About Us
The agitation, spinning, and heat of the laundry process can damage clothes at the fiber level. But Downy Fabric Softener smooths and strengthens fibers to protect clothes from the damage of the wash, helping them maintain their shape. By smoothing fibers, Downy reduces the friction between them that causes them to break and leads to pills and fuzz. And when fibers break, colors appear duller, so using Downy also helps keep your clothes from fading.

Can’t beat the fresh smell of clean laundry!
This smell is everything when it comes to clean laundry. It’s not overpowering, but it lasts and when it’s first clean and drying, it scents the air even. Easy to use, and worth the money for my family. I know laundry additives may not be rhe best for the environment, but we reuse the containers for projects. 2 of us have eczema, but the scent beads have had no negative effects on us.

Scent boosters for laundry is very nice
After using these scent pellets once, I added them to my subscribe & save order. I love using them. Normal softeners are too thick and don’t dissolve properly in my washing machine which is a brand new, state-of-the-art Samsung. These pellets totally dissolve each and every wash.

Perfect boost!
I have used scent boosters for probably 7-8 years now, but only reviewing for the first time…mainly because I’ve religiously & adamantly used only natural laundry & cleaning products since my 6 months old daughter was diagnosed w eczema & quickly discovered harsh chemicals made a HUGE difference, but as our washing machine got older, things didn’t always smell fresh, even after super hot water wash. So, w her in her teens & able to instantly identify new irritants, thought I’d try some, & could leave off her items if necessary. If any other parents may be curious out of similar concerns….I’ve now tried just about every brand of scented laundry additive made, & was a long time gain moonlight breeze fan….LOVED the scent…sweet w/o being too much, perfumy, or inappropriate for my husband & teenage son, but ultimately found myself using way more than recommended in order for the scent to last. At some point, when my preferred gain was out in the store, I settled for Downy shimmer….which INSTANTLY became our favorite replacement. The scent lasted much longer & was a nicer pleasant gender neutral scent. Going through several periods of Shimmer being unavailable~w other’s questioning if it was discontinued online, I settled on Spring…it’s quite similar but a little sweeter? Honestly, they’re the only 2 scents I’d found I would even consider!! I came across a small bottle of the Shea Blossom in a store I normally don’t shop for that sort of thing, but it & another were new to me, so thought I’d just take a whiff out of curiosity….I’m the one smelling every candle on the aisle in Marshall’s & Tj Maxx because ya NEVER KNOW what gem you may find amongst 95%, or more, scents I wouldn’t burn if given to me free~I’m obviously quite picky about fragrances & don’t usually like anything ‘created,’ like fresh, rain, etc, but also don’t care for fabulous scents that disappear instantly either. Shea Blossom was an incredibly unexpected surprise!!! I wouldn’t say as strong or on the sweet side as Shimmer or Spring, I guess more floral, but an incredibly mild floral….almost a weak Gardenia. I mean, it is called “light,” but I wouldn’t know if the bottle didn’t say so because the performance isn’t a bit lighter! To me, it’s just a more natural, earthy scent….idk the right words exactly except, not as forced. Clothes smell exactly as you’d expect coming out of the wash, & occasionally I use a little extra on items that won’t be used soon. **an important note…using a front loader, I often add a bit of vinegar to the softener compartment because it helps loosen dirt, strip odors & softens, while also helping the drum stay cleaner, but it doesn’t affect the scent whatsoever! Smells equally great w or w/o vinegar** Fortunately, the Gain boosters didn’t irritate her skin when using a little less than recommended, & the Downy boosters have not irritated her at all, yet Downy fabric softener has caused mild irritation while Tide sets her skin on fire!!!! Knowing it’s definitely more chemicals than I’ll allow at any other time, I feel reassured it’s not bad enough to require caution, & I get to treat myself to a rare bonus of not worrying when I pull out long stored linens for guests that they may need a fresh wash first (I have actually added small plastic pouches w some beads & w holes punched throughout also in items stored in fabric bins long term to help due to a musty smell infiltrating the closet from the crawl space beneath) I have now solely converted to Shea Blossom permanently & even subscribed to monthly delivery. And, now that my daughter is grown & added her 2nd child recently, she has quite rolling her eyes at my use of natural products & converted herself, though she too has chosen to make an exception for Downy Scent Boosters, though opting for a different scent (I think the Light Ocean Mist), & using 1/2 the recommended amount, which she says is perfect as quickly as items are used/worn & therefore washed often. But she readily substitutes mine when she’s out! Doesn’t use on her 5 months old baby, but has been using for her 5 years old son since 1 or so when she also switched from the Gain brand. Newly tried natural detergents have come & gone due to reactions, but Downy has proven trustworthy & continued to be consistently gentle & non irritating to her highly sensitive skin, as well as her young children’s (the baby sleeps on her sheets, & mine, & has extremely close contact w our clothes. Of course EVERYONE is different, but I would recommend at least trying if you have skin concerns because our experience has been great, & that’s rarely true outside green products! And, if you’re not a big fan of overwhelming or intensely permeating smells, I’d also recommend Shea Blossom, & hopefully you too can finally enjoy a mild fragrance boost that’s typically next to impossible to find

Love the scent!
This scent is just amazing & impossible to find in stores anywhere around me. Thinking about buying a few dozen! LOL! Seriously tho… it’s like a nice almost vanilla/shea light scent that makes everything smell just wonderful! And the price on Amazon for the large bottle is what the small bottle costs at my local grocery!!!

Best scent booster scent ever
I borrowed a towel at an event from a friend and I just loved how they smelled. She told me she adds this to her laundry. Snells so good I wonder what the one that’s not light smells like . This one is wonderful.

Subtle long lasting aroma
I have a family with very sensitive allergies, however, we love fresh smelling clothes and bedding. So far the Downy Beads are been our all time favorite. It doesn’t leave any residue on our clothing, sensitive on our skin, and the aroma lasts long without being overpowering.As for price we buy the largest size and for the amount needed, usually half a call full per load, it lasts long.

Nice scent
The beads dissolve well. I use with an unscented detergent. You can use as much or little as you want. I use 1/4 to 1/2 of cap, any more would be overpowering.

My absolute favorite!
I love this scent so much. When using for laundry I usually use around a cap full, not quite, but I used to try and make these last as long as possible. Then my laundry wouldn’t even have the delicious smell of these on them, so I figured out you have to use about that much to get the full effect! Also I make a home spray with these and absolutely love it. You just need a spray bottle, I use a glass one, fill it with hot water, then put some of these beads in with a little rubbing alcohol. It works great, smells incredible, and is way cheaper than buying room sprays!

I’ve found my favorite scent!
The woodland rain scent is hands down the best, in my opinion. It’s not too sweet, or powdery, but not overly masculine either. The “light” booster beads perform just as well as the standard option and I cannot recommend these enough.

The Best Smell!
These smell so comforting and clean! I get many compliments on the smell of my clothes. I always tell ppl that I use downy scent booster and they’re shocked at how comforting the ocean mist fragrance is. It’s not over powering at all. If you’re sensitive to smells, this one is the one to buy. Try finding the bigger one at Costco for $17 tho. After I purchased these I never went back to the gain ones.
