I am in love with the Downy Fresh Protect April Fresh beads. I not only use them on clothes but my bedding as well. I love how fresh they make my bedroom smell. I also love how the smell lasts for more than a few days. Although I received them for free to try, It doesn't influense my opinion on them. I have bought Downy in the past and will continue to do so in the future!

Omg!!! After a workout this is the best thing to use, and really it works wonders especially if your cloths are very smelly, my husband will work all day and after one wash this stuff gets everything done it’s amazing and smell so good and so clean very pleasant smell I love it and definitely recommend this to everyone get this ASAP

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical about this product at first. I figured that something that is thrown in at the beginning off the wash cycle would be washed out and very weak. I was pleasantly surprised, my towels ended up smelling great and the scent lasted. Thank you bzzagent #got it free.

This products is truly one of a kind! I have limited time that I can do laundry, and so I am always looking for a detergent that will make my clothes smell fresh for a long time. This products works WONDERS. It can get rid of any stench in just one wash!

The Downy Fresh Protect April Fresh In-Wash Odor Shield is a great product. I washed a couple of loads and they all smell so fresh and clean. The scent stayed on the clothing throughout my day. I did receive complimentary samples of Downy Fresh Protect to review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am obsessed with clean laundry and I'm always trying new things. The NEW Downy® Fresh Protect, These beads are by far my favorite ever. When I wash my towels and use normal laundry soap I can always feel a residue on them and they never seem to be very fresh. Its a total different story with downys beads. My towels are fresher than ever and have absolutely no residue!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Downy Fresh & Protect beads with a free and clear detergent so that I could get the full scent effect. I washed my children's clothes (ages 6 and 2) with the Downy beads. The beads were awesome, just toss them in with the detergent and water before putting your laundry in. During the washing cycle you could really smell the beads, and the smell was very fresh and clean. After the cycle was over, I took the clothes out and the smell was strong but not over powering. I was disappointed though that after drying the clothes I didn't really notice the Downy scent, and by the next day there was no scent left in the clothes at all. I like the concept and ease of use but would like if the scent lasted a little longer.

Fresh Protect, Active Fresh, is the only scent that doesn’t give me a headache and isn’t overpowering on my clothes. It is my absolute favorite. The unstoppables “Fresh” scent is so strong and gives me a headache. The Active Fresh scent had a subtle softness to it, it was really pleasant and kept my clothes smelling fresh for weeks. BRING IT BACK, PLEASE!

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.

I've been attending a private college for the last three years, and thus have been subjected to using machines provided by the school. I share a building with people all varying types: artistic, musicians, scientists, jocks, etc. Dude to the use of the machines by the athletes, our washing machines, although they clean clothing, don't necessarily make the clothes smell the best, even with the use of extra detergent. However, using this Downy product has completely changed everything about laundry. My clothes smell absolutely AMAZING, even using the stinky washing machines. I am absolutely in love with this product.
