All about the Downy Ball

The Downy Ball is designed to release Ultra Downy at the beginning of the rinse cycle. It’s a simple little device, but what a difference it will make to your routine!

We all like doing laundry right, but these days it's hard enough to keep up with the laundry - let alone remembering to add Ultra Downy to the rinse cycle if you don't have an automatic dispenser or a front-load washing machine. That's where the Downy Ball comes in. It's our automatic dispenser that releases at just the right time, so softness is made simple.

How It Works

The Downy Ball is designed to release Ultra Downy at the beginning of the rinse cycle. During the wash cycle, it floats quietly at the surface. Once the rinse cycle begins, the spinning motion of the washer pops the top, releasing Ultra Downy at just the right moment.

It’s a simple little device, but what a difference it will make to your routine!

Using the Downy Ball

1. To start, measure Ultra Downy fabric softener to the right fill line on your bottle’s cap, then pour into the Downy Ball.
2. Pull the ring tightly to close lid.
3. Then drop the ball in your washer at the start of the wash.

Note: If you have an older version of the Downy Ball (you’ll know by the dark blue collar), make sure the top lip is sealed on the outer rim.

Finding the Downy Ball

Many write us to say they can’t find the Downy Ball. It’s most often available in the laundry aisle at your favorite retailer, but if it isn’t, be sure to tell your local store manager. You can also purchase the Downy Ball online here at TheEssentials.com.

Important Reminders

• Remember, the Downy Ball should only be used with traditional, top-load machines.
• The Downy Ball is formulated for Ultra Downy, so don’t dilute or use Non-Concentrated Downy in the Downy Ball.
• Avoid overloading your washer, as this may inhibit the Downy Ball from releasing its contents completely.
• A little water left in the Downy Ball is normal. Simply pour it out before your next use.
