Keeps my laundry smelling fresh.

I really love this scent. It’s fresh, clean, and makes all my clothes and laundry smell good without being too strong. The Ocean Mist fragrance lasts well after washing and keeps everything smelling fresh throughout the day. It’s an easy boost that makes my laundry feel extra clean and pleasant.

My Favorite Fragrance

This one fragrance is not super strong or offensive. Just the right light scent to make your clothes smell refreshed. Having severe allergies makes it difficult to use many products but this one works for me!

reply from Downy

We are really sorry to hear you had this experience with our Downy Light Laundry In-Wash Scent Booster Beads, Ocean Mis, Casey. It must upsetting that the scent was not of your liking. We understand scent is very subjective, and we appreciate you providing us with this feedback, but this is definitely not the type of experience we want you to go through. To remove odors, rewash clothes in the hottest water safe for the fabric using the recommended detergent and fabric softener, and add bleach if the item is bleach-safe. Clean your washing machine regularly according to the owner's manual and consider doing a service wash. To prevent odors, perform monthly machine clean-outs with a washing machine cleaner, promptly remove clothes after washing and drying, and keep the washer door open between uses to air it out. Avoid overloading the washer, wash smaller loads for heavy items, use the recommended or extra detergent for large or heavily soiled loads, and always use the hottest water safe for the garment. Ensure fabrics are completely dry before storing, pre-treat stains for up to 30 minutes, and avoid drying clothes in high-humidity areas. Please feel free to contact us at (800) 688-7638 so we can learn more about this situation and take care of you by recommending the best scent for your liking. Your satisfaction is highly important for us at Downy.

High End Smell

Love this subtle clean smell. It leaves your clothes smelling like the high end fragrance wash liquids. Smells more like Tyler Candle Company than Downy.

Luv Downy light

I Luv the way my clothes smell now. It’s so fresh. I use to use Un Stoppable and my clothes didn’t seem that clean and fresh. I’m sticking with this now.

Helps my scrubs stay fresh!

I've been using these scent beads for years, and they're one of the few products I feel strongly enough about to review. I use them every time I wash my nursing scrubs, and even after 12 hour shifts, they still smell fresh. I often get compliments that I smell clean and fresh and have recommended them to countless patients, families and coworkers.

Wonderful scent!

I was skeptical about this scent since my go-to beads were out of stock, but I don’t regret buying these at all. I’m actually stocking up in case they get discontinued at my local Sam’s. These are the only beads I’ve found where the scent lasts for days, and that’s a lifesaver with a sweaty husband and son!

THE ABSOLUTE BEST

I have tried several different scent boosters, and the ocean mist is my absolute favorite! I first tried this scent when I got a free sample in my Walmart grocery order goody bag, and I’ve been hooked ever since! I get compliments often about how my clothes smell so good, so I share my secret laundry ingredient. Sam’s Club price is the best on these especially when they have a savings event going on. 10/10 recommend!!
