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.

GREAT PRODUCT!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this product! It really does make my clothes and sheets softer. The smell lasts too and it smells so good! I can tell a difference when I use it versus when I don't. Best fabric softener out there!!!

This product is love for your laundry!

I received Ultra Downy April Fresh Liquid Fabric Softener as a free sample from Influenster. I had personally never tried any Downy products before, so I was rather curious. I've used almost all of my sample and I must say, I am impressed. My clothes are unbelievably soft and they smell so fresh and clean. I highly recommend this product. Your laundry has never felt so soft nor smelt so clean!

This hands down is the best fabric softener ever. I will never buy another brand. This leaves my clothes and towels so soft that I feel the difference every time I wash them. The scent is so fresh and strong. It's long lasting and always is a great value.

Smells so good 😊

Downy is very popular conditioner brand for fabric and I'm in love with it the first time I ever smell it. Thus, washing my clothes with Downy is always smells perfect and clean. I can go with any scent as well as it from Downy. This is a must buy item for everybody. Highly recommended!!

We have been using Downy April Fresh for years and always satisfied with the nice scent it leaves on laundry. Also if any time we run out of it and dare to do a load of laundry without it, the difference is big and it reminds me to never go without it!

Disappointed

While I love the smell of this fabric softener I had to stop buying it. I was so disappointed purchase after purchase when I would find that it didn’t last long. Shortly after purchasing the softner would go bad. Get lumpy and chunky and lose its form. While I love April fresh I do not recommend buying this scent. I have stopped buying it. It’s a waste of money.

Tried and True Downy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always loved the Downy brand and have used it almost exclusively for years. I was excited to try the new and improved version of Downy, so I used it for the last week on all my loads of laundry. I received the April Fresh scented Downy and to be honest, it’s the scent I have always liked the least. It’s a generic scent that many brands carry and it’s a little old lady smelling. Barring the unfavorable scent though, I think the improved Downy is... the same. Perhaps the difference is just more subtle than I expected. I purposely watched my bed sheets so that I would have something I would be in contact with every day for a week, but I didn’t notice much difference between the old Downy I normally use and the new version. Of course the sheets smelled nice and kept their fresh scent for a long time, but I would have expected that from the old version too. As far as wrinkles go, maybe it’s done it’s job better, I can’t say that anything stood out to me though. I typically leave things in the dryer for a while once it’s done drying, and nothing seemed any less wrinkled than usual. I didn’t have an unfavorable experience, it’s just that it was unremarkable. I felt like my old Downy does the same job as the new one I tried. It doesn’t change my opinion of Downy, I will continue to buy it. I just don’t think I would spend extra (if this improved brand costs extra) on the bells and whistles that it offers when I’m perfectly happy with the job that Downy has already done for me all these years.

Love the fragrance!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven’t used a fabric softener in months but wow this one is pretty impressive. Downy April Fresh Liquid Fabric Conditioner smells fantastic and is not overpowering either. And the clothes were sooo soft. Definitely on my list to purchase again and worth the money!
