I wanted to love this product more than I did. My machine washer doesn't have a hot water hook up and the beads didn't "melt or dissolve" and got stuck to my clothes. However my clothes were doused with fragrance ! Maybe make an option for cold water washers? Please note that I received this product as a sample trial for free for review purposes through influenster. The opinion however is my own.

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.

I used this product in a very smelly load of towels. While putting them in the dryer I noticed that they smelled great! After drying and folding the towels, they still smelt wonderful. After several uses of the towel, it remained smelling fresh and not musty at all. After about a week, I took another towel out of the linen closet, and not only did the closet have the April fresh scent, but the towel smelled as if I just washed it. I also put some of the Downy beads in my wax melter, and to my surprise the entire apartment smelled wonderful. I received this product free to test, but the opinions are my own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These beads leave the clothes smelling fresh for days and days. When you pull an article of clothing out the smell is so refreshing as if you just washe'd it. I will recommend these beds to everyone I know. Thumbs way up!!

The first time I used the Downy Fresh Protect beads, I expected them to just be another scented product for my clothes. However, I was wrong-- the beads not only made my towels smell GREAT, but the scent lingered long after the first wash! I love the fresh scent and it is not too overwhelming either! Only con is that my brother does not particularly like smelling "feminine" so I would opt for something else in that instance. *I tested your Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but all opinions are my own.

I tested this product for free, but all opinions below are my own. I was intrigued by the beads I received to try. I grew up in a household where my mother used Downey, and I miss the smell on the clothing. Due to sensitive skin/allergies in my household, I no longer use scents on a regular basis, but decided to try it on some items, beginning with my workout wear. I used less than the suggested amount and still got the desired effect. My whole main floor smelled "Downey fresh," as did the clothing washed. These were great for s freshening pick me up. I recommend them for that smell of freshened laundry!

I used this on my couch slip covers and so far they smell fresh despite having my dogs laying on the couches. The freshness seems to last longer than my regular fabric softener. I used this on a regular load of clothes too and got the same results. The scent is light and fresh. I'll definitely be keeping these in my laundry routine.

I have used Downy in the past and LOVED it and then these scent beads came out and while I have used some before (different company) I was not too impressed. These make the clothes smell nice fresh from the wash and again from the dryer and they still smell like that even folded in the dresser drawer or hung in the closet for about a week maybe longer. you could even smell it when the kids came home from school and gave you the first hug that afternoon. these are also good for if you have a wax warmer add a few in the bowl and let them melt for a last minute freshness of the house such as for unexpected guests. I was given free samples from Influenster and agreed to review the samples on this site but even if I did not get them free I would have the same review! I depend on reviews when I am making decisions on new products and if i should buy them for my family or not.

I absolutely loved the way this product smelled! It made my clothes smell great, and the scent lasted way longer than I expected. The only issue I have it that pouring this directly on my clothes left small spots that look like grease stains. I followed the instructions on how to use, but I don't think they fully dissinigrated causing the spots on my clothing. I did get this product free from influenster for testing purposes.

I really liked the Downy Fresh products! I tried a few different scents and my laundry smelled so nice when it was done. I used the sample pouches instead of the full-size product and the only complaint I have about them is that they are very difficult to open -- I had to go find scissors every time just to open them.
