Scented laundry beads have become a popular addition to the laundry routine, offering a convenient way to keep linens smelling fresh. However, it’s important to use them correctly to avoid potential staining issues. Daniel Skelly, a formulations scientist at Snuggle, emphasizes the proper usage of these beads to prevent residue and stains on clothing.
To use scented beads effectively, it is crucial to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Skelly advises adding the beads to the washing machine drum before putting in the clothes to prevent direct contact and potential staining. Avoid using scented beads in quick wash cycles as they may not fully dissolve, leading to residue on the garments.
When it comes to water temperature, Skelly suggests using warm or hot water to ensure the beads dissolve properly. Opting for dye-free options can also help prevent colorants from transferring to your clothes. By following these tips, you can enjoy the long-lasting freshness of scented beads without the risk of unwanted stains or residue.
