I absolutely love Downy Light Laundry Scent Boosters! They add the perfect amount of fresh scent to my laundry without being overpowering.

Pleasantly Surprised-Fresh Scent
Sprinkled half a cap of the beads in the washer with my towels. Loved how light but powerful the smell was. Definitely buying more. Highly recommended.

Response from Staples :
We appreciate you reaching out. This is certainly not something that we would like to hear. All of our products go through strict quality checks to ensure that they dissolve perfectly every time, so we're sorry that wasn't your experience this time. We would like to share that in order for the scent beads to fully dissolve they should be added to the washing machine before the wash has started. The product wouldn’t get enough time in the water to dissolve if added afterwards. Another reason this may be happening is that the washing machine has too much clothing, as this will prevent the beads from being able to completely dissolve. Nonetheless, we would like to learn more about your experience, so we're able to determine how we can help the best. When you have a chance, give us a call at (800) 688-7638

Best scent beads!
The best scent beads out there. The scent is long lasting and makes my clothes smell amazing. I try to stock up when I see them go on sale. The dryer sheets are great too.

I love how fresh my clothes smell
I used the Downey Unstoppables with my clothes, sheets, and towels. My whole house smells like fresh laundry. I love the smell, and I don't have to light my candles like I normally do.

Must have
This scent Booster is a must have! It is not overwhelming but it adds just the right touch of scent. I love how I can wash my clothes and pull them out of the closet 3 weeks later and it smells like the day I folded it and put them away just the day before. Give this a try.

I love how easy these scent beads are to use — just toss them right in and they dissolve perfectly every wash. The container pours smoothly without clumping, and the Ocean Mist scent leaves everything fresh without being too strong. You can really sense the clean, light fragrance even days later.

Smells sooo good!
I absolutely love this product! It smells so good and makes my laundry smell even better! The bottle is cute and easy to open. You can use as little or as little much as you like but I’ve found that a little goes a long way! I love that the product was designed to be gentle and I haven’t experienced any irritation from using it.

These scent beads are totally worth it if you usually skip boosters because they're too strong. The Ocean Mist scent is genuinely light—it smells clean, not perfumey, and it doesn't give me a headache. My gym clothes and towels stay fresh way longer now. Good value for a great, subtle freshness.

I absolutely love the smell! It lasts forever!
The only complaint I have is that for the price you pay, the container is not completely full. I have been using this product for years and will continue to due to the quality but I am dissatisfied about the quantity vs price.

Laundry Stays Fresher Longer
We use Downy Unstopables Fresh scented beads in our laundry on almost every load.
The scented beads give our laundry an extra fresh scent that helps keep our laundry smelling and feeling fresher longer.
The beads dissolve in the washing machine and I’ve never had the beads not dissolve.

This product smells great
I love downy as a whole but the downy unstopables I love even more. I love to include it when I wash my towels and sheets so that every time I get in the bed or use a towel I getting that fresh clean smell. It also works great in other ways, I also use it as a air freshner for my apartment. I would highly recommed this product.

I love this scent!
The absolute best scents! I buy the whole line. Even the Mr. Clean unstoppables fresh scent to clean my home. I live the cap that you use to measure the correct amount of beads to use. And a little high in price, it’s worth it for freshening blankets and bath towels. A little goes a long way!

Good for sensitive nose and skin
I liked the scent but it was too light for me. I think it’d be perfect for someone with scent sensitivities, because I have a sensitive nose and can barely smell it. My skin is sensitive to some scents also, and this didn’t bother me.

Smells AMAZING.
This laundry scent booster smells SO good. I use it on all my blankets and sheets. The only downfall I can see is that sometimes the beads don’t always dissolve completely. Not sure if there’s an issue with my washer or the beads though.

Smell amazing
My laundry favorite they smell so good and the smell lasts after the clothes are dried. Easy to open and need nothing extra to measure as the cap is where you measure from. Can be a little pricey but it’s worth the money and you can catch them on sale.
