No more waiting for the rinse cycle, or forgetting to add fabric softener at the right time.

With the Downy Ball, liquid fabric softener (of any brand) is automatically released during the rinse cycle in your washing machine.

To use, all you do is pour any liquid fabric softener of your choice up to the fill line in your fabric softener's measuring bottle cap, and then pour into the ball, pull the cork closed, and drop it in at the start of the wash on top of your fabrics.


  • No more waiting for the rinse cycle; Downy Ball dispenses softener automatically during the rinse cycle
  • Easy to pour, easy to measure, easy to clean
  • Designed for use in traditional top loading (non-HE) washing machines
  • Makes adding fabric softener to your laundry simple

  • When the laundry reaches the rinse cycle, the movement of the washer unplugs the ball, and the fabric softener is automatically dispensed into the rinse water right when it needs to be.

    Ball size: 3.1 x 3.5 x 3.5 inches
