Downy Calm Lavender & Vanilla Bean In-Wash Booster Laundry Additive Beads: Bleach-Free Spill-Resistant Odor Control

A: Yes, these just add an extra scent to your laundry. They don't have any soap in them. It's kind of like asking if you still need to shower if you're using perfume ;)

A: Yes, you can use both.

A: Hi there! Great question. Our Downy Infusions Calm Lavender & Vanilla Bean Scent Booster Beads have a small line and larger line inside the dosing cap that will guide you on how much to use depending on the size of the load. So, our way to measure it is not based in weight like ounces, it is done through the lines inside the dosing cap. For small loads, measure to the first dosing line. For medium-sized loads, measure to the second dosing line. For large loads use a full cap. After measuring, shake/toss the pellets directly into the drum of the wash machine before adding clothing, etc. and before starting the wash. Do not put in the dispenser drawer. Please contact us at (800) 688-7638 so we can hear more about this situation. Your satisfaction is highly important for us at Downy.

A: No, they are not used as fabric softener.

A: Yes, this is HE compatible.

A: We're very sorry to hear about this. If you aren't doing so already, put the beads in first, and make sure the load size isn't too large, nor contains many absorbent items. For further assistance, please call us at (800) 688-7638.

A: These do have a shelf life. If past their shelf life, they may not have the same scent potency.

A: You can add these scent beads directly into the drum of your washer before you add your clothes/garments. Be sure to never add these directly to the dispenser drawer.

A: Our Lavender & Vanilla Bean Scent Beads are safe to use around cats when used as directed.

A: Thank you for sharing your interest in our Downy Infusions Calm Booster Beads. Our Downy Scented beads are designed for the consumers who would like that extra scent boost on their clothing.

A: The amount added to your laundry is dependent on your preference, Margaret. For a light scent, add less, for a strong scent, we recommend adding more.
