      Downy Unstopables should NOT be used in wax warmers or heated as they can cause health issues. The MSDS for this product states the product should be kept away from excessive heat and open flames.

    For at least 10 years I just put filtered water and softener in a spray bottle..I use it around the house and it also works if you washed a load of clothes and forgot about them over night. Sometimes if you forget to put softener in I spray them before I put them in the dryer😊

    Anyone who has a Dollar General near them I use the digital coupons for Gain products. Saturday you get $5 off of $25 and they almost always have Gain coupons on there. If you're not brand specific there may he others as well. Hope that helps! Thank you for sharing your ideas. This came up in my suggested videos today.

      I do that too. Been using that for years because it's natural and smells sooo good 😊 I did that before all of the essential oil stuff became so big. It stays smelling nice longer in my opinion but I do love the smell of Gain! Her homemade spray would be nice to use for a mist on curtains or bedding for the smell we love of climbing into fresh bedding at night.

    Have you ever considered that it might not be healthy to have so much of these in your house to breathe? Because most of these are to be used in washing machines and dryers, not for us to breathe. Just a thought. I admit they would make your house smell good.

    I don't use fabric softener/water or febreeze for furniture anymore as it leaves a residue that attracts and holds onto dirt.
    I use water and a few drops of essential oil, just make sure that the one you're using isn't toxic to cats/dogs if you have them. Some are.
    I also put dryer sheets under the couch cushions and down between cushion and arm rest on the couch the dogs lay on.

    I'm doing this now and same scent; however, I'm finding that they work best in smaller spaces. I will be trying them in a small sachet bags for my vehicle though. Overall is does work! Lol! Cheaper than buying the melts. Lol

      Yes I agree they work great in smaller spaces, which is exactly what I have around my home.

    Do you know whether or not this is actually non toxic?

    I use a candle hot pad and put the beads in a cup and turn it on.

    This was great ideal I did enjoy this on the diffuser it’s it hard to clean out

      Once you are done using the scent boosters in the oil diffuser, you want to use a cotton ball or paper towel to clean up with melted boosters so it's easy clean up. You can also re-use the scent boosters a few times cause the smell stays for a while.
