  • Amazing smell, helps with nasty odors.
Scent: Fresh Size: 24 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have been using these Downy Unstopables In-Wash Scent Booster Beads, Fresh Scent, 24 oz for many years and they have become one of my favorite laundry products. I continue to purchase them because they consistently keep my clothes, towels, and bedding smelling fresh and clean long after washing. The scent is very pleasant, not too overpowering, and gives laundry that freshly washed smell that lasts for days, sometimes even weeks when stored in drawers or closets. One of the things I like most about this product is how easy it is to use. I simply pour the beads directly into the washing machine before adding clothes, and they work great alongside my regular detergent and fabric softener. I have used both the Fresh scent and other varieties over the years, but I always find myself coming back to this one because it smells clean and refreshing without being too strong. In the past, I did occasionally have issues with the beads not dissolving completely, especially when I washed very large or overloaded laundry loads. I would sometimes notice leftover beads stuck to clothing or inside the washer. After experimenting a bit, I found that using slightly smaller loads solved the issue almost entirely. Since making that adjustment, the beads dissolve much better and I have had no major problems. I also make sure to place the beads in the drum before adding clothes, which seems to help as well. Another reason I continue to buy this product is because a little goes a long way. You can easily control how much scent you want by adjusting the amount of beads you use, making the container last quite a while. I especially enjoy using them on towels, blankets, workout clothes, and bedding because they help keep everything smelling extra fresh between washes. Overall, I have had a very positive experience with Downy Unstopables over the years. Despite the minor dissolving issue I experienced in the past, which was easily fixed by washing smaller loads, the product has worked extremely well for me. The long-lasting scent, ease of use, and consistent performance make it a product I continue to repurchase and recommend to others looking for a reliable laundry scent booster. ... show more

  • Score one for Downy. Zero for icky scents!!!
Scent: Fresh Size: 30.1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This stuff is soooooo amazing, I can't believe it took so long to convince my hunny it was a good idea to try it! He finally agreed, and when he put hus clothes on after, he couldn't stop sniffing them! They smelled so dang good!! He works in an industrial plant, and his clothes (and he) come home smelling awful. This is an absolute game-changer in the laundry business. He's hooked after 1 wash. Add a little, add a lot? Oh, yeah. It's so easy to use, it adds nothing to the wash. I just followed the directions, and wham, bam, thank you Downy! I think his clothes actually came out softer too. We got the 30oz bottle, and it was a great value for that size--excellent deal, best value for the money. And it's the best price here vs anywhere else. I can't wait to do my towels and the rest of the laundry! And I use free & clear and very lightly scented laundry detergent for everything else in the house, btw, cuz I'm allergic to practically everything, so I'm certain this will be such a nice change for freshening up the feel of the house. I've been considering getting sprays just to freshen up, but maybe I don't need them with this?! We'll see!! Yay for Downy Scent Beads! Score!!!! (Great timing with FIFA! Lol) ... show more

  • Long-Lasting Freshness with a Gentle Scent—A Laundry Game-Changer
Scent: Lush Size: 20.1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've been incorporating Downy Unstopables In-Wash Scent Booster Beads into my laundry routine for several months, and the experience has truly elevated my washing game. **Packaging & Delivery:** Upon arrival, the product is securely packaged, ensuring that the bottle maintains its pristine condition without any dents or leaks during transit. The design of the bottle is both practical and user-friendly; the cap serves as a measuring cup, which allows me to easily pour the perfect amount of beads without creating a mess. This attention to detail adds a level of convenience that I genuinely appreciate. **Size & Value:** The generous 26.5 oz bottle holds a substantial quantity of beads, lasting me through numerous laundry cycles. I've discovered that using the Subscribe & Save option not only enhances my convenience by delivering the product right to my door but also offers significant savings compared to traditional in-store prices. This makes it an economical choice that doesn't skimp on quality. **Scent & Performance:** The Fresh scent is delightfully subtle yet invigorating, infusing my clothes with a clean aroma that lingers without overwhelming the senses. I’ve noticed that the fragrance endures for weeks, even on items neatly tucked away in closets or drawers. One of the standout features is the way the beads dissolve completely during the wash cycle, leaving no annoying residue or clumps on my clothing—just pure freshness. **Ingredients:** The ingredients list includes: - **Polyethylene Glycol (PEG):** Serves as a perfume dispersant, ensuring the scent is evenly distributed. - **Fragrance:** Delivers the distinctive and refreshing scent. - **Colorants:** Enhance the visual appeal of the beads, making them a joy to use. It's important to mention that while some components of the fragrance may be associated with mild skin sensitivity for certain individuals, I have personally experienced no adverse effects, and the product is deemed safe for all fabric types. **Usage Tips:** For the best results, I recommend adding the beads directly into the drum of your washing machine before loading in your clothes. This method guarantees an even distribution and maximizes the infusion of the delightful scent throughout your laundry. **Conclusion:** Downy Unstopables In-Wash Scent Booster Beads have seamlessly integrated into my laundry process, becoming an essential item that I can no longer do without. They impart long-lasting freshness, are incredibly easy to use, and provide excellent value—especially when I choose to buy through Subscribe & Save. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to enhance their laundry experience. With these beads, my clothes emerge soft, fresh, and wrinkle-free! No leaks! ... show more

  • Smells GREAT
Scent: Fresh Size: 24 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Even the stinky man t-shirts smell nice with this product. It really works and lasts on sheets and towels as well. Fabric softener is not recommended for them, so this is a great alternative to the Downy softener.

  • Favorite scent!
Scent: Fresh Size: 24 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The best scent in the unstoppables line. Light and airy, like a summer day. A little expensive but worth it for how long the scent lasts. It dissolves well, nothing left in my washer after use and it leaves me clothes soft and smelling fresh. A quality purchase if you like good smelling clothes!

  • SAVE YOURSELF: USE ONLY 1 TSP
Scent: Fresh Size: 24 Ounce (Pack of 1)
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. ... show more

  • Love it
Scent: Fresh Size: 26.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Love this stuff. Laundry detergent just doesn’t leave much scent on your clothes anymore so I started using this. This particular scent is my favorite one and I especially love it for linens as I can wash and put my stuff away and weeks later when I go to use it my sheets and stuff still smell nice. Love it. ... show more
