Less fabric softener same price

I am so sick and tired of multi million dollar businesses nickel and diming everyday americans so they can line their pockets more. This particular bottle is 150 oz. The previous softener was 170 oz. May not seem like alot, but that is at least 10 loads of laundry that i WILL NOT have fabric softener for. I am so done with this. Downey is officially on my DO NOT BUY list. I already have to skimp and save, fabric softener is a LUXERY, and it is one i will not be buying again. Fool me once shame on you! Thankfully, i only bought it once. I had not bought downey for over a year, bought it this one time because it was on discount. NEVER AGAIN!!!

April Downy Fresh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It Smells great ands makes the clothes so soft! Its a great addition to washing your clothes. There is never a need to add a fabric sheet in the dryer as you just add the liquid to the wash. Great product. Highly recommend.

Downy Fabric Softener

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time ever using Downy fabric softener and I have to say it is fantastic. My clothes feel great and smell fabulous. Even my 15 year old told me how great his clothes smell. Not to mention, it makes my whole house smell good too. I will definitely be buying Downy again!

Smell so fresh and so clean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love a good fabric softener. I don't know how people do laundry without one. I find that sometimes, even with one, clothes can be a little rough. After using Downy though, my clothes are soooo soft. They smell amazing. Everything is so much nicer with this stuff. I always use twice the recommended amount but with this one, I used the correct amount and it was perfect!

Smells nice.

I am not a fan of fabric softeners because of all the chemicals. I did use it in a load of laundry to say that I used it. It made the clothes smell nice, and have a softness to them. But I won't be using this again. Thank you for the sample. I tried this bottle out I did try Downy out for free through Influenster, but all the opinions are my own.

Downy Challenge

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first opened the bottle, I was not too excited about the scent- it was strong and very floral- but I was pleasantly surprised with the results! The first load I did was towels that I hung on our clothes lines. Normally my kids hate this, they say it makes the towels "crunchy". The downy helped them retain their softness. I've used it for 2 more loads that I put in the dryer since then and they are so soft, but no residue that you sometimes find using softners. Also, the smell once they are dried is totally wonderful and I am hooked!

Downey Soft

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised by this Downey Soft. I had not used liquid softener for years because it always left stains. I followed the directions and added the water and it worked great. The clothes were not stained blue and smelled fresh. There was no static cling and I plan on buying this product instead of my usual softener. Downey you have improved your product and I am a believer

Wonderful fabric softener

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy fabric softener is my old faithful time tested softener. I have sensitive skin and certain detergents/softeners will cause me to itch or give me a rash. I have never had an issue with Downy. The April Fresh scent is like flowers blooming on a spring day. The aroma is nice and it lasts for a while on my clothes and bed sheets. My guests always compliment the smell of my bed sheets when they visit me. Clothes come out super soft and fluffy after using Downy softner. I have been been even able to revive some old beach worn towels with my Downey!

Downy - A Simple Classic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Whenever I think of liquid fabric softener, I always think of that iconic blue bottle of Downy. It's exactly what you'd expect a top-of-the-line fabric softener to be - a product that gets my clothes conditioned while making everything smell amazing (including my house!). To be specific, I used the 34-ounce size of Ultra Downy April Fresh. I like that it's concentrated and that I didn't have to pour a lot to get its full benefits. As a disclaimer, I know that some people might be sensitive to fragrance, and I wouldn't recommend this product to them. Other than that, this product is a great addition for anyone who uses liquid fabric softener, and I'd tell them to buy it without hesitation. When I'm reviewing products, I always like to include the backs of the bottles, just so people can see the usage directions and get the feeling you'd get if you were to walk into the store and pick up the bottle to examine it (because the front label IS pretty, but it's not very informative to a discerning consumer, like me).

Freshest Scent Softer Clothes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A few days ago my dryer broke down so I have been hanging clothes on the line to dry. I was going heavy on my normal fabric softener because the first load I air dried was NOT SOFT to say the least. It was almost stiff and crisp! Eventually I ran out of my regular stuff and decided to try April Fresh Downy mostly because April fresh reminded me of Fresh Spring Air. Let me just say....WOW! The smell is literally fantastic! It reminds me of exactly of the way clothes should smell fresh from the line with the crisp spring air! I also found that Downy brand far surpassed my regular brand in softness too! After using the downy, even with my air dried laundry you couldn't even tell they were not fresh from the dryer!!! My clothes smell SO FRESH and SO SOFT!! April fresh as a scent itself is the BEST scent on the market . It reminded me of a cross between fresh linen and waterfalls. I wont be going without Downy April Fresh again, I am so glad I tried it!!
