We're sorry to hear that your Downy Ultimate scent beads didn't leave behind as much scent as you had expected, Skeet! Our products go through many quality tests to make sure they leave your fabrics smelling clean and fresh every time when used as directed, so this isn't the experience we want you to have, and we're grateful for your feedback. It may be helpful to know that the amount of beads used per load can be adjusted to meet individual choice of the amount of scent desired, and larger loads need more beads than small loads to deliver the desired amount of scent as the less you use, the less scent. Additionally, super high temps and/or super long dry times in tumble dryers may zap some of the perfume, so we recommend using lower heat and shorter dry times if possible. Our team would like to learn more about this and assist you further from here, please give us a call at (800) 688-7638, any time from 9:00AM-6:00PM EST Monday-Friday or 9:00 AM-5:30 PM EST Saturday, so we can help!
