Learn how much Sweet Ash Scent Booster to add per load, with simple steps for full, medium, and small loads so your laundry smells fresh without overscenting.
Quick answer
For a standard full load, start with one capful of Sweet Ash Scent Booster. For small loads, use about half a capful. Adjust up or down based on how strong you want the scent, but never fill above the cap’s max line.
Why load size and washer type change the amount
Scent boosters work best when they have enough fabric to cling to and enough water to dissolve evenly. A small load with a full capful can leave a concentrated scent in one spot, while a large load with too little may come out barely scented. High-efficiency washers use less water, so start with the lower end of the range and add more only if needed.
When to use less than a capful
If you are washing delicate fabrics, athletic wear, or items that will be worn near the face (like scarves or pillowcases), use half a capful or less. Also reduce the amount if you plan to layer the booster with a scented detergent or fabric softener—scents can build up quickly.
How to measure Sweet Ash Scent Booster for any load
- Check your load size: Sort laundry as usual and judge the drum fill: a full load fills the drum about three-quarters, a medium load about half, and a small load about one-quarter. If you’re unsure, err on the smaller load size and use less booster.
- Start with the base amount: For a full load, use one capful (fill to the line). For a medium load, use three-quarters of a capful. For a small load, use half a capful. Never fill above the top line—more booster does not rinse away completely and can leave residue.
- Adjust for washer type: If you have a high-efficiency (HE) washer, reduce the amount by about 25% (e.g., use three-quarters of a capful for a full load) because less water is used. HE washers concentrate the scent; start lower and add only if laundry comes out too faint.
- Add the booster to the drum, not the dispenser: Pour the measured booster directly into the washer drum before adding clothes, or use a scent booster dispenser ball if your machine recommends it. Do not put it in the detergent drawer. Adding it to the drum helps it dissolve evenly and prevents clogs in the dispenser.
- Run the cycle and check the result: Wash as normal. After drying, smell a dry item (not damp, which can smell stronger). If the scent is too light, increase by a quarter capful next time; if too strong, reduce by a quarter capful. Keep a small notepad or note on your phone to track the amount that works for your typical loads.
