It's okay

This fabric softener is okay but not one of my favorites. It leaves build-up in the machines after a while. I do not have this problem with the other brands I use. The scent also doesn't last very long. Overall, it's okay but after trying it many times over the past 20 years I've decided not to repurchase this brand.

reply from Downy

We're sorry to hear that this was your experience, as we can assure you that we have many quality checks in place to ensure that you can get the best possible results with Downy. It may be helpful to know that any liquid fabric softener can build up in a dispenser over time because a small amount is left behind after each use and dries in the dispenser. We recommend that you check the manufacturer’s manual for instructions on how to clean the inside of the washer and the dispenser. We'll make sure to share your comments with the rest of our team, and we'd also be happy to learn more. When you're able, please give us a call at (800) 688-7638.

Less Ironing - YEA!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried Downy fabric softener in 10 washer loads. My clothes came out of the dryer with fewer wrinkles and they felt softer than I expected. Clothes that I did not put in the dryer were a little less wrinkled than they normally would be, but they felt much softer than without the Downy. I am not a fan of many fragrances and I did not care for the April Fresh smell. I found a non-scented Downy that is every bit as wonderful so I'm set for all the extra washing that just comes with summer. It is important to read the directions and not use this product on the items listed on the bottle, such as microfiber cleaning cloths.

Smell so fresh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always been a fan of downy. Been using downy for years now. I always use this for my laundry. Clothes smell so fresh. They are soft and no static. This bottle lasts you long time. Fragrance is mild not overpowering. Always recommend downy to everyone.

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.

Downey Fabric Softener

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Downey! Have I mentioned that lately? Not only does Downey hold a humorous place in our family’s hearts but it also holds our clothes together. Healthier clothes, healthier family right? When my youngest was a bit younger we were all sitting in the living room watching television together. As we were nearing a birthday every commercial for some great new toy that came on the air also brought an excited “I want THAT for my birthday” even if there was little understanding of what the item was, after weeks of lead up to the birthday a commercial for Downey Fabric Softener came on the air and I ‘might’ have encouraged the excited child to request Downey Fabric Softener for their birthday. For weeks it became included in each rehearsed list of wishes for gifts! I love the way April Fresh smells! It makes our clothes soft and the smell lasts for a long time! I use it on my sheets so that I have a fresh smelling every night!

Brings a softness to everyday rain clouds

Ultra Downy April Fresh fabric softener brings a softness to everyday rain and clouds. It puts a sunshine in your clothing that smells good and makes your heart smile. I would recommend this product for all fabric softening needs. I tested this product free of charge from Influenster.

It's not my 1st rodeo w/Downy! I've use it since I was around 13,my mom uses it,my sisters use it,and I use it. I hope in the future my own daughter uses this as well! You can say it has been int he family for generations,and it has never let me down. FTC: I got this product complimentary for testing purposes,but all opinions are my own!

Best clean scent.

April Fresh liquid Downy is the best product without an overwhelming perfume smell. Leaves clothes smelling fresh and feeling soft. Tried another scent but the strong smell was overwhelming and had to re-wash everything to avoid the headache and cough.

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.

smells so good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I sometimes have reactions to new products when washing my clothes, so I am a little guarded when trying them. I tested the Downy on the towels first. They smelled Downy fresh, and were soft. I am happy to report that I did not have a reaction. So I moved on to dark clothes, shirts and pants, and still good. So the firest good thing, no reaction. Second, was that everything smelled spring fresh. The other nice thing is that the clothes felt a little softer. I look forward to putting on fresh sheets on the bed, and using fresh towels. Downy gets a big thumbs up from me.
