Q: How many 1/2 cups do you get in the 5.7 oz package?

submitted by LindaH - 2 years ago

  • A: Because the "brand expert" refused to provide accurate information, allow me to help you out. There are 8 ounces in ONE cup. So half a cup has 4 ounces. Therefore, a 5.7 ounce oackai, which is also listed as a trial size, has 1 "serving" - the rest of the weight is probably packaging rather than product. Hope that helps.

    submitted bylow sodium diet - 1 year ago

  • A: We don't have a recommended dosage for our Scent Booster Beads, so you can add as much as you'd like to your wash. This makes it hard to determine how many doses you'll get from a container of our Downy Light Ocean Mist Scent Beads.

submitted by Erika - 4 years ago

    Love it love it love it

    This is the best invention ever! As someone with more sensitive skin and sensitive nostrils some scent beads can be a little too strong. I love that this is a lighter scent but you can still smell it. It’s easy to use and dissolves even in cool water for me

    Great scent!

    I love the scent of these scent beads. I feel like it kind of has a more masculine smell that’s light and airy. I love to just throw a half a cup of beads in with a load of towels and when they finished drying they smell so good!

    Extra boost for your laundry

    Downy Light Ocean Mist leaves my laundry smelling wonderfully fresh. The scent is light and not overpowering. You only need to add a little bit before starting the washer, and it goes a long way.

    Easy, but smells awful

    While the scent beads are easy to use, don't require much instructions, and it's a fast option, these beads to me, have an awful smell. They have the same consistency as other beads, and I didn't see any residue left behind when using them.

    I love that this scent is clean and fresh for the whole family. Not too girly smelling for my husband and son’s clothes. A little goes a long way for me too. I use just enough to barely cover the button of the cup and our things come out with a nice light scent.

    This is the first time that my product came broken the lid was broken and product was used half way.
    1 reply from Downy team - 1 month ago
    We're so sorry to hear you had this experience with our Downy Light Ocean Mist In-Wash Scent Booster Beads, Chantel. It must upsetting that the lid came broken and the product looking half way. This is definitely not the type of experience we want you to go through. A lot of research goes into our bottle design and we strive to get the best quality for our consumers. We know that at times, there can be some occasional damage to our packages during shipping. Our bottles are designed to withstand a certain amount of wear and tear. Even so, plastic packaging may become damaged or break if it's dropped, especially if it lands on a seam or corner. We’ll make sure we share what’s happening so that we can continue to improve our designs. Also, we have strict quality controls and it’s unusual for a package to leave our plant with less than the proper amount of product in it. So, each of our detergent bottles contains at least the number of ounces stated on the pack, and our bottles are designed and filled to allow for proper pouring. Please contact us at (800) 688-7638 so we can hear more about this situation and take care of you. Your satisfaction is highly important for us at Downy.

    New scent!

    I love all Downy Scent Boosters but this new scent I found last week is NEXT LEVEL! I love it so much that I couldn’t wait for them to add the product to the app, I had to share how great it is. It’s not overpowering at all. It is so fresh, cozy, and a little sweet. I love how it made my towels smell! And the scent last even after drying. I can’t wait to use it on my clothes because I just know they are going to smell amazing!

    Great light fresh scent

    I love these scent boosters, they are lightly scented in Ocean Mist scent. It’s a fresh not overpowering scent that I love for my towels. All you do is dump a small amount into the washer with your clothes and they come out smelling so good! I love that the scent lasts without being too powerful or irritating.
