1st time using liquid softener

I have always been a believer in dryer sheets, it's what my mom used when I was growing up and it's what I've used for over 20 years. A few times over the years I've thought about trying liquid but I always worried it would be messy or that I'd forget to put it in the wash. I was really happy to receive this sample to try and started using it the next time I did laundry. What I noticed right away was the smell and how wonderful it was, not too heavy but very pleasant. I was also surprised to discover that it wasn't messy at all, the liquid softener is nice and thick so it pours without making a mess! And I really didn't need to worry about forgetting the softener, I just stored it right next to my detergent and found it easy and quick to add in before starting the wash. I've now used it in four loads of laundry and I love how fresh our clothes smell and I definitely notice the difference in the lack of static vs when I use a dryer sheet. We live in the high desert so it's very dry here and sometimes I need to add in 2 dryer sheets on large loads of laundry to remove all the static but this wasn't a problem for the Downy liquid. Overall I was very impressed and will be switching, after all these years, to Downy Liquid Softener!! I received a free sample bottle of Downy's April Fresh Liquid Fabric Softener from Influenster, this in no way influenced my opinion of the product.

Amazingly Fresh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I instantly felt like my clothes were transformed from first use. I really enjoy a lingering scent on my clothing after washing them. I have used lots of products and nothing delivers like Downy April Fresh. It is truly more than a fabric softener. I do believe it protects my clothing, softens it and makes it smell incredibly good. So easy to use, no mess at all. I love it and this is a staple in my laundry routine.

It’s a good product the scent just changed.

I love the old April Fresh Downy. Ever since the company made it concentrated it’s no where the same. You think it would be better but it’s not. I don’t buy it anymore. I wish I had thought to have done this review a long time ago so the company might would’ve switched Bach.

The smell is amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] THIS is hands down the only fabric softener I use! Right down to the same smell! This softener never fails me. It leaves my clothes so soft & smooth. The smell is so fragrant & last so long that I still smell it in some clothes I'm washing a week later!

LOVE this product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy is always my favorite fabric softener, and this scent is one of my top 3. The product, as always, does everything it claims to. The brand provides a reliable product that customers can always count on to do the job. Definitely would purchase again, 10/10

smell so good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I received my Downy in the mail and started by washing some throws I put on furniture due to having dogs laying on it. I washed them and they smell so good and are soft! I washed my blankets and pillow cases too and just love how great it smells. My cats sleep in the bed too with me and I think they even enjoy the softness and smell that came from the Downy. My daughter was over and she said what smells so good??? I wondered and then I asked her to smell my comforter I had used the downy on and sure enough it was the Downy Freshness. I love it. I will never ever do a load of laundry again without using Downy. It makes me happy and the smell and softness is so wonderful!

Amazing long lasting scent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always been a fan of Downy fabric softener. Why do I like to use Downy, besides the fact that it's a highly trusted brand? Reason one, it leaves my clothes smelling fresh and clean for days at a time!! Reason two, the amazing softness it adds back to the fabric, no matter how new or old it is!! Reason three, prevents wrinkles! Who likes to talk around looking like they rolled out of bed? I will continue to use Downy for years to come.

This product smells good, makes clothes soft

This makes my clothes smell so good and fresh! I normally do not buy scented liquid fabric softener but this stuff was so nice! It have a nice natural smell to my clothes after drying. I received a free sample of this fabric softener from influenster Vox box but all of these opinions are my own. I would recommend this product to others. I mean, you can never really go wrong with downy anyways :)

Downy Liquid Softener

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Downy Liquid Softener was great. I have always only used fabric softener sheets until now. After filling my laundry room the amazing scent from the liquid softener, I have switched to Downy Liquid Softener! I love it. The only negative was... When pouring the liquid into the cap, it drips from around the spout. The annoying drip comes from having to shake the bottle each time I use it. This wasn't a major problem. I still like the product.

Please bring back the old Downy

I have used Downy all of my life, the type that came to be known as April Fresh, which was a product that my Mother used since well before I was born! I used to get compliments from people all the time about how good my clothes always smelled, and I was always happy to pass along that it was all due to Downy. It always worked wonders at softening my clothes. I don't understand why such a fantastic product was ever changed. The smell is nothing like it used to be, and it does not last nearly as long. It doesn't soften nearly as well either, and I find the buildup in my fabric softener dispenser to be very annoying. The other new scents are too overpowering to consider using. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE bring the old formulation back! A lifelong Downy user is being forced to switch to another brand - something I would never have considered doing before.
