How to Use Laundry Scent Boosters in a 20°C Wash

A 20°C wash can be a practical choice for lightly soiled everyday laundry, but not every laundry additive is designed to perform in the same way at lower temperatures. Always check both the garment care label and the instructions supplied with the product.

Can Scentrovert scent boosters be used at 20°C?

Yes. Scentrovert Laundry® Extra Strong Scent Boosters are designed to work in a 20°C wash. They are added directly to the bottom of the drum before the clothes, rather than being placed in the detergent drawer or a separate laundry bag.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Start with an empty drum. Add your preferred amount of Scentrovert beads directly to the bottom.
  2. Add the laundry. Place clothing, towels or bedding on top without overfilling the machine.
  3. Add detergent as normal. Scent booster adds fragrance and does not replace laundry detergent.
  4. Select the correct programme. Choose 20°C only when it is appropriate for the fabric and level of soiling.
  5. Dry promptly. Remove the load when the cycle finishes and follow the garment care labels.

How much should you add?

Fragrance strength is personal, so begin with a smaller amount and increase it over later washes if you want a stronger result. Load size, fabric type, drying method and storage can all change how noticeable a fragrance feels.

When might 20°C not be appropriate?

A cooler cycle is not automatically right for every load. Heavily soiled items, certain household linens or garments with specific hygiene requirements may need a different programme. Follow the washing-machine instructions, detergent guidance and care labels rather than choosing a temperature based only on fragrance.

Which Scentrovert scent should you choose?

Mountain Breeze gives laundry a crisp, clean fragrance. Peachy has a sweeter, juicy and creamy peach profile. Both use the same direct-to-drum method and come in a 1KG mega bag with added softener.
