Smells so good!!!!

Downy fabric softener earns a solid 4 out of 5 stars for its overall performance. The scent is absolutely amazing—fresh, long-lasting, and not too overpowering, making laundry day feel a little more luxurious. The packaging is sleek and easy to handle, with a well-designed spout that helps avoid spills. In terms of effectiveness, Downy does a great job at softening clothes, reducing static, and leaving fabrics feeling smooth and refreshed. It also offers good value for the money, as a little goes a long way per load. However, its environmental impact is a slight drawback, as it contains some ingredients that aren’t the most eco-friendly. Despite that, it’s a great product for anyone looking to elevate their laundry experience with an incredible scent and noticeable fabric care.

This is the downy I used a kid. It’s truly amazing. Pros it smells wonderful, is very affordable, and the clothes are soft. Cons if it gets on your hands they will smell like downy for a while. I would change it by adding a downy ball to it to dispense the downy into the clothes. I do recommend this product.

Clean fresh and recyclable packaging. I have a front-loaded so I don't really use the cup, I just slide the box to the dispenser port and pour what I need. There is a holder at the top of the box for the cup to keep it off your machine plus the solution is white not blue so not dye on your machine.

Downy April Fresh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a fan of Downy for a very long time. I have tried less expensive brands but it comes out of the bottle looking like blue colored water. Downy makes my clothes soft and wrinkle free and smelling nice. It makes everything static free and makes the clothing fibers last longer. A little bit seems to go a long way, so even though Downy may cost more, the bottle lasts a long time. I usually choose the Clean Breeze scent because the name itself is so refreshing. I recently tried April Fresh for the first time and I am quite impressed with the scent from the moment I opened the bottle to the clothes I am wearing now that I washed yesterday. I am planning on sticking to Downy April Fresh for all my future laundry needs.

Downy new user

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been doing laundry for a very long timeand never used fabic softerner ever. Never even noticed where to put it and was too embarassed to ask a froend. My mom never used softener so why should I need too! Came across some downy april fresh fabric conditioner and life has changed! I can not believe the softness of my towels and clothes and the faint hint of fragrance. Not noticable but a clean smell that has brightened up my laundry days

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.

Liquid fabric softener

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great smell in washer, doesn't last in dryer. Have not noticed any decrease in wrinkles, but my husband noticed less static with our towels and sheets in the dryer. Cheaper option than scent boosters

Downy fabric softener

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tired this fabric softener with our bed sheets, and they smell amazing. I have never quite liked the fabric of the sheets I chose to use with this product, but it softened them up so nicely! The scent is so nice on the pillow cases, as well, and not too overwhelming. I would say I will never again wash my sheets without them, but the price may not allow that. Only reason for 4 stars.

Great product!

Downy is an Essential part of laundry in our household. I love how the fresh smell stays in the clothes so long. We have tried other things but always come back to downy. I received these products complimentary for testing purposes but buy it on my own as well!
