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.

Love this stuff

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think that Downy fabric softner is amazing! It's something that I hadn't used in a long while and was thrilled with the outcome! It left my clothes smelling nice and they were soft to the touch! A new staple in my laundry routine!

Soooo FRESH!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this stuff!!! My hubby is a steel worker and his work clothes get down right GROSS! Sometimes they need washed twice...it's that bad! I decided to give Downy April Fresh Fabric Conditioner a try. WOW! I could smell the clean fresh scent as soon as I took them out of the wash! But the real test was seeing if the scent "survived" the dryer! Oh my goodness!! Amazing!!!! Not a single wrinkle and they smelled April Fresh! And so soft, which is a pretty difficult task on heavy duty work uniforms! Absolutely incredible!!

Best fabric softener out there!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this product! I have tried it with every load and my clothes look, feel, and smell so much better than with just laundry soap. I especially love using it with my sheets and blankets. When I climb into bed it’s just so soft and smells so fresh. I even put a little in a spray bottle and added some water to spray into my curtains. Now my whole house smells fresh and clean. It’s just an inviting smell! I recommend this product for anyone who wants to have their clothes more fresh, soft, and smell so good. Also the smell lasts for weeks!

Love this stuff

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t used to be a fabric softener user. Once I spend a whole day running loads of laundry with fabric softener, I can honestly say I’ll probably never go back. With small children I do laundry every day. Sometimes clothes come out dry and stiff and the color fades fast sometimes sometimes my clothes were dry and staff or the color faded too fast. I have now found that with using downy fabric softener, my clothes are not only softer when I take them out, but the color is fading a lot less. I also enjoy the fresh scent The fabric softener leaves behind on my clothes. When I washed my sheets for my bed, it was so wonderful laying down and having them smell so fresh. I will never go back to not using fabric softener again. This is a life-changing move

Smells Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used this on my laundry yesterday and my clothes smelled amazing once they were completely dried. Kept smelling every clothing item before folding. Left my towels so soft unlike any other fabric softener I’ve used

Love the softness!

I used this product for the first time with my 7 year old's clothes so that he could enjoy some softness because he always notices when I've bought him something new. He says it's scratchy! I did notice the fabric was soft when it came out of the dryer. I could quite notice a lingering fragrance which is a little disappointing. I was hoping the fragrance would still be around. I was provided this product by Downy for free for testing purposes. All opinions are my own.

Best scent and quality

Downy has always been my fabric softener of choice. I just received a free sample to review but the opinions are my own. I love the smell and quality of this product. I never buy anything else. Clothes are noticeably softer. If enough water is not mixed in though it will stain clothes blue temporarily until washed again. If on dark clothes, shows up with a black light.

Perfect for my special clothes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to be honest, I haven’t used fabric softener in a very long time. It was one of those items I just stopped buying to cut costs. So I was very excited to give the Downy April Fresh Liquid Fabric Conditioner a try. Holy. Cow. Most of my clothes I hang dry. I worry about shrinkage or ruining the fabric. So softness is sometimes lost. Not after using this Downy Fabric Conditioner. My clothes are super soft after hanging them dry. Less wrinkles too! The clothes look just like they were brand new. One shirt in particular just looks so much brighter and new, and I’ve had it for years. The smell is so fresh without being over powering. After trying this product I think I will be adding it into my laundry routine again!

Thinned Product

Downy has been my go to product. The smell, softness and control of static cling had been dependable. I recently been noticing static cling on my clothes that caused me to notice the fresh smell was not as pronounced (I could almost live with this). But having my clothes cling to me, no way. You Downy have thinned. Downy has tried to pull the rug over our eyes. I AM BUYING WATER? and in turn am flushing my $$ down the drain, because this product no longer works. Be the product we have trusted for decades. Your customers are smart and we have chosen to buy a quality product because we knew it worked, at times spending a little more then on a product that did not work as well. Now it doesn't, and you have tried to fool us the consumer. Shame on you! If you had improved your product you would have announced it in Bold letter on your packaging. When you thin your product do you announce NOT SO IMPROVED, WATER ADDED! NO. Bring the old Downy back. Keep your life long Downy user.
