Pleasantly Surprised

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had never used a liquid fabric softener before so I really didn’t know what to expect but I honestly wasn’t expecting much. Well, I was pleasantly surprised! For starters, my clothes smelled so fresh and the fragrance was not overwhelming. My clothes actually felt softer as well, especially the towels. I also noticed that it did prevent static as well. I did not notice any difference in wrinkle reduction, pilling and fuzz, or color protection. I honestly wasn’t checking for those issues and it may just be too soon to tell. The only issue I had was that, with my washer, I had to use the Downy ball. The ball did not always drain properly but that was not an issue with the fabric softener itself.

Smells good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My laundry smelled really good while the washer was running, but I am not sure I am totally sold on the product. I wanted to try this product because at this time of year my clothes smell like sweat and deodorant by the end of the day and sometimes that smell is nearly impossible to totally remove so I was hoping this product could cover the smell. I was a little concerned that "April Fresh" would have some kind of pollen or something in it that would cause allergic reactions, but it seems the smell is created by more of a synthetic process. It smells incredible while the washer is running. The reason I am not sold on this product, however, is that my clothes came out of the wash feeling more worn out. I'm not sure if it is just the feel this product gives the clothes or if it really is hard on the clothing, but that makes me nervous. I'd rather keep using fabric deodorizer to fight the smells than have to buy new clothes more often. As time goes on I suppose I will find out whether this is really deteriorating the fabrics or if this is normal. I also noticed that the smell while the washer is running doesn't seem to really stick around very long once the clothes are removed from the wash, so I am not sure this will even perform that well. Overall, I do think this product was worth a try, but I am not sure whether it is something I will purchase again unless my concerns are assuaged by the time this bottle runs out. If you are washing kids clothes and would love a floral-y fresh smelling house on laundry day I think this is a wonderful product because the kids'll grow out of their clothes before they have a chance to wear them out anyway, but if you are washing adult clothes, I'd proceed with caution...but do keep it away from the kids. If it spills it is very sticky but until it dries, cleans up like spilled oil - you want to avoid spills if you can.

My favorite fabric softener

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always prefer liquid softeners than sheet one. I think liquid softeners always do the job better. Downy is leader in this category and rightfully so. It leaves no residue and my all clothes are feeling fresh and soft! The mind smell lingers for days!!! My closet is happy and fragrant!!! Loved this product and will definitely recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a good fabric softener.

Fresh and soft

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy makes a huge difference in your clothes! Nothing better than pulling clean sheets out of the dryer that smell good and then lay down at night with that same great smell. Downy left all of my laundry smelling and feeling great, highly recommend!

Great for line dry clothing

Most of my clothes never go into the dryer, so using a liquid fabric softener has really changed the feel of my clothes. They feel noticeablely more comfortable and smell fresh to boot. I received a free sample from influenster and it has made me a fan.

What a great product!

I received a complimentary sample of this Downy liquid softener from Influenster for reviewing purposes, all opinions are my own. I've been using this product for a long time and it is definitely a must have! My clothes feel super soft and smell awesome! I've never had any issue using this in my HE washer, either. Did I mention how affordable this stuff is? There's nothing I love more than that first whiff of April freshness when I crawl into bed.

Another quality downy product, new scent

I've used downy products for a while now but never this scent. I was initially concerned because it seemed to be over powering. I did a few loads and was very pleased with the mild presence of the scent and how fluffy and soft my clothes were still. Love downy and would completely recommend this product. I was given this product free for product testing and all comments and opinions are my own.

So fresh and so clean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first time using a liquid fabric softer and I was very pleased with Ultra Downy. I used a detergent that was scent free because I wanted to get the full effect from Downy. It smells wonderful like flowers on a soft rainy day in spring. My clothes came out soft and fluffy and the scent isn't overwelming it was just right. I will continue to use this product.

Smell of heaven

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Downy softener forever and was excited to see they have enhanced the product. Downy April Fresh Liquid Fabric Enhancer is a win-win. The smell itself is a calming feel good smell. My clothes not only smells great but they are soft. My sheets are so soft as well as my towels. My work clothes come out soft and I don't have to iron my scrub shirts any longer which was a task I hated. Best of all is that one bottle contains so much to help maintain my clothes, towels, sheets and undergarments. 

April Fresh Downy+laundry day=Happy Family

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had previously tried to save money by purchasing dryer sheets instead of liquid Downy. I was less than pleased by the outcome. I decided to stick with the old family favorite of April fresh Downy. I always know when the rinse cycle gets going. The smell from the Downy permeates the entire household. My whole home ends up smelling April Fresh. Also, my husband wanted to know why our towels were SO soft lately. I told him that I went back to using April Fresh Downy. He told me not to skimp on that anymore...it was worth the few dollars!
