Scent beads can be used in both machine and handwashing. For machine washing, place the scent beads directly into the washing machine drum, avoiding placing them in the detergent or fabric softener dispenser.
The amount used can be adjusted based on personal preference for fragrance intensity and the thickness and quantity of clothing.
Scent beads are designed for cold water washing, and their scent retention is better than with hot water.
Characteristics:
Natural, gentle, and non-irritating: The scent of scent beads is not purely perfumed but has a natural aroma suitable for sensitive skin.
Low long-term cost: Although scent beads may have a higher initial price, their long-term cost is relatively low due to their long-lasting fragrance that requires infrequent use.
Precautions:
When using scent beads, choose products that do not contain harmful ingredients like formaldehyde or fluorescent agents to ensure safety.
If washing a mix of colored clothing, it is recommended to add a color catcher sheet first, followed by the scent beads after a short while. This prevents any chemical reactions between the two products.
