Laundry scent boosters and fabric softeners are not the same thing. Scent boosters give your clothes a stronger, longer-lasting scent after washing, whereas fabric softeners coat fibers to help soften clothes and reduce static cling on garments.

Wow, is all I can say! Not only do these make your towels, sheets, and whatever else you choose to use them with smell amazing, but the scent lasts such a long time. The linen closet in the bathroom has never smelled fresher, and the laundry room as well!

Downy Unstoppables WILL clog washer drains causing clothes to not come clean.

It's possible that this could happen if you overload the washing machine with clothes. If this is the case, there may not be enough water in the drum to dissolve all of the beads.

Simply decide how much you want to use (just shake a few or a lot of beads into the cap), and then toss those beads into your washing machine before adding your clothes. When you're ready, start the wash cycle, and let these in-wash scent boosters do their thing. It's that simple!

Do laundry beads actually work? The simple answer is yes, they do add fragrance to your wash, but a better question is, do you really need to add fragrance? They don't help wash your clothes (they may even add residue to your wash), so why use them?

Q: How do I use Unstopables in my wash? A: Simply shake as many Unstopables beads as you like into the cap, and then toss into the drum of your washer before adding clothes or your usual laundry detergent. Add your clothes, and then enjoy the fresh scent from wash until wear.

Not only can they cause damage to your machine, but scent booster beads can also cause issues like allergic reactions and skin sensitivity, as well as potentially leaving marks similar to bleach stains on your clothing.
