It is blisteringly hot here in the south. In fact today was over 90 and humid. This was my first day out with something washed with this included. WHAT.A.DIFFERENCE! Honestly I cannot tell you the times in my day when I was not only comforted with the idea that I was always fresh, but could smell for myself my clothing was a fresh as when they came out of the dryer. I am sold, Downy. I am on my way to buy a bottle tomorrow!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Yes, everyone loves the smell of Downy and yes everyone dislikes forgetting to add Downy to your laundry. I had high hopes for this product because it seems and easy process. No need to measure, no need to make a mess trying to put downy on that ball thing. So easy I can do this with my eyes closed. I added the beads at the beginning of the cycle before I put in the laundry. And well, I did not notice a difference. I don't think my clothes smelled any different than when only using regular detergent. I say skip it. This product is too expensive to not notice something drastic. Thanks for letting me try it - now I won't be curious.

The Downy fresh protect April Fresh in wash order shield beads make my clothes smell so clean! I love that the scent lasts so long, even if I washed something a week ago, it still smells amazing when I am ready to wear it. I received this product free for testing purposes but it is a winner and I will be purchasing it again. All the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Downy Fresh Protect is a great product for those who want their clothes smelling April Fresh. I enjoyed the scent on my clothes, those the scent coming from the packaging was a little much. I don't know if I would use it all the time, but for the occasional wash, I would.

I usually use the downy unstoppable and have been very satisfied but wanted to try something new that was the biggest mistake I've ever made. As I was taking my clothes out of the washing machine they smelled funny to me but I put them in the dryer thinking maybe they would smell better after they dried and boy was I wrong. There were also some shirts that I hung in my closet to air dry and when I stepped into my closet this morning I couldn't figure out what the stinky smell was in my closet. I grabbed my shirt and got in my car and still kept smelling this sour smell and realized as I drove to work that it was my shirt I was smelling. Now I'm at work feeling very uneasy because one of my coworkers said she was smelling something in our office that smells funny I asked her to smell my shirt and she said that was exactly what she was smelling!! I will NEVER buy this product again.

This product is really great for everyday linens. I have been using it for my bed sheets and towels. I love sticking my nose into my pillows or a fresh towel and having a wonderful scent to entice my senses. The product is super easy to use and my laundry always comes out smelling fresh! Love it. I received this product complementary of inlfuesnter in my #goddessvox box. All opinions are my own.

This was first time I have tried a deodorant for clothes. I must say its grate product. At first the fragrance is little strong but at the same time it is refreshing. The fragrance actually lasts whole day. I highly recommend this in-wash odor shield. I have tested Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free from Influenster.com, but all opinions are my own.

Absolutely LOVE Downy fresh protect beads!!! I throw them into every load and they leave my clothes smelling amazing for weeks! I buy the large containers of them and recommend them to everyone I know! *Received a free sample to test, however all opinions are my own*

Anyone who has pets will tell you that it can be hard to get oders out of furniture and clothing. I've struggled for years getting the dog smell out of my sheets. After using Fresh-Protect In-Wash Oder Shield, my sheets stayed maintained a fresh scent for over a week! A must have for any pet owner. Though I received this product as a free sample for testing purposes, all opinions are my own.

First off laundry comes out of dryer so great smelling and fresh. It makes me want to shower in this stuff!! I stay very active and all day long I could smell my fresh smelling clothes no matter if I was running around after my kids or actually running at the gym! Definitely worth the extra dime to smell extra fresh all day!
