Due to its chemical properties, fabric softeners can rough up (or wreak havoc on) certain materials. Avoid using it on microfiber since, like towels, it can impact the effectiveness of its absorbency.
Fill the cap: We recommend starting with 1 cap of Scent Booster per load. Use more or less depending on your preferred scent strength. Pour booster into the fabric softener tray: After adding detergent to your laundry, add the Scent Booster to the fabric softener tray of your washing machine.
Using scent boosters or scent packs generally does not damage your washer or clothes when used as directed. However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:

Yes, it is safe to use Downy liquid fabric conditioners and scent boosters in combo washer/dryers. Simply add the appropriate dose of liquid fabric conditioner to your fabric softener drawer. For best results always put scent boosters directly in the wash drum before you start the wash.
These scent beads do not function as traditional fabric softeners, which are meant to reduce static, add softness, and decrease wrinkles in clothes. However, some users find that the fragrance beads in Unstopables can leave clothes feeling slightly softer due to their composition.
Yes. Scent boosters, which work differently from laundry detergents and softeners, enhance the fragrance of your clothes and keep them smelling fresh for longer. But remember - not all scent boosters are the same, so you'll want to find ones that are not too overpowering and that come in a scent that you really love.
Downy Unstopables in Wash Scent Booster
Downy Unstoppables WILL clog washer drains causing clothes to not come clean. It also clogs sewer lines having to commercially clean out.
“Where some may run into trouble with their washing machines is when they use too much fabric softener, which can cause buildup in your machine and result in mold,” he says. Mold exposure can be very dangerous, especially for children or people with allergies or asthma.
They dissolve completely in all water temperatures without leaving any residue on fabrics or in the machine. Unstopables can be used alone or in combination with Downy liquid softener or dryer sheets and the "Fresh" and "Lush" scents compliment the current fragrances of P&G's detergents and Downy softeners.
Add scent boosters to your laundry:

Our best overall pick is Downy Ultra Liquid Fabric Conditioner, which has a robust formula that offers seven different benefits (like wrinkle reduction, color protection, and freshness).
The softener will coat the clothing fibers and prevent them from wicking away moisture and ruining the effect of your sportswear. And since most sportswear is made from materials like elastane (in spandex), fabric softener can cause the fabric to lose its ability to stretch and reshape itself!
If you're looking for ease and combating static cling, dryer sheets might be the way to go. But if you want an all-around softening experience and are mindful of long-term costs, fabric softeners could be your best bet.
They may smell nice, but scent beads could be causing more harm than good. Scent beads work by dissolving in your washing machine, but sometimes the dissolving process doesn't go as planned, leaving your washing machine at risk and incurring a repair fee.
Black sludge is caused by a combination of debris that gets washed down the sink. It might consist of soap scum, decomposing hair, and other decaying materials. As bacteria wraps around the debris, they turn into black sludge that can clog the pipes.
Yes! Fabric conditioners can be used with scent boosters. Fabric conditioners are designed to maintain the quality of your fabrics, keep them soft and also less wrinkled during the wash. Whereas scent boosters are added to your laundry to help give your clothes a longer-lasting fragrance.
Scent boosters do not leave residue on clothes. Fabric softener, on the other hand, can leave residue, which might lead you to strip your laundry.
But it comes at a cost: Fabric softener can reduce flame resistance on children's sleepwear, and the residue buildup in the machine can create a healthy environment for mildew to grow in. It can even diminish workout clothes' wicking ability.
"Dryer sheets are not required for proper care of laundry but are largely a matter of personal preference," says Joun. "If you find static to be an issue or your clothes coming out rougher than you want them to be, dryer sheets can be helpful to rectify those issues."
Once you've measured your desired amount of scent booster, shake the beads into the bottom of your empty washing machine drum. Make sure they're dispersed evenly across the surface so they dissolve effectively in the water. Scent booster should always go in your washing machine before your dirty laundry.
