[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Husband works in construction. Even though he personally doesn't have an odor problem, his clothes always smell of diesel. I figured his work clothes were the perfect chance to use the Downy Fresh & Protect beads ( in Botanical Mist). I used our regular washing detergent to compare his clothes using the Fresh and Protect beads and not using them. I was so surprised when I placed them in the dryer! After using the product I couldn't believe how good his clothes smelled coming from the washer and while I was drying it was making my home smell great. I kept making him smell the clothes through out the process and he couldn't believe how great his clothes smelled after being washed and dried. His clothes usually get clean but the smell of diesel almost always remains. The clean smelling clothes aren't the best part though. When he came home from work the next day after working in the sun and sweating all day his clothes still smell pretty fresh. I would definitely recommend this product to any one who make work around strong odors and doesn't want the clothes holding on to smells through out the day. We are going to always make sure we have this product on hand to wash my husband's work clothes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll start by saying sorry for the generic picture below but I was so excited to try my sample of Downy Fresh Protect Active Fresh In-Wash Odor Shield I got from BzzAgent that I ripped open the package and tossed the beads into a load of towels without even thinking to snap a picture first. With a 14 year old active boy who likes to take 2 showers a day our towels take a beating and sometimes he leaves wet towels in his floor until I have to hunt down that musty stink. The Downy Fresh & Protect did a great job tackling that smell. Now when I go in the bathroom it smells fresh and not like musty old towels. I will definitely be buying more of this stuff!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I was able to try out the Downy product sent to me on Sunday. You just put it in additionally with your detergent without having to worry if it will stain your clothes or not because they're like little pebbles. And as much as it's important for you clothes to smell good during the wash, it's just as important for it to smell good days or even weeks after a wash. It's been about 4 days since I've washed my sheets with the Downy & it still smells just as good when it first came out. Now, it's not as strong the first day but when you get a good whiff of it, you can definitely smell the scent on it. I'm always look for ways to have the fresh & clean smell of detergents & softeners to last for a long. Especially when it comes to clothes sitting in my closet. I'm sure anyone can agree that if they can pick up a shirt that they washed a month ago, & still be able to smell the detergent or softener, whatever they used is a keeper. Especially when you have kids & family members that are constantly getting dirty or sweating from physical activity.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought these were amazing. I would definitely buy this product. It made my clothes smell so fresh and clean. Before I received this product I never expected it to smell as great as it does. I would give this product an A+ and would recommend it to everyone.

All opinions are own. I received this free to try. The scent is pretty great smelling use them in the washer, My clothes came out smelling fresh and very soft. Not very strong and just the right kind of smell. I would definitely start buying these from now on!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Downy Fresh Protect Active Fresh In-Wash Odor Shield as a free sample from BzzAgent. I have used the scent boosters before and have always liked them, but I never tried this one. I used it on towels and it seems to work just like the other scent boosters I have from Downy. It is a fresh scent, and I would likely buy this one again.

I received these beads for free for testing purposes but the opinion is my own. When I first opened the container, the smell was strong and over whelming. However, pulling my bedding from the washer to the dryer, they smelt amazing and fresh and clean. The smell is similar to flowers and outdoorsy. Since I wash my sheets and everything once a week, I went to pull them off the bed and I could still smell it. Very edefective product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive been wanting to try these forever but i thought the pods were ok and I was a little bit disappointed when I got the campaign, I was expecting atleast 3 pods in each pouch. I also live in hot area and my laundry room usually gets very humid and I guess there was a hoke in the pouch that ruin a tide pod most of the product was gone when I opened the package. The downy beads on the other hand, I did not like at all. My son and I never have problems with liquid downy but this irritated our skin. I also noticed that there was still some soapy residue on my clothes that could have also irritated my skin. I honestly wouldn't say that these are the best products but they're ok if you're not having the irritation but i would rather stick to the old liquid tide and downy route then spending a fortune on pods that will melt in the laundry room and leaving me having to buy anti itch creams.

I usually have a hard time picking out fabric softeners that don't have the smell disappear the day you decide to pull it out, I want it to have a fresh smell all day long. This product is amazing, I can spray perfume on and don't have to worry about the fabric softener sent combining with it, it has a very soft feel as well. It's hands down my favorite!

This product works so well. It leaves your clothes smelling fresh and lovely. It seems that your clothing holds the sent for a long while. I advice many people to buy the are and use them. Especially if you want fresh free sentinf clothes. I think these are the best order shield products I have ever used.
