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.

Don't fix things that are not broken!

My family has used April Fresh Ultra Downy for as long as we can remember. The recent changes have me and my family more than disappointed. Our trust in this company and product has been broken. We have horrid smelling clothing and linens and a pile of medical bills after we all had reactions to whatever this new junk product is that they are peddling as our beloved Downy. I came online to find out if the old formula was still being offered and if my store just wasn't carrying it but now I see we are not the only ones less than thrilled with these unnecessary changes. I am terrified to buy another bottle of Downy in a different fragrance as I am not sure I can trust what is inside. We have never used another fragrance other than April Fresh.

AMAZING!! SO SOFT IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!!

Buying the April Fresh liquid was the best decision of my life so far. My clothes are so soft and smell so good I think to myself, "Where have you been all my life?". Many people have commented on how soft my clothes feel and I wholeheartedly tell them how I do it, and that's with this product. Seriously go try it out for yourself!

Downey Fabric Softener

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Downey! Have I mentioned that lately? Not only does Downey hold a humorous place in our family’s hearts but it also holds our clothes together. Healthier clothes, healthier family right? When my youngest was a bit younger we were all sitting in the living room watching television together. As we were nearing a birthday every commercial for some great new toy that came on the air also brought an excited “I want THAT for my birthday” even if there was little understanding of what the item was, after weeks of lead up to the birthday a commercial for Downey Fabric Softener came on the air and I ‘might’ have encouraged the excited child to request Downey Fabric Softener for their birthday. For weeks it became included in each rehearsed list of wishes for gifts! I love the way April Fresh smells! It makes our clothes soft and the smell lasts for a long time! I use it on my sheets so that I have a fresh smelling every night!

Fabric Softener

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was great as a fabric softener itself but I much prefer the unscented versions. Perhaps a different or lighter scent might appeal more. I like it enough but it's not something I think I could use every load and instead might opt in for vinegar more than most of the time. Works and smells as advertised.

softens clothes great.

I received a sample from influenster for testing purposes. Although the quality of the product was great, I didn't like the smell. I would try again in a different fragrance. When paired with Downy unstoppables, it made the April fresh smell better. This opinion is my own even though I received this product free

My closet is so happy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always used Downy dryer sheets and been happy with the fluffiness and static-free status of my laundry. Downy Liquid Conditioner has elevated my laundry game, though! Scent: The fresh scent lasts longer - long enough to make my closet smell new and delightful. I don't know how they do that because the scent is also NEVER overwhelming. Softness: My clothes are still super soft, I haven't noticed a significant change. Still lovely. Wrinkles: No kidding. I didn't need to steam my sheets when I washed them! If I only used this on bedding, it would be worth it - but I noticed a lot of my clothing has fewer wrinkles, too! The only negative I could find when using Downy Liquid Conditioner was that it adds an extra step - not even really a whole step, though. It's already a habit for me.

Smells fresh and leaves clothes soft

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always been a fan of fabric softener. I love the way it makes my clothes and towels smell. My family has always used the Downy brand and I personally think it is the ultimate fabric softener on the market. The Ultra Downy April Fresh scent is a new favorite of mine. It smells clean and leaves my clothes feeling soft, fresh and static free.

Very Disappointed

I've been a Downy user for 20 years and with my latest bottle of April Fresh with Fabric Protection I am very disappointed with the scent. It does not smell the same as it has for years. It has a strong perfumey smell that is not pleasant and unfortunately I will no longer be using it. Guess I have to find a new fabric softener.

Downy Review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think I am going to start using Downy regularly myself. My clothes smell so good out of the dryer and I can't believe how soft they are! My towels are the softest I have every felt. I will definitely be buying more Downy fabric softener and using it in the future. IF you haven't tried it you are missing out on tons of softness!
