headaches from it but subtle. I even get stopped and asked what perfume I’m wearing!! Smells fresh for awhile! Added this to my laundry essentials!!

Just love this scent I only use this scent for bedding and sleepwear very calming and relaxing scent we sleep better. Oh and I also use the same scent in the fabric softener. Sheets and blankets smells for days till I change the bedding. I have 7 sheet sets so there is always one waiting and I keep the sheet sets, comforters and blankets in vacuum sealed bags so the scent stays till I need to change the bedding again 🙂 I rotate them and they take less space in my bedding armoire. I also use the other scented washing beads and fabric softener each sent for different kind of clothes. Face cloths, hand towels and bath towels too. lol I am the ultimate Downy fan.

I don’t always use scent beads because of the potential damage any waxy products can do to your washing machine but I do use these sparingly in my linens wash. To reduce the amount of beads I use, I take out a good amount of my powder detergent out and put it in a container with a lid and then add the scent beads to it so it infuses its scent into the powder instead of using it separately with every linens wash. This reduces the amount I would otherwise use by at least 50%. You want to do this well ahead of time so the scent goes through the powder detergent. This means I use less which could potentially cause harm to the washing machine but this also saves money because I’m using so much less. I also recommend you use these beads in warm water so they can melt efficiently and can rinse out of your washer instead of potentially plugging up in the insides with the cooled waxy product. Used sparingly, I do recommend these scent beads for sheets and towels for the relaxing properties. They make your sheets and pillow cases, especially, smell heavenly.

First time buying this product. I personally am unsure about the smell but my family likes it. Also the bottle was damaged at the bottom. It was caved in. However the damages container should not affect the performance of the product itself. I’m not returning this cause the bottle is not in perfect shape. It’s not pierced. It’s just pushed inwards at the very bottom side. I’m good.

I bought this while it was on sale and I am hooked!!! I wish the sale would have allowed me to buy more at the great price. It works amazingly well to provide a scent that lasts for a long time. It’s 1.5 pounds of smelling goodness so it’s a good size that will probably last a household of 4 about a month. The packaging has great durability and is attractive to the eye. The beads work fine for our septic system as well.
