In addition to our well-known laundry strips, we are adding a new product to our range that many of you have asked for: Laundry Beads.
But what exactly are laundry beads? How do they differ from traditional fabric softener, and how do you ensure your laundry retains that lovely scent for weeks? We'll explain.
The basics: What are laundry beads?
Laundry beads, also known as scent boosters, are small, solid granules that you sprinkle directly into the drum of your washing machine. Unlike liquid detergent or fabric softener, these beads dissolve slowly during the wash cycle. This allows the fragrances to penetrate deep into the fibers of your clothes, towels, or bedding.
The result? A scent that is much more intense and lasts longer than with detergent alone. Ideal for items you want to smell extra fresh, such as your sports clothes or duvet cover.
Laundry Beads vs. Fabric Softener: The Difference
People often confuse laundry beads with fabric softener, but their function is entirely different:
-
Fabric softener creates a greasy layer over the fibers to make them soft. This is often bad for the machine (grease residue) and reduces the absorbency of towels.
-
Laundry beads are purely for fragrance. They do not contain softening fats, making them safer for your machine and preserving the quality of your textiles.
Why laundry beads and laundry strips are a golden match
Our Lavoa laundry strips are known for their effective cleaning and subtle, fresh scent. But we understand that sometimes you want that little extra luxury for your bedding.
By adding a small amount of laundry beads to your wash with laundry strips, you create the perfect balance: the strips do the heavy lifting (cleaning), while the beads provide a burst of fragrance that can last in your wardrobe for up to 12 weeks.
How to use the scent boosters?
Using the scent boosters is simple and fits perfectly into your current routine. No hassle with liquids or sticky caps; you determine the intensity yourself.
-
Step 1: Dose with the cap. Use the cap to measure out the laundry beads. For a standard wash, 25 grams is perfect (check the handy measuring line on the inside). Want your bedding to stay extra fresh for longer? Feel free to add a little more.
-
Step 2: First the beads, then the laundry. Sprinkle the beads directly into the empty drum. This way, they dissolve immediately when water is added, and the fragrances penetrate deep into the fibers.
-
Step 3: Add your laundry strip. Place your Lavoa laundry strip on top of the laundry. The strip does the heavy cleaning, the beads provide the experience. A clever combination for a truly fresh result.
-
Step 4: Start washing. Start your program as usual. The beads dissolve completely, even at low temperatures. The result? A fresh scent that lingers in your wardrobe for weeks.
Lavoa Tip: Why beads first?
By putting the beads into the drum before the laundry, you prevent them from getting stuck between the rubber seal of the door. This ensures that every bead dissolves completely and does its job. Smart move, right?
