MUST for neutralizing odors

I have two teenage boys and until this came along it was difficult to know predict whether or not the detergent was going to get all the smells out. I never had that problem when they were young so it was a challenge to have to guess whether one wash would be enough. No matter the detergent brand/type/amount, trust me I tried everything. This stuff actually neutralizes the odors regardless of the article of clothing, regardless of what temperature I wash it in, what brand/amount/type of detergent I use, or how hard they played in it. I used to have to sort teens clothes from ours but now I just wash everything together, sub this stuff instead of fabric softner and it comes out smelling fresh and CLEAN. LOVE IT!!!! I can't speak of those who don't have teenage boys because that's all I have but if you have boys and they get sweaty and stinky and you dread doing their laundry, give this stuff a try and I promise it will change your entire perspective on what clean laundry should smell like. Don't have pets but it probably would work great on pet gear too.

Works great and helps keep Clothes smelling clean

It works great. Im a very active person and this helps cleanse my clothes of active workout or daily activity body odors. The best part is that it is not made with the waxes that coat your clothing and sticks on them which can contribute to even more funky smell overtime like fabric softeners do. This rinse is for any type of clothing that is used for gym activewear or daily activities as well. I like it so much better than fabric softeners.

Downy rinse and refresh

I really never expected this product to do much. Thank goodness, I was happily surprised. It’s especially great on washing dog blankets and smelly, damp towels. Definitely knocked the odor out.

We absolutely love the new smell of our laundry due to this rinse. It just leaves even the fonkiest socks smelling like heaven. For more tougher smell obviously add more but for the basic a little goes a long way.

Great deal (for now) and works well

Love this stuff. This is definitely the best deal in town for this product, but you don't get much in the way of variety with smells. Thankfully, I like the smell, and my family isn't allergic to this stuff like they are with softener. Seems to do a great job of refreshing bedding and clothing as well as light cleaning. We use it in place of softener because it is a great deodorizer when used in conjunction with Lysol disinfecting wash additive.

Downy Rinse & Refresh

This product works, removing odors from outdoor work shirts. Real test was washing the dog's bath towels, and now those towels don't have lingering odors. 4 stars due to high cost of product.

Works well, decent (but not great) value

It works pretty well and doesn't leave an overpowering scent. The only thing keeping me from giving it five stars is that it takes such an amount of it that one bottle will only do so many loads of wash, so the cost per use isn't ideal. Still, I put some in with my workout clothes and they smell clean. I guess that it is worth it if it keeps a few articles of clothing out of the trash. I will probably save it to use with my (how do I say it?) "less fresh" laundry and not use it regularly.

Sams has the best price

Great price at Sams, and the Scan and Go feature in the app is amazing. This rinse aid is supposed to remove lingering odors from your wash by lifting away detergent and fabric softener residues that may have built up over time. It does help, but it contains fragrance of its own and it contains ingredients that create foam. I'd like to think my clothes are cleaner, but they may just be getting an added layer of sudsy residue with a masking smell of its own. Also, in my old upright, the fabric softener dispenser does a little spatter of product during the final spin, and these spots dry whitish. At first, I thought it was fading my colors, but the spots come out or at least move when the garment goes through another wash. I wish Sams Club offered a version that is odorless and non-foaming, and I also could greatly benefit from a measuring spout.

Downright stinks!!

I was sooo disappointed in this product. In fact, it smelled so bad that my husband (who never complains) made a negative comment about it. I’m returning it next trip back to Sams
