Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Our Downy Light Ocean Mist is put through many quality checks to provide you with the best laundry experience. The residue left on your clothes may be due to adding the scented beads after the wash or if your washer was overloaded. We recommend adding the scented beads before the wash, and ensuring not to overload the washer to allow enough room for the scented beads to move around and dissolve. The best way to remove the residue is to re-wash your clothes without the scented beads. We'd like the opportunity to learn more about your experience, and would appreciate you giving us a call at (800) 688-7638.
