Downy Unstopables Laundry Scent Booster Beads for Washer, Fresh, 10 oz (Pack of 4)

I cannot wash without these. They make my clothes smell so good. I buy these here because they have a better price than going to the store to grab it. The bottle is large but doesn't tend to last too long. I believe I buy this once a month as I use about 1.5 for the clothes to smell amazing. This has no stain-removing quality as it is only a scent booster. The beads are small and tend to dissolve better when placed in a washer with warm water. I recommend the blue scent and purple, which I believe is lavender. I haven't tried any other scent boosters, but haven't been looking for a new one either but when I do decide to use a new one, I'll be updating this review.

I am very particular when it comes to laundry. I use different detergents for different laundry jobs. I use mainly use Persil for my clothing, and I prefer Tide for my towels and bedding. This is why I bought this product. I like having my towels and bedding smell freshly washed when I used them, and this provides a pleasant, long-lasting scent. So when I pull out a towel, it smells like it was just washed, even after a week or so, and every night when I get into bed, it also smells freshly laundered. I wouldn't want this level or duration of scent on everything, but it's perfect for my towels and bedding for sure!

We have been using these unstoppables for months now and our clothes maintain a nice clean scent for a long time. They don’t leave marks or stains on our clothes. We have a top load washer and pour some of the beads in the bottom of the tub prior to adding clothes. The size is much larger than I am able to buy in store for a lower price.

These laundry scent beads are amazing! They add a long-lasting, fresh scent to my clothes that lasts for weeks. Even towels and workout gear come out smelling incredible. They’re super easy to use—just toss some in with the wash, and they do all the work. The scent is strong but not overpowering, and it makes laundry feel like less of a chore. If you love fresh-smelling clothes, these are a must-have. Highly recommend!

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 loadSo, 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.

Great scent, good quality, lasts long

Love the smell and seems to assist in cleaning stains!

This always makes my laundry smell so good. It smells amazing and I love using it when washing my clothes. It works well and it has great quality. I haven’t had any sensitives to it either.
