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

    Your clothes will smell very good!!

    The application is very simple it is only added directly to the drum before the clothes and that's it. The dispersion is excellent, the pearls are distributed very well during the cycle without leaving residues or stains. In the wash, the aroma is soft, fresh and clean, without being invasive, ideal for daily use. The amount yields a lot; with a small dose it is enough to achieve a pleasant and lasting fragrance. In addition, it is perfect for people with sensitivity, since it is not heavy or irritating, leaving the clothes with a light and comfortable freshness. Without a doubt, a product that I totally recommend

    Beautiful subtle scent

    A light scent that really sticks to the laundry. I use unscented pods and rely on my beads to add a little scent and these do the trick. All of the light beads have the softest hint of a calming scent and I love them. You get a huge bottle for a good price and it’ll last many washes! I also love the lid is the measuring cup.

    Absolute must

    These beads are a game-changer! A little goes a long way, especially paired with the detergent and it smells AMAZING! My clothes never have any remaining residue and I have not noticed any issues with buildup in my washing machine.

    Makes Laundry Smell Amazing

    I love adding Downey Light Scent Beads in Ocean Mist to my laundry. It’s simple to just pour in to the bottom of the washing machine. It doesn’t leave a residue, it dissolves and washes away. You can add a small pour or a larger pour depending on how strong you want it. It’s really effective and will make your laundry smell amazing.

    I don’t have a picture of my project because I forgot to take a picture but let me tell you this is so so so much my favorite. I love this one so much.

    Amazing

    Downy Ocean Mist scent beads add a clean, fresh scent that isn’t overpowering. The ocean-inspired fragrance leaves laundry smelling crisp and long-lasting, even days later. Easy to use and great for towels and everyday loads when you want an extra boost of freshness.

    Nice Scent, No Mess

    The Downy Light Ocean Mist Laundry Scent Boosters are a nice addition to my laundry routine. I like that there is no liquid to messily pour. You don’t need to add very much for it to work on a large load. They were also fun to use! The scent is a little strong but pleasant. I plan to purchase more in the future. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

    Fresh laundry

    I’ve always wanted that "fresh laundry" smell to last, but most scent beads are way too strong and give me a headache. These Downy Light beads in Ocean Mist are exactly what I needed. The scent is very crisp and clean—more like fresh air or a light breeze than a heavy floral perfume. Even though it’s "light," the scent actually sticks. I washed my bedding with it a week ago and it still smells fresh. If you want your clothes to smell clean but don't want to smell like a walking air freshener, give these a try. Definitely my new go-to!

    These are my all time favorite scent beads. They smell is fantastic especially paired with gain and the scent last a long time, I use a cap full of scent beads per load maybe less depending on the size of load but it always smells so good!

    My absolute favorite from the entire Downy line.

    I’m absolutely in love with Downy Light Laundry Scent Booster Beads! I’ve tried the entire collection, and Ocean Mist is by far the freshest, lightest, and most pleasant scent. It’s clean and refreshing, with a soft ocean-breeze feel — not overpowering at all. The fragrance lasts a long time on clothes and makes doing laundry a real pleasure. Definitely my favorite, and I will be repurchasing again and again!

    Heaven on earth

    I have the MOST sensitive skin in the world (I promise) -- the only moisturizer I can use is aquafor cause my skin is so sensitive -- but this stuff doesnt irritate my skin. Most scent boosters make me itch all day and night but I SWEAR BY THIS PRODUCT. Ive used this throughout college and it makes my clothes smell so fresh without bothering my skin.

    Highly exceeded my expectations

    This was the first time I’ve tried an in-wash scent booster bead. It highly exceeded my expectations. I used one packet with my bedding and couldn’t believe how good my quilt and sheet smelled and that they smelled so good for several days. It’s better than my laundry has ever smelled. It’s easy to use and put in the washing machine before you put clothes in after. The ocean mist smell smells like fresh laundry.
