Don't try it

I tried these .... Now I have to buy them all the time. And sometimes I randomly sniff my clothes like a weirdo They make everything smell sooo good. Seriously not sure it's worth it. Im obsessed, I love them. But I can't recommend you go all in unless you're willing to commit to a new staple product.

Downy laundry beach

I love this and it has a lot in the bottle. It was a little pricey and that was the only fault I found with it.

How do you say no to this value?!!

This bottle is so big and for the price, how can you not buy at SC?? I have so much of this product, I've found other ways to use it around the house ;)

For best results

Leaves clothes smelling with lavender sent for 5 days. The bottle says I scoop I put 2 because my washer is really old. I just discovered that during this bad weather freeze. I had no water went to wash at my daughters newer washer I couldn't believe how well this product it.

Softball Girls are stinky

Pretty good scent cover for athletic gear washing. This helps make athletic girls smell a bit more like a girl rather than an old gym sock - for a little while. Smell lasts a few days after washing. Does not stick around much if you dry your clothes.

Best way to make clothes smell fantastic

I use these on my husband's clothes, just because they need a little extra boost to smell great. I can still smell them a few weeks later in his closet, when I am hanging up other clothes. I know the smell lasts for weeks and I know he loves the way they smell when he puts them on.

Family of 5 Smells Good

Our clothes smell fresh for the short time that they sit in the closet, and for the occasional long haul. As a family of 5, with only 1 female, I try my best to keep good smells in the house. I love that my blankets give off a hint of Downy, as do the stinky people.

Nice Fresh Scent

I thought this would be a good choice when washing sweaty clothes or towels, and things that had been sitting around too long waiting to be washed. The fresh scent this product imparts lasts for a very long time. And I discovered a little goes a long way, which is a cost-saving feature. I'm very happy.

Great smell that lasts until the next wash

I like these beads because they make my towels and sheets smell good with out the use of softeners. I don't like softeners on my towels because I feel they don't dry as well and I don't like to use softeners on my sheets because I like my linins crisp and fresh. But I do like my towels and linens to still smell wonderful so these beads do the trick. The fresh clean Downy smell that lasts until the next wash. These are the best and the original Downey scent is the best. I have tried other scents but this one I always go back to because it just smells like clean fresh laundry should smell to me. This smell also goes with many different laundry detergents without clashing scents.

So so

I have to use 2+ capfuls in a medium load just to get the smell to stay long enough to come out of the washer. The scent is strong for a couple days, but does not last as long as the beads with the blue or orange label. What ever happened to Tide, Downey, and Bounce making clothes smell great without having to add another expense??

reply from Downy

Firstly, thank you so much for using our scent beads. We still deliver the same amount of fragrance in our fabric softener, but for those users who love that additional scent, we offer these scent beads to enhance the smell even more. We'd love to hear from you about this and help. Please call us at (800) 688-7638.
