Quick answer

If you want a single product that cleans and adds a subtle, sophisticated scent, choose the Sweet Ash Everything Wash. For a longer-lasting fragrance boost that you control separately, go with the Sweet Ash Scent Booster. Many people use both together for layered, long-lasting freshness.

Cleaning power vs. fragrance longevity

The Everything Wash is a concentrated detergent that cleans clothes while imparting a refined fragrance. The Scent Booster, on the other hand, adds no cleaning power—it's purely for extending the scent life on fabrics. If your main goal is clean laundry with a pleasant smell, the Everything Wash alone may suffice. But if you want the scent to linger for days, especially on towels or activewear, the booster fills that gap.

Cost and usage flexibility

The Everything Wash costs less per ounce than the Scent Booster and serves a dual purpose. However, the booster gives you the freedom to adjust fragrance intensity independently of the detergent. For example, you can use an unscented detergent plus the Sweet Ash Scent Booster for a custom scent level. The trade-off is that you need two products and an extra step in your routine.

How to choose between them

  • Use Everything Wash alone when: You want a one-step solution that cleans and scents your laundry without extra products or steps. It's perfect for everyday loads where moderate fragrance is enough.
  • Add the Scent Booster when: You desire a stronger, longer-lasting scent—especially for linens, towels, or clothes you want to smell fresh for days. Simply toss the booster into the drum before adding clothes. For maximum longevity, use both the Everything Wash and Scent Booster in the same load.
  • Layer both for a signature scent: Start with the Everything Wash as your detergent, then add the Scent Booster. This gives you the cleaning power plus an extended fragrance that lasts beyond the wash cycle.
