Oh I love this! The smell is fantastic! I really can’t believe I just discovered these. I’m familiar with scent beads and have used other brands in the past but nothing has come close to these. My clothes smell so amazing DAYS after washing. From my past experiences, the scent usually goes away a few hours after washing so this is a huge advantage. I don’t think I’ll ever go without these again! They will definitely be on my must-haves list from now on! Thanks, Downy for such a great product! I received a free product for the purpose of my review. This is my unbiased and honest review. Opinions are 100% my own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being a mother of 3 boys, I'm constantly surrounded by foul odors. I immediately tried the Downy Fresh Protect. As the clothes were being washed I instantly noticed the laundry room and hallway smelling fresh. The real test though was when the clothes were done being dried. Even after several days of clothes sitting in the closet the clothes still had the fresh clean scent. Most importantly though my one son has very sensitive skin and I'm very happy to say that the Downy Fresh Protect caused no kind of allergic reaction!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A friend of mine actually brought this product up quite some time ago and I never got around to buying it... I was pretty excited when I found out that BzzAgent would be sending me a sample. I used the sample and was absolutely in love; I went out and bought it at my next grocery trip. It makes my clothes go from "Wow, I like your laundry soap." to "I NEED YOUR LAUNDRY SOAP!" But its not soap, my friend! I love that they are little beads that I can just throw in with the laundry. So, I am converted. I will be using this product from now on. I only wish that I would've been using it all along.

I am in love with this product. I tried this product and it works extremely well. It smells fantastic, like fresh air on a spring day. It has become my favorite scent for laundry. I received this as a free sample testing product from Influenster, but all opinions are my own.

First off, I love the smell of April Fresh. It's floral without being too flowery and clean. These scent pearls were easy to add to my laundry and I could really smell them while my rinse/drain cycle ran. I was a bit concerned that the pearls wouldn't dissolve completely and that I may find pieces of them, but that wasn't an issue. After going through the dryer, the scent had diminished more but was still noticeable. I received this product free for my honest review from Influenster.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the downy beads they take your clothes over the top with smelly good freshness. When I open my closets or my drawers it smell just like the beads I love it! These beads are now a ritual when I wash and you do is throw them in a wash and forget about them its that simple. Buy these you will not regret it . they smell amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would never think to buy this particular product in a store. Fresh and protect beads just don't seem like something I really need for my laundry. Afterall, I've been doing it for awhile with my own routine and preferred products. Since I got it for free from bzzagent, I decided to try it out on something simple: towels. My towels smell great!!! Using the beads was a bit more complicated than I would have expected. You can't put them into the detergent dispenser so this means they go in directly with clothes, which wouldnt be a problem except my washer is a front loader. Not that it was exceptionally difficult... it just took a little more effort than I would normally like to go through when doing laundry in a hurry.

I have bought this product before with a different scent, but this is such an amazing scent! I like that it stays in the clothes for an extended period of time (weeks with my clothes that I've not worn or laundry that's been washed with it prior but not for this round). I also like that, with my skin sensitivity, I haven't gotten any breakouts by using this product. I received this product for free to review and all opinions I've stated are of my own doing.

I received a free sampler from Influenster for review. All opinions are my own. My family already uses Downy's in-wash odor shield - except in a different scent. This one smells great, as they probably all do. I used the whole package for a load. Fresh laundry for me!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Now these were very interesting... I never had a chance to use a beaded freshener before so I was excited to give these a try. Hubby's work shirts are usually the most stinky thing in our laundry and extra "deodorant" would certainly help! Typically I need to wash about 40% of his work shirts over again because of the stinky armpit smell. But I have to say that these little buggers really helped! The only downside is that they are kind of attractive to young children so they are best kept on a high shelf away from curious kids.
