We love Downy Fresh Protect and how it makes our laundry smell. I've always liked scents and these last longer on washed clothes and linen than other brands. I received these Downy Fresh Protect Beads from Influenster for free to test and review, but all opinions are my own. We have been fans before I received.

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.

Seriously, nothing else smells this good or works as well. They’re trying to replace it with one that smells like flowers… yuck. I’ve tried many other brands too and this is all I will use. Seriously, will just stop buying scent boosters. Boo Downy…

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've just got the chance to try Downy Fresh Protect Active Fresh In-Wash Odor Shield and it is amazing! These tiny little beads give off such a strong scent that really does last for days. It is not meant to clean but it does provide a clean scent. I'm definitely purchasing this product soon!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I put Downey fresh protect odor shield up for a test and did not use it with the tide pods or gain flings that I received for free from Bzzagent. I really wanted to try these but did not really think they would work as I am more of a fan of a softener and dryer sheets...I go full all the way...I try the Downey but with other liquid detergent because I wanted to see how much the aroma really stays in the clothes. And after washing WOWWWWW....was really impress and could not stop smelling my clothes...as they were all fresh, clean, hugable and huhhh lovely...i could imagine in bed sheets...I told my husband to smell because I was just loving it. The aroma, odor really last. Is like there is no need for a softener. So over all I dont even know if you use this with the Tide pods ( wowww ) it would definetely be a booster to it...even though both smell awesome...So indeed is even worth the money...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love love love this product! While washing my clothes my house smelled incredible after drying, the smell was still on clothes. when I walk in my room I can just smell it all over! I will be sticking to this product from now on♡

So I tested the Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but all these opinions are my own. I really enjoyed trying this product. It really made my clothes smell better and fresh. I have never tried a product like this before and I love it. I will definitely be buying this in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy Fresh & Protect Beads are a great addition to my laundry routine. They act as a deodorant for your clothes and they smell great! The packaging doesn't do a good job of telling you how to use them...for example, do you use them alone or with detergent? I sent an email to Downy Customer Service to find out and they said to use it with your regular detergent. I had a brand new luxurious sheets set that I used them on. It's been 3 days since I used them and you can still smell the fresh scent! I highly recommend adding Downy Fresh & Protect Beads to your laundry routine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I tried Downy® Fresh Protect Active Fresh In-Wash Odor Shield I mixed it in with my husband's work clothes and I noticed a HUGE difference to the smell! My husband works outside and comes home with very dirty clothes this is the perfect product to help with any odor. Also, great if you happen to forget you put clothes in the washing machine. No need to rewash them! Just put them in the dryer and they will still smell great!

I used this product in my "smelly" laundry load (exercise and running clothing items). I usually use a scented laundry detergent to try to get the smell out but there is always residual smell. I was so happy to test this product and find that basically all of the bad smell in my laundry was gone! It works really well and I am more willing to use this because you put it in the wash at the beginning instead of having to wait until the rinse cycle comes on which is what I would have to do if I was to use fabric softener. I received this product to test for free and my review and opinion is my own. I would definitely recommend this product!
