I use Downy Unstoppables in-wash scent booster in the "fresh" scent. I sprinkle the little pellets on top of the load before adding water. You can use as little/much as you want. I use just enough so that my laundry has a fresh scent when it comes out of the dryer. If I bury my face in the items, I can smell the scent but it's definitely not overpowering. Not sure that anyone else could even smell it.

Sounds really nice.

I love the Purex Crystals in the blue bottle. Not over powering, just a nice light scent.

I use the downy scent boosters and really like those. I use them on everything but I don't use a whole cap full. I love the way things smell after washing with them and don't find them overpowering at all. Sams club has the best prices on them.

Nothing added to most loads. I use only natural, people & earth-friendly detergents, almost always unscented.

I add a few drops of tea tree oil to the water when washing sheets & towels. Adding vinegar is an option, too, but washing my clothes is enough to make them fresh. I do not want my clothes to smell like Downy or any other scent.

When I worked in a preschool, the kids would always bring freshly laundered blankets and sleeping bags to school on Monday. We would lay them out at nap time and I always loved opening one boy's bag in particular because his mother used Downey and it always smelled so clean and comforting. I wish I could use Downey in my wash, but I'm allergic to all scented laundry products.

I didn't care for the scented "crystals" or whatever they were. Expensive, too.

I'm happy with Tide with Febreeze. Nice clean smell!

We use Downy Unstopables. Hubby and I both LOVE the way it makes our laundry smell. Especially our sheets.

I find that most liquid laundry detergents leave a nice soft lingering scent. I would not want my clothes or sheets and towels to reek of scent. I do not use the dryer sheets as they leave a film all over your clothes which makes them look dirty eventually.

Purex makes scent beads that are a lot less expensive and they are awesome, there is nothing nicer than the scent of nice clean fresh laundry, and their beads deliver.

I use these and they are wonderful. The smell is not overpowering and they are cheaper than Downy crystals.
