Leaves your clothes smelling fresh

I work out every day and my clothes smell pretty bad by the end of the week, which is why I've wanted to try this product. Regular detergent got my clothes clean, but they didn't have that fresh smell. The downy beads I threw in the washer and now whenever I go to put on clothes no matter how many days ago they have been washed, they still have that April fresh scent instead of smelling like sweat. I did get downy beads to try for free but the review is all my own.

Great product to remove odors

Downy Fresh Protect Beads are a great addition to the laundry because they are added to washer and remove odors. This not only makes the product very convenient, but after using them they also work great in leaving your clothes smelling fresh. The scent is not overpowering and does not smell like a strong perfume, it has a general clean scent and reminds me of just clean clothes. So I will be adding this product to my clothes, especially when I need my clothes to maintain a clean smell for a little bit longer. Disclaimer: I tested Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but all opinions are all my own.

This product has great features

I received this product for free and decided I would give it a try. I decided if I was going to try it out I would do it with my significant others clothes because he sweats a lot especially on these hot summer days and his clothes smell pretty gnarly sometimes. I put these in with his clothes and I loved that it was not liquid and there was no mess. This product left his clothes with a soft fluffy feeling and the best part was that at the end of the day we still got that fresh scent from his clothes, it was awesome and we will be buying the downy beads for sure! This opinion is completely my own.

Laundry day

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My favorite product was the Downy fresh protect in-wash odor shield, this product was my favorite because liquid fabric softener will freshen wear its placed and not add odor to all the clothes. Dryer sheet are good but I don't dry my clothes during the summer, I hang them outside. Downy did a great job with the fresh protect in-wash odor shield, I was hesitant to try them with the chance I wouldn't like the product but thanks to buzzagent, tide, gain, &downy I was able to try these amazing products which I highly recommend to anyone. I tried tide pods before but I loved how they upgraded to febreze. I also liked the gain flings which were awesome but then I tried the tide pods plus febreze and they were better but none the less they are all great product everyone should eventually try.

fresh n clean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed the scent of this Downy product. I will deffintly be buying it over and over again. A lot of times you cant smell it after you have washed or dried your clothes but with this product you could.

It smells so good!

Honestly these beads were life changing. I normally don't add any extra products to my laundry load, but I think I'll start purchasing these, because they made my laundry load smell so good, even before I put them in the dryer with the dryer sheet. These beads were given to me for free for reviewing purposes, but all opinions are my own.

Amazing scent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If amazing had a scent, it would be this. It smell absolutely incredible. My laundry smell so good and it lasted for a while! Comparing that load to others was really what showed the difference. The load that was washed with the Beads smelled better and fresher than the loads that didn't. I gave it 4 stars because it really is just like air freshener for clothes. I doesn't seem practical for every load of laundry to use these. But, it will make it smell very good. I might use this product as a once in a while, "laundry treat", if you will. But probably not every load. It does smell amazing, though!

Better than the competitors

I received a sample of the Downy scent beads. I normally use the ones by tide so I was curious to see how they compared. With the tide product it took like half a bottle to smell anything with the downy product it took a quarter of the small sample bag to have a powerful fragrance. I definitely think the value is way better with downy!

This product is amazing and love the feaures

For this being the first time trying this time of product I really liked it. I'm impressed with the consept of how you add in inside the washing machine and not adding it while your washing like most of us do when it come to the softener. The smell of this is amazing and love how my clothes smell fresh for days. Will continue to use this product and will be repurchasing again.

Tide/Gain Pods & Downy beads

[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.
