I of course signed up for both. The free Tide sample pack came with about 10 boosters which is AWESOME. Love when promoters provide you with enough product to really get to use it and experience it over time. And as can clearly be seen by the photo, I have since used up all my Tide stain release booster samples. The instructions for the boosters are pretty simple. You just add one booster to your laundry in the washer at the beginning of the laundry cycle when you add the detergent.
Not going to lie...I really didn't see much difference in the "quality" of my clean laundry from before I started adding the booster to after. Granted, I don't often experience stains on my clothes to really be able to tell if the booster was quintessential in removing them. I think the laundry detergent alone does a great job of doing the very things the booster promises. So ultimately, once I ran out of the Tide stain release boosters, I didn't run out to buy more.
This however was not the case for the Downy Un-stoppables Scent Booster. The photo depicts the REPLACEMENT products I have already purchased because I loved it so much! Downy sent a sample package that contained one use. Same simple instructions as the Tide boosters. Sprinkle a cap full of Un-stoppables directly in your laundry at the beginning of the laundry cycle and that's it. Once the clothes have finished in both the washer and the dryer, they smell divine. I love this product. So much so, I not only bought it in the "Fresh" scent (which is the scent Downy offered for its sample), I also purchased the "Lush" scent.
Bottom line, I totally recommend the Downy Un-stoppables. They are worth it for how great they leave your clothes smelling and subsequently your closet, dresser drawers and YOU when you're wearing the clothes. As far as the Tide stain release boosters are concerned, I think detergent alone, at least for me, is enough.
