I have tried many fabric softeners and none have worked quite as well as this product. I use it on blankets and towels and it is long lasting. The scent is fresh and not overwhelming. I received it for free as a part of a Vox Box for influenster and I will definitely be a customer now. I was not paid for this review. Buy some and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got a free sample of these Downy® Fresh Protect Active Fresh In-Wash Odor Shield beads, I sprinkled them in a load of especially stinky clothes (my husbands gym and work clothes!) and these worked wonders! First of all, they are simple and easy to use. You just sprinkle them into the washer (that's it!). Second, they SMELL AMAZING!! They really make your laundry smell fresh and clean, and it lasts! Even after you put your clothes away in your dresser or closet, you will smell the same freshness when you pull them out later. I would definitely recommend these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't notice any difference when I used the Downy Beads. I have used unstoppables before and have noticed a difference with those. However with these I didn't notice a different scent or that my close smelled better longer. Maybe it just wasn't enough to notice a difference. I use scent free detergent so I figured I would notice a scent but I did not.

So easy to use. I normally just toss these right into the downy ball and then throw it into the washer at the beginning of the wash cycle. The first time using the scent was a little too strong, so the next time I use about 1/3 less than the recommended. It worked out much better. I received this product complimentary for testing purposes and to voice my opinion.

Anyone who has pets will tell you that it can be hard to get oders out of furniture and clothing. I've struggled for years getting the dog smell out of my sheets. After using Fresh-Protect In-Wash Oder Shield, my sheets stayed maintained a fresh scent for over a week! A must have for any pet owner. Though I received this product as a free sample for testing purposes, all opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed using this, my clothes are more fresher because of this. I love the smell, that it gets my clothes cleaner. I love that it doesn't mess with the color of my clothes, or destroy them in anyway. The freshness last really long, and that is a plus for me. I highly recommend that you add this to your clothes, its the best. I tested these Downy Protected Beads free, and these opinions are my own.

I LOVE THE SMELL OF THIS! I have always purchased Downy as my fabric softener, so when I received these for free for testing purposes I was so excited to try them because i had never used these before. They left my clothes smelling great and the smell doesn't go away as fast as with other detergents. Highly recommend!

My partner used this on his work uniform, which tends to be smelly. He was really impressed with the longevity of the scent as it lasted through his whole workday. He would prefer different scents, though. I received this product for free but all options are my own.

I love these beads! I used them for my athletic wear and that was a good idea and a perfect use! They don't smell sweaty, and even better, I smell good while I am working out. I got asked what I use to wash my laundry today. I also used it to wash my towels, they smell so clean right after a shower. I received this product complimentary for testing purposes, but this review is of my own opinion

I'm a big fan of scents and downy haven't let me down where this is concerned. When I add these to my clothes the scent stays on for weeks even though I sweat or whatever in them...they're just that great :) If you're a big fan of scent then definitely try these out. I tested these Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but all opinions are my own.
