Downy, I love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In my honest opinion, If u have teen boys that wait to wash clothes and have some stinky feet this helps alot! lol Very Very happy about that! I love it. I noticed the sweaty stinky smells in the clothes vanished and they usually leave them in the dryer which causes them to wrinkle but this time they didnt so Idk if it actually reduces wrinkles

Why did I ever STOP?

[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!

Smells amazing and leaves clothes super soft

This fabric softener always leaves my clothes incredibly soft and the April fresh scent lasts a long while after they’re washed. I usually end up getting compliments on the smell, it’s a soft and warm scent. Not to mention how affordable it is, it’s my go to when buying fabric conditioners.

Laundry Smells & Feels Amazing!

Ultra Downy Fabric Softener Liquid in the April Fresh scent is an absolute staple for my laundry. The scent is simply delightful . it leaves my clothes smelling wonderfully clean and fresh, a scent that lasts. But beyond the scent, the real magic is how soft and fluffy it makes my laundry feel. Towels, sheets, clothes—they all come out feeling luxurious, not stiff or rough. It also helps reduce static cling, which is a lifesaver for certain fabrics. With 140 fl oz providing up to 190 loads, it's a great value that ensures my clothes always smell and feel nice. This is a great size bottle and the size we normally get; this last month we had to get the larger bottle as this size wasn't available. It works great in our laundry. I absolutely love it!.

I'm a Convert!

I love cleaning but I've always been a subpar launderer. Everything goes in all at once on cold and I hope for the best. I was able to try this formula for free from influenster (these opinions are my own), and I'm a convert! I'd never used fabric conditioner before. I didn't realize it would prevent fading/shrinking/stretching. And being the type of laundry-doer I am, those are al really great things because they're phenomena I experience often. I love how my laundry smells and feels and my whole house smells incredible while the wash is going!

Forever my softener

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy April Fresh has always been my softener for my clothes. I couldn't imagine using anything else. My grandson says it smells like home. I've tried other products many years ago and once was enough. I can't remember how long I've used downy but 30 years would be my guess. I use liquid in my washer and when I want to freshen pillows I toss a dryer sheet into the dryer and they come out smelling fresh. Thanks for a great product. And with a teenager grandson in my home I could use a new washer and dryer.

Ahhhmazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy April Fresh Fabric Softener makes me feel refreshed just by opening up the dryer to fold laundry, snuggling up in my blankets and when using a bath towel. It is such a soft and comforting scent. Plus it reduces wrinkles and helps keep colors bright! What more could I ask for?

Still the best softener.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Because I've been trying to pinch a few pennies where I can lately, I've purchased other brands of fabric softener for the last few months. While they do an okay job, I can clearly see the difference with Downy. My clothes came out so soft! They smell amazing and that freshness lasts longer. My clothes are wrinkle free with no static. I'm not sure what more I could ask of a fabric softener. I highly recommend Downy to anyone who hasn't used it in a while. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the difference.

Fresh Scent!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the fresh scent of the Downy Fabric softener, it’s been particularly nice when used on our beach/ pool towels that can take on a sour odor regardless of how often you use them. And the fresh scent lasts until the next wash. I took one star off because of the phalates and other potential toxins that can cause respiratory and reproductive problems when absorbed through the skin. Would love to see a “pure” or natural version of this product with the harmful chemicals removed.
