I have always loved the downy fragrances but the liquid fabric softeners tend to build up on my clothes over a period of time making them look dull/dingy quicker. Plus the fragrance faded sooner than I like. After trying the beads I am happy that the fragrance is longer lasting. Time will tell about the residue. Note that I tested Downy Fresh Protect for free, but all opinions are my own.

I received this product for free to test, and all opinions are my own. This product made my laundry smell amazing as it was washing. I used an unscented detergent, and could smell it working while the laundry was washing and when I opened it up to put it in the dryer, my spouse commented on how great the smell was from a room away! I love these, and will be definitely purchasing them in the future.

This product was very easy to use and smells so good! I've never used any type of odor shield or scent booster before in my wash, but I'm completely hooked now! I'm going to pick up some more of this and also tell everyone I know to try it! I especially liked using this product with towels, because it's so hard to keep towels smelling fresh and clean. I also think it would be great for using on sports clothes and items after use! I received this product free for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Being in Florida. We do tons of loads of wet beachy and chloride-smelling towels, bathing suits and cover ups in the summertime. I was excited to finally see a product that was specifically deodorant for my clothes! And the Fresh Protect April Fresh In-wash Odor Shield did not disappoint. My towels and bathing suits came out smelling AMAZING! I highly recommend, especially for Florida Mommas like me! (I was provided a complimentary sample of this product for my unbiased review.)

The smell last so long! As soon as I took my sheets out of the dryer, I could smell its fresh aroma without it being overpowering. The scent lasted for a few days. Note: I received this product for free in exchange for reviewing it, but my opinions are my own.

I recently received a sample of Fresh Protect April Fresh. I liked the smell in its package and decided to use it in my sheets. I just put it in my front loader and threw in the sheets w the detergent. The scent is so light and refreshing. Even my husband commented on the pleasant scent. The sheets came out of the dryer very soft. I will definitely purchase one my next trip to the store!

These smell amazing! I literally am so in love with them. I will definitely be repurchasing them in the future. The only issue I have with these is of you wash them on cold with towels or something they stick to them. That's just a personal issue nothing to do with the actual product.

I was a little skeptical about using these in the washer machine but they actually work great! They made our stinky gym clothes smell so much better and it's not an overpowering smell. Just fresh! I received this product for free to test but my opinions are my own.

I received a complimentary sample to test and review via Influenster. The opions below are my own. Loved the smell, and the softness of my laundry after only using once. I have since went on to purchase the product at a local store. I believe the price to be fair in consideration of the quality of the product. I would recommend the product to family and friends.

I have never used a fabric softener before and was happily surprised with the difference using Downy made. I tried it out on my large bed comforter and it came out smelling amazing! It has left a long lasting smell. I tested Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free but all opinions are my own!
