[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I used to be a gain fabric softener user. I got the Downey softener and it was a game changer! First of all, I used it on a Friday, and forgot to switch my clothes around before a camping trip. Came home on Sunday, thought I’d have to re wash them from sitting in the washer all weekend. Expecting to smell mildew, my clothes still smelled fresh! For a busy mom like me, that’s definitely a win in my book! Secondly, when they were finally dry, they were so soft, and better then I could ever imagine. I couldn’t ever say enough good about Downey fabric softener. I’m a believer and I’m making the switch!

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy has quite a few claims regarding the benefits: Softens, freshens, reduces wrinkles, reduces fuzz and pills, prevents static, keeps colors bright. On some it is hard to tell if makes a substantial difference but it seems to work. I washed a sweater recently that previously came back from the cleaners a touch faded and a little pilly. The next time I washed it myself and used Downy. It looked good after the wash. I was afraid it would further fade or pill more but it did not and if anything looked a little better. In general, the reduced static and fresh scent are very noticeable benefits. While hard to tell if there are less wrinkles, and reduced fuzz and pills, I am not noticing wrinkles and fuzz/pilling problems so it is difficult to argue that it does not work. For the more obvious benefits alone it is worth it. A little goes a long was as opposed to some of the cheaper fabric softeners out there and if you get some of the other benefits over time it is an added bonus.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy is usually one of my go to fabric softeners and like the other scents this one does not disappoint. The scent is very pleasant and not too strong, it lasts for weeks too. I like the consistency of the softner It isn't too runny.It leaves clothes, blanket and towels super soft and static free. I noticed compared to other softeners there is less wrinkling after being dried, which is another plus! Definetly would recommend to anyone and will continue to use for sure.

Super disappointed by recent purchase of Downy! Noticed something looked off about the packaging when I bought it and realized when I got home that the Downy has downsized it's container from 170 oz to 150 oz. What a shame they decided to do this. Then they wonder why people aren't buying their products!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As soon as I opened up the box I was eager to try it so I immediately started a load of wash. Not only were the clothes soft, but they were of perfect amount of scent. I hate being overpowered by other fabric softeners, and this made my day. Definitely will buy and recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the smell of the product. However, it doesn't explain exactly how to use it. I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be used as a detergent or if it was an additive to the detergent. I went ahead and used it as the detergent and it definately made my clothes smell nice and soft. I gave it 3 stars because I wish it had thorough directions on the label.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy has a great fresh smell. It seemed strong at first opening of the bottle but the clothes came out with a light pleasant smell. Downy does a great job of making clothes feel soft and helps with wrinkles if you remove the clothes from the dryer right away. No need to iron! Downy is a good quality product and I would not use any other brand. It does it all!

I've been using Downy April Fresh for what feels like all of my life because I loved the smell of it. The last two bottles I purchased were not the same product. The fresh smell was missing, and I don't even like the way it smells any more. I will be looking for another product, and hopefully I will find something I liked as well as the one you had before you changed the formula.

It is amazing!!! My husband works for a warehouse and his clothes get so dirty and smelly! So I usually just wash it with detergent but the smell is still there! But then when I got this product from Influenster it changed everything! Once I started using it not only made his clothes smell good but they made them so soft! He's very happy and so am I. I got Downy fabric softener for free from Influenster to test but the opinions are DEFIANTLY all mine!!!! :)
