Laundry Scent Boosters Guide

Laundry scent boosters add fragrance to your wash routine. They do not replace laundry detergent. Use detergent for cleaning, then add a scent booster when you want more fragrance.

What is a laundry scent booster?

A scent booster is a separate laundry product used to add fragrance during the wash. It gives you control over scent level because you can use detergent on its own or add a booster when you want a more noticeable fragrance.

Scent booster vs detergent

Detergent cleans. Scent boosters add fragrance. They are different product jobs, so a scent booster should be used alongside detergent rather than instead of it.

Scent booster vs fabric conditioner

Scent and fabric care are also different jobs. A fragrance booster is primarily about scent. A fabric care product focuses on how fabrics feel and are cared for. Some people use one, some use both, depending on the routine they prefer.

How much scent booster should I use?

Follow the directions on the product packaging and adjust within the recommended amount for the fragrance level you prefer. If you are sensitive to fragrance allergens, review the ingredient and allergen information before use.
