You changed the scent and didn't warn customers.

It doesn't smell like Downy April Fresh!!! you ruined it. Why? I remember my grandmother using Downy in the 1970s and I bought this and it's entirely different.I finally have a top load washer so I thought I'd use liquid fabirc softener. Downy is expensive but I wanted that scent. Why did you change it?

Downy fabric enhancer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Downy brand is my absolute favorite! It keeps my clothes smelling fresh for a long time. Downy also does a great job with keeping my daughter's uniforms fresh and that's not an easy task!! My 14 year old daughter plays soccer and runs track and is also a teenager and keeping her clothes fresh is something only the Downy brand can do!! Our clothes are always soft, fresh and free of static when I use Downy.

Not the original scent

I have used Downy April Fresh fabric softener for longer than I can remember, and have NEVER considered using anything else. The last bottle that I bought smelled awful - not clean or fresh and definitely not the same scent that I've used for 20 odd years. I went back to the store the next day and opened and smelled every bottle I could reach. They all stink. Bring back the original scent Downy!

They MUST have WATERED it down!!!

It seems they have totally watered it down. It is so thin and liquid it pours out so fast. It doesn't even seem to make the clothes come out with a fresh scent much anymore now either. I feel it is not worth the money ANYMORE. It was never THIS THIN and I am now changing my brand. I will not throw my money down the drain. I always loved this one for years and used nothing else....not anymore

So soft & smells incredible

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This smells absolutely incredible! Not only does it leave my clothes super soft but it also keeps them fresh for days!! Out of a 34oz bottle I’ll get about 40 loads worth of soft clothes. Can we also just talk about how cute the cap is? Looks like a cute little flower. You can’t go wrong with Downy! I received this complimentary to test & im so thankful I did. I’m buying this once my bottle runs out. Definitely recommend

Kid friendly soft

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Downy fabric softener. It always makes all of our laundry smell clean, it’s got a great fresh scent and the soft feeling it leaves is priceless. My children can lay on on their blankets all day long just to enjoy the softness.

Must have!!!

Can't beat the smell!!!! This stuff is so strong and smells AMAZING and the freshest scent out there. Leaves my clothes soft and moisturized. I will forever keep using this! Best fabric softener on the market. Can't beat the value for the amount you get either

I would definitely reccomend!

I have not traditionally used fabric softener in my laundry. When I received my free sample I started using it with my sheets and towels and wow, we all LOVE it. I never thought fabric softener would make such a difference! ! My girls both have sensitive skin and we have had no issues with adding Downy to our laundry.

Works Like a Charm

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has been a long time since I used a liquid fabric softener in the wash. Downey’s April Fresh Fabric Softener has made a believer out of me. First and foremost, the loads of clothes I did over the last few days have come out April fresh with no static cling. In our climate static cling is a major issue. There was none. The clothes looked great coming out of the dryer, and the sheets and towels have a lovely scent. Guess that I will be purchasing Downy April Fresh Softener one the bottle sent to me is empty. Thanks for allowing me to try this wonderful product.

What happened?!

Dear Downey Makers:Today, about half way through the bottle, the liquid TURNED INTO SLUDGE! WHY does my Downey turn to thick, foamy sludge? I tried to thin it out by adding water to the container, but that didn't even phase the thickness. Please help me and probably other users understand what's going on.Tharon Foster
