How to use in wash scent booster and perfume

The secret to long-lasting laundry fragrance

We all love the smell of fresh laundry straight from the washing machine, but that scent often fades far too quickly. If you are looking for a way to achieve a long-lasting, powerful fragrance that lasts for weeks, in-wash scent boosters and laundry perfumes might be just what you need. Care+Protect is a brand created by professionals from Haier Europe, home to globally recognised appliance brands such as Hoover and Candy. This expertise allows us to create effective solutions that provide a lasting aroma. This guide will teach you how to use in-wash scent boosters and perfumes to get the best results.

Scent Boosters vs. Fabric Softeners: What is the Difference?

While fabric softeners soften clothes and reduce static, in-wash scent boosters are specifically designed for fragrance. The two products work in different ways and should not be confused. Understanding the key differences can help you choose the right product for your laundry needs.

Feature	Scent Boosters	Fabric Softeners
Primary Purpose	Adds strong, long-lasting fragrance	Softens clothes and reduces static cling
Added During	Beginning of wash cycle	Rinse cycle
Formula	Solid beads or crystals	Liquid
Effect on Fabrics	No softening or cleaning effect	Coats fibres to enhance softness and reduce static
Fragrance Strength	Very strong and enduring	Mild to moderate
Residue Risk	Low risk of residue (when used correctly)	Can build up on clothes over time

In-wash scent boosters and laundry perfumes provide a much stronger fragrance that is designed to last longer than the scent from a regular fabric softener. They are a great way to revitalise sportswear and other items that hold onto stubborn odours.

A Simple Guide to Using Scent Boosters

Using in-wash scent boosters is easy, and a simple change to your routine can make a huge difference to the freshness of your laundry.

Measure the Right Amount: The amount you use depends on the size of your load and how strong you want the fragrance to be. Start with a small amount and increase it if you want a bolder scent.
Add Directly to the Drum: Scent booster beads should be added directly to the empty washing machine drum before you add your clothes. This ensures they dissolve completely and disperse the fragrance evenly. Do not add them to the detergent drawer or fabric softener compartment.
Add Laundry and Detergent: Once the scent boosters are in the drum, add your laundry and regular detergent. Scent boosters are not a replacement for detergent and do not clean clothes.
Run the Wash Cycle: Simply run your chosen wash cycle as you normally would. The beads will dissolve and infuse your laundry with a long-lasting, fresh scent.

The Power of Laundry Perfume

Laundry perfume is a highly concentrated product designed to provide a rich, intense scent that lasts even longer than a typical scent booster. Unlike scent boosters that go in the drum, laundry perfumes are added to the fabric conditioner tray in your washing machine. The fragrance in the perfume bonds to the fibres of your fabric, ensuring the scent is not washed away and is reactivated each time it comes into contact with moisture. Our laundry perfumes are top quality and highly effective, as approved by the Good Housekeeping institute.

Conclusion: Make Your Laundry Smell Amazing

By using in-wash scent boosters or laundry perfumes, you can achieve a long-lasting, fresh fragrance that goes beyond what traditional detergents and fabric softeners can provide. It's a simple change that can elevate your entire laundry routine.
