Frequently Asked Questions
Are the beads safe to use on nursery bedding and baby blankets?
The formula is fabric-safe and designed for all washable fabrics, including nursery bedding, baby blankets and burp cloths. As with any laundry product, store the bottle out of a child's reach.
Will the April Fresh scent irritate my child's sensitive skin?
The beads are made to be fabric-safe across load types. If your child has very sensitive skin, you can start with a smaller amount of beads and adjust based on comfort.
Do the beads leave any residue on stuffed animals or plush toys?
No. The in-wash scent booster beads dissolve completely during the wash cycle, so plush toys, lovies and stuffed animals come out fresh and soft with no sticky or gritty residue.
Is the bottle child-resistant so a curious toddler cannot open it?
The 13.4 oz bottle is designed for easy pouring in a laundry room, but like all household cleaning products, it should be stored in a cabinet or on a high shelf away from young children.
Can I use the beads on school uniforms and sports practice gear?
Yes. The April Fresh scent is great for freshening uniforms, PE clothes and after-practice wear, and the longer-lasting freshness helps tackle everyday kid odors.
Is this a good choice for a busy family with multiple loads a week?
Absolutely. The pour-and-go bead format requires no measuring, which saves time on busy school-night and weekend laundry days, and the 13.4 oz size covers multiple loads.
Will the floral scent be too strong for a small child's room?
You can use a smaller amount of beads for a lighter, kid-room-friendly scent and add more as your child grows or as you prefer.
Can I wash my kid's pajamas and sleep sacks with these beads?
Yes. The beads are safe for all washable fabrics, so pajamas, sleep sacks and crib sheets can all be freshened with the April Fresh scent.
Will the scent help with smelly soccer or dance practice clothes?
The longer-lasting freshness is designed to help neutralize and mask odors on activewear, so practice clothes, dance leotards and soccer uniforms come out smelling cleaner.
Are these safe for the bibs and cloth diapers in my laundry rotation?
The beads are fabric-safe. For items that go directly against a baby's mouth, you can choose to skip scent boosters and use plain detergent, but they are compatible with most family laundry.
Does the bottle fit on a small laundry room shelf in a family home?
Yes. The 13.4 oz bottle is compact and designed to fit easily on standard laundry room shelves, even in tight mudroom or in-unit washer nooks.
Will the beads cause any dye transfer on colorful kids' clothes?
No. The formula is designed to be fabric-safe and is not a dye, so it will not transfer color onto your child's bright play clothes, uniforms or character pajamas.
Can my older child help pour the beads into the washer?
The pour-and-go format is simple enough for older kids to help with, but younger children should be supervised around any laundry product, and the bottle should be stored safely between uses.
Is the April Fresh scent a familiar, comforting choice for family laundry?
Yes. April Fresh is one of the most recognizable classic Downy scents, and many parents grew up with it, so it brings a nostalgic, comforting note to kids' laundry.
Will the scent still be noticeable after a week in the dresser drawer?
The 6x longer-lasting freshness claim means the floral scent remains noticeable on stored clothing, so your child's outfits smell fresh straight out of the drawer.
Can I use these on hand-me-down baby clothes I am storing for a sibling?
Yes. The April Fresh scent helps keep stored baby clothes smelling clean and fresh between children, and the formula is safe for all washable fabrics.
How do I use Downy April Fresh In-Wash Scent Booster Beads?
Simply pour the beads directly into the washer drum before adding your laundry, then add detergent, fabric softener and clothes as usual. The beads dissolve during the wash cycle — no measuring cup and no extra rinse cycle needed.
When in the wash cycle should I add the scent booster beads?
Add the beads to the empty drum first, then add your detergent, fabric softener (if using) and laundry on top. Starting with the beads in the drum helps them dissolve fully during the wash.
Can I use the scent booster beads in every type of laundry load?
Yes. The fabric-safe formula is designed for everyday laundry, towels, bedding, activewear, kids' clothes and more. You can adjust the amount of beads based on load size and how strong you want the scent.
Are these scent booster beads safe for all washing machines?
Yes. The beads are compatible with standard, high-efficiency (HE), front-load and top-load washers, and they are safe for use in shared laundromat machines and in-unit apartment laundry setups.
Can I use these scent booster beads with Downy fabric softener?
Yes. The beads are designed to layer with Downy fabric softener for a combined softness and longer-lasting freshness system. Add beads to the drum and softener to its dispenser as usual.
What is included in the package?
The package is a single 13.4 oz bottle of Downy April Fresh In-Wash Scent Booster Beads. Nothing else is needed — just add them to your regular laundry routine. No measuring cup or additional accessories are required.
Are these beads safe for sensitive skin?
The formula is designed to be fabric-safe across all load types. If you or someone in your household has very sensitive skin, start with a smaller amount of beads and adjust based on comfort.
Will the beads stain or leave residue on my clothes?
No. The in-wash scent booster beads are designed to dissolve completely during the wash cycle, leaving no sticky or gritty residue and no stains on your laundry.
What is the difference between scent booster beads and fabric softener?
Fabric softener primarily softens fibers and reduces static, while scent booster beads are designed to add a long-lasting fragrance to fabrics. The two products can be used together for added softness and freshness.
