Super Soft

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm already a huge fan of original Downy so I had to try Downy Fresh & Protect Beads Botanical Mist. I'm glad I did I just found a new favorite. I used them on a load of towels and they were left soft and smelling great.

These in wash fragrance beads are great

With this new in-wash febreze fragrance beads are great. Not only to they smell great but they also make your clothes softer. I think its a great bargain and cant wait to try more scent. I tested Downy Fresh and Protect for free. All opinions are my own.

Downy® Fresh Protect Active Fresh In-Wash Odor Shield

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think Downy Fresh Protect Active Fresh In-Wash Odor Shield worked great for my husbands clothes as, he is a plumber, they came out smelling wonderful and feeling great. Thanks Downy for another great product and thanks to Bzzagent for another great trail. I can't wait to use this product more often.

Amazing odor and easy to use !

I am so happy they came out with April fresh scent because that's my favorite! I use April fresh downy liquid and the downy unstoppables together and it makes my clothes smell so good! The great smell makes me want to do laundry. The unstoppables are easy to use I just pour whatever I desire and that's all. I sometimes use the unstoppables alone and clothes still smells amazing !

Great New Options From Downy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try the new Downy Fresh Protect Beads. I'm a long time user of Downy Fabric Softener with my Downy Ball, but I do get frustrated with the fading scent, particularly on linens. I sampled the Downy Fresh Protect Beads in Botanical Mist and enjoyed the scent. It was easy to use and the beads were an ideal size to blend into the water in the washer. I washed a load of bed sheets and few of my 5 year old son's t-shirts. The bed sheets were stored in my cabinets for two weeks before I pulled them out. You could still smell the Botanical Mist fragrance when I opened them onto the beds. It was very soothing and relaxing! My son's t-shirts get treated quite roughly, and Fresh Protect Beads certainly were like a deodorant for his clothes! After a day of hard use, his shirt was put in the hamper covered in markers, dirt, and whatever miscellaneous debris boys collect, but it still smelled fresh!

Love the packaging and ease of use!

Downy and febreze have out did themselves with this one! I got these products totally free to try but all opinions are my own. There's nothing I can say bad about this product! The scent lingers for days on end and all you have to do is toss them in the beginning of your wash cycle and magic happens! On top of that, a little goes a long way!

This product is simply amazing!

I have been using the Downy Unstoppables for years so when I received these complimentary babies for testing and review purposes, I was super excited! I used them yesterday in my towels and oh my they smell so amazing. Like little blankets of spring time. I could just sniff them all day long!! Great job! These will be going in my cart on my next visit to the store!!

Clothes still stink

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before trying these, I wanted to know if they actually worked and their ease of use. I was given the opportunity to try them for free through Bzzagent. I used these in a load of laundry that had some pretty stinky pieces of clothing from my husband exercising. I simply added them to the wash bin. Based on the packaging, the purpose and use of the beads wasn't exactly clear. These were added in addition to laundry detergent. I wasn't sure if the Downy beads would neutralize pre-existing odors during the wash cycle or if they were just intended to help prevent new odors from sticking to clothes. I was unable to test the latter because the clothes had to be washed again due to remaining odor. This is possibly due to a new detergent that was used, however, it was clear that the Downy beads did not eliminate odor. It would have been interesting to test the Downy beads' ability to prevent new odors from forming on clothes but, I'm doubtful that they would stand up to heavy sweat and resulting body odor.

Turned my whites pink.

I've used and am a fan of the Downy Fresh Boost (Green) pellets. However the pink April Fresh pellets turned my load of whites light pink. I've tried everything, the dye isn't coming out. Very disappointed, particularly because the container says that the product is safe for all fabrics, machines and wash cycles.
