Great for Fresh Smelling Laundry

I really enjoyed trying out this product. It made my clothes smell so good! It was extremely easy to use and is convenient to store. The smell lasted for a long time, and kept my clothes fresh in the closet. I would recommend for anyone to try these out! I received this item for free in return for my honest review. #influenster #downy #goddessvoxbox

Works great! Smells Great!

I love Downy i love how soft it makes my clothes/towels feel. The scent is wonderful it's just right not to much or too little. I received this product as a promotion for free from influenster for my honest unbiased opinion on the product. I was not compensated by any other means. My opinion is my own and my hope is to help someone in the future to make an educated purchase prior to purchasing. If you feel that my review has helped you please vote for it, i would greatly appreciate it

A wonderful way to refresh smelly clothes!

This product did a great job of freshening up my clothes. After a long hot weekend of performing in a musical, my clothes were in need of freshening up. They came out of the washer and dryer smelling wonderfully fresh. The scent is really nice and laundry fresh, but if you were wearing out, other people might be able to smell it too if you're sitting close (not a bad thing), but it may not mix with some perfumes. I can see this being super useful with sports uniforms and dance outfits!

Deodorant for your clothes. Lovely!

These beads are potent. The entire house has an amazingly pleasant smell while doing laundry. The staying power of the beads after doing laundry is impressive. Now that is summer in Nevada, these beads came at a perfect time. I smelled great even after biking in triple digit weather. My blankets still smell pleasant after two weeks. I was able to test these beads for free thanks to Influenster, but all my opinions are my own.

Not For the Fragrance Sensitive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I opened the sample pouch of these 'Fresh and Protect' beads, I knew that I would have to use less than the recommended amount, they are very fragrant. For people who enjoy their clothes to come out having a strong scent (the scent was not unpleasant, just overpowering), these would be great. I used half of the pouch, since my husband is sensitive to fragrance, along with our regular detergent (a free and clear variety). Even with just half of the pouch, the clothes came out of the dryer smelling very strongly. They were quite soft though. My son has an issue with stinky feet, so I wondered if his socks washed with this would mask that a bit. By the end of the day I could still smell his stinky feet though. The other issue I had with these was that, at the end of the wash, I found residue from them on the window portion of my front loading washer door. I had to get a rag and clean the inside of it to remove the residue, despite following the package directions closely. All in all, not a product I would spend my money on.

Works great! Smells nice!

I'm a long time user of downy products so I was excited to try these. I've tried other laundry scent beads but none claim to have odor defense like this Downy product. I have some jeans that sometimes give off a metallic smell. I don't know if it's from the jeans themselves, being washed with my husbands work clothes, or what but using the Downy Fresh protect neutralized that odor and left the load of laundry smelling fresh, I highly recommend if you, like me, love to use those smelly beads and love the downy smell. I have to disclose I was given this product for my review but the review is my honest opinion.

Amazing, smells great!

This is an amazing product. It makes my clothes smell amazing! It's important for me to always smell good, and to have something as easy as this makes my life so much easier. I also love it because it's not as hard as liquids! Overall recommend. This was given to me for free to test, all opinions are mine.

Works as advertised, very strong scent.

This product does instill your clothes with a long lasting scent. Personally, I found the scent really overpowering when I wanted to wear the clothes right after washing. I think this might be nice for clothing that you wear less frequently or that you plan to let sit in your closet or dresser for a couple of weeks between washing. I may also experiment with using a smaller amount per wash. *I received this product for free to test. However, my opinions are my own.*

Faint Smell

I used this product on my whites wash - towels, underwear, and clothes - and it left a very faint smell. I don't think it really deodorized the clothes or made much of a difference. I tested Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but all opinions are my own.

Get rid of nasty smells

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product really works. We had some old towels that the cat lays on that has a weird smell to it. I used this product on them and they came out smelling great. Wonderful product for those tough odors.
