I don't feel like my clothes are fully clean unless they come out smelling fresh, and these beads do exactly that. I love how I can pull something out of the bottom of my drawer that I haven't worn in a few weeks, and it smells like its freshly washed. I tested my Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but all opinions are my own.

I've been using this since it first came out! Excellent item. I worked in a cigar store for a while, and using this on my work clothes was one of the ONLY ways too keep them from smelling of tobacco smoke (not everyone enjoys smelling like an ashtray). PLEASE bring this scent BACK!!!! Why you would keep the pink one (WAY too strong) and get rid of this scent is beyond my comprehension.

I know these fresh protect beads are designed as "deodorant for your clothes," but I used them on the blankets that I use to cover my couches/chairs when my dogs sleep on them. It's been a full week and those blankets still smell amazing -- not like dog at all! (And I have two small but crazy shedders.) Amazing quality -- I'm definitely impressed. I received three one-time use packets for free (but all opinions are my own), and I think that the amount of Fresh Protect in each packet is a little excessive, hence the value rating.

I really like the product. I have been using other brands, but this one let my cloths smelling so good, fresh and new. Very pleased The pack looks like will last a good time if you use the correct amount of it in the machine. . Got the product for free but the opinions are my own.

I absolutely loved this product! It smells wonderful. I got this product for free through a promo and will definitely be going out to buy it. My clothing has smelled amazing for two weeks so far in my dresser and my room smells fresh as well just from my clothing! I absolutely love this product!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed the convenience of the pods. The Downy pods really does provide long lasting freshness. I was washing up our summer comforter for our bed and use the downy pod in the wash. Very fresh scent and for days when I would open my bedroom door I would smell the downy scent from my comforter filling my room.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I regularly wash our dog's bedding and toys, but they never really come out smelling good. I washed all of the dog's laundry using the Downy Fresh & Protect Beads and they came out of the dryer actually smelling really nice! They didn't smell like dog anymore! So happy!

The product smells wonderful, even after the wash is done. I have used it on clothes, sheets, and towels which it has worked well on all. It did especially well on mildewy smelling towels that sat out in the sun after a day at the beach. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for an extra scent boost for their laundry.

I tried these on my sheets to see if the odor shield claim was accurate and I think they truly did smell fresher longer than without this product. The smell is wonderful and I didn't notice any negative effects. I received this product free for testing purposes. All opinions are my own.

The Downy Fresh Protect Beads have really made a difference in my clothes and household fabrics. The scent is very delightful and not too over-powering. Will be buying these from now on! * I have tested the Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but all opinions are my own.
