[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a sample of Downy April Fresh fabric softner along with my Tide Pods purchase. I used it exactly as directed and when I went to remove my clothes from my washer, the softner had not dissolved in the water and was stuck to some of my clothes. The way in which it was stuck cannot be described as anything else other than snot-looking. I did an extra rinse and spin thinking that would help...NOPE! I had to rewash the clothes TWO MORE TIMES! I've always loved the P&G product line and have never had an issue with their products. However, I will NOT be buying Downy fabric softner. Thankfully I didn't pay for this sample or I would be even more irate!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first time I used this, I knew it was different. My clothes were left super soft and they smelled so fresh! Days later, my clothes STILL smell like they were just washed. Wow. Seriously good stuff!

My husband wears blue jeans to work and since I tried Ultra Downy his pants are softer and they don't require as much ironing. I don't know if wrinkle control is supposed to be a benefit but it does seem to help. The smell is light and fresh which is nice; I don't feel like my clothes are competing with my perfume. Static cling has been eliminated from my laundry! I will definitely be buying this product. I received Ultra Downy® April Fresh Fabric Softener for free to test, but all opinions are my own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Downy April Fresh my whole life of 50 years! I grew up with it and it still brings me back to my childhood every time I do laundry! I have well water here and it tends to make all my towels and bedding pretty stiff but with Downy I don't have that problem. Everything is fresh and soft and the scent cannot be beaten. I have tried other fabric softeners that I got samples of but always come back to my Downy April Fresh :)

You need to market SWEET SHEETS. A small bottle kept in your nightstand to spritz this intoxicating smell of DOWNY just before a little rendezvous. I already do this and TRUST ME, it makes them go WILD. I have used DOWNY for 40 years. There is nothing better. SWEET SHEETS.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OMG i love the way that this smells!!! I love how my clothes come out of the wash smelling great and cozy! I dont think i will EVER use another softener again!! I did my daughters blankets in them and I as soon as I gave them back to her-she snuggled right into them!! Little girl KNOWS whats good!!!

[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.

I have tried a few different brands of fabric softener and nothing compares to Downy. With great scents, it's easy to love. And the smell lasts even if the clothes sit in a drawer. I can pull out clothes and they still smell fresh. Plus, I have noticed my clothing stays super soft as well. Highly recommend this product!

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.

I received this product free for my review, but all opinions are my own. Since I had my son, we've dealt with static cling craziness -- socks would show up in sheets weeks later and baby stuff is so tiny anyway, so stuff was just always missing. I love that this helps reduce static cling, the scent is so fresh, but not irritating to the skin at all and it's a name I know and trust.
