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.

wonderful

✨ Just tried Downy ULTIMATE FUSIONS™ Whimsical Wonder™ in-wash scent booster and I'm obsessed! 😍 My laundry smells so fresh and magical, and the fragrance actually lasts for days. Even my bedding feels like it just came out of the wash. Totally a game-changer for me! 💜🌸

Could use improvement

Does not completely get rid of urine odor, but does a slightly better job than the other Downey Fresh products.

We're very sorry you had that experience. While our Downy Fresh Protect In-Wash Scent Beads are great for keeping your clothes smelling fresh and clean, they are not designed to be a cleaning product or to completely remove odors from fabric. For the best results removing urine odors, we recommend washing the items in a good quality laundry detergent. Please let us know if you have any questions by calling (800) 688-7638.

Can't do without this!

Since these came onto the market I've bought them at different stores and after finding it at Sam's I won't buy it any place else

Great Buy

I have always loved these beads but I have to wait for the price to drop because they usually run pretty expensive. I got the on special and I believe it was an awesome buy

Downy wash beads

I would have thought these would leave clothes smelling fresher and to be softer, but no real difference that not using them. I've tried both Downy scents, now I've purchased the Gain scent. Fingers crossed.

Best out there!

These are the best scent beads out there! I've tried several brands and none smell as strong and last as long as these. They are a staple at my house.
