[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Long long ago, I had a Downy ball and I'd use fabric softner. I think what changed for me, is that I went to college. And when you're broke? You spend your money on the detergent and dryer sheets. You don't think about buying the softner or any of the middle step stuff. Even if it was as simple as dropping the ball into the washer. So many years later in my professional life, it still wasn't a thought of mine. Sure, I wasn't a college kid anymore. Sure, I had the money for it. But if I wasn't using it for the longest time, why should I go back? My clothes feel fine, they smell decent after washing them? Its just unnecessary... ...I WAS WRONG! I love to shop at Goodwill and other thrift stores. And sometimes, there are things that just as much as you clean them, they just don't feel or smell right. Enter in the cutest elephant that you'd ever seen. He was well loved, and his blue stuffed corduroy body was well loved and appreciated. He still was fluffy, but there was something about him that wasn't quite right. Something didn't smell fresh after three trips through the laundry. And if I'm going to treasure this guy as much as the person before me? I want to make sure that I'm not smelling their funk. So I waved goodbye to my blue friend and set him gently in the washer holding onto a Downy ball filled with the April Fresh product. 30 minutes and a dryer cycle later? My little buddy was fresher than fresh! I used it later that week with my gym clothes. I'm used to my gym clothes being funky because I'll live out of a suitcase with some Febreeze as my only cure. Now? I want to see if I can convince the TSA that a Downy Ball filled with softner is an acceptable 2 oz carry on. Thank you Downy! You've made my blue friend brighter smelling and kept my wife happy with my gym clothes!

I miss the old scent. This new formula that has been out for a while is too strong. I open my washer after doing a load of laundry and the smell literally smacks me in the face when I open the door. I shouldn’t be choking on fumes from my bedding when trying to sleep because the fabric softener is too overpowering. On a side note— as other reviewers have mentioned, my one star review is changed to a four star review after selecting “preview” before posting.

Downy april fresh has always been a must have for me!! I just love how it leaves a beautiful scent to my laundry and oh so soft too! I could never do my laundry without it. It's like magic in a bottle because my clothes come out of the wash smelling like heaven (if heaven had a scent) and the softness it provides is like a big warm hug every time i put my clothes on. I tested this downy Fabric Softener for free, but all opinions are my own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to try more on different things but did first on towels, First off it is very hard to see the marking for ammount to add to machine. Second I thought the scent was very weak, I really didn't smell much, some might like that. Softness again I heard static when I removed wash, I was surprised about that. The rest of the claim really need more time. I just really didn't see a big difference from other Downy softeners. I think everyone should try this themselves because everyone washer , water are different so you could prefer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Downy! I used it for the first time last night on my blanket and sheets and they felt so soft and smelled heavenly! The scent is really soft and not over powering, and it really did make my sheets and blankets softer and fluffier. I would use it again and again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time ever using fabric softener and I think I'm in love. I never thought that the clothes needed fabric softener but man was I wrong. I have done multiple loads of the kids laundry with it and you can already see and feel the difference from their other clothes still in the closet. My kids have a lot of allergies and in the past they have complained of itchy clothes but not any more. Downy has been a great and helpful addition to my laundry routine.

I have been using Ultra Downy in April Fresh scent ever since I received it in my Influenster VOXBOX. I am very impressed with this product. It has been so amazing for my family of five and i. and I have to say that I'm pretty impressed! Our clothes are left feeling very soft and the scent is amazing! We ran out of the sample size very quickly and went and bought more, we are hooked!

I LOVE Downy April Fresh fabric softener. My mom used this when I was younger, and I use it in my household today. Not only does it make my family's clothes soft, but it makes them smell so fresh and clean! I have been using Downy softener for years, and will not switch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After dropping liquid fabric softener from my laundry routine several years ago, I was skeptical that I would enjoy this product. I couldn’t have been more wrong! I was pleasantly surprised at the noticeable difference the fabric enhancer made in regards to the softness and scent of my laundry. The scent is fresh, but not overpowering. The clothes are noticeably softer. And most importantly, there was zero static cling! This product is a win for me and will become a staple going forward.

Just purchased the liquid for the first time for my new front load washer. Wouldn't you know that the 77 oz bottle is 3/4" too tall for the drawer under the washer? Why couldn't the bottle be the same size as detergent bottles? Also I was not impressed with the Mountain Spring Scent. I will probably not purchase again.
