Better fragrance

Another major brand has a distinct "odor" it leaves in the clothes. I noticed it for years until we started buying Downy. Downy has a pleasant residual fragrance. The price has gone up so we just cut back on how much we use but still a better product in our opinion.

My problems

Everything was fine with my purchases, all products that I have used for a long time.. But I am a plus member and thought that I had free delivery. Here I was charged for it, and not only that, but informed that I should tip the delivery person a pretty goodly chunk. I did all that, and found my items all on the step very nicely put for me to get. But on top of all of this, I used my Master Card to make this purchase and have not been able to order anything with it since. So, I guess that my one and only on line shop at Sam's was not so great. I will still renew my membership, but don't see much sense in Plus or online ordering. It is a pain. Sorry

Fresh. Fragrant. Now go fold.

Well, ya know…it’s Downey. Lightly fragranced liquid that makes your laundry smell oh so good. I don’t want to overlook the value of your clothes’ softness tho. After all it is fabric softener. But heavenly smell is a true bonus. Easy dispenser which I can place directly over my washing machine receptacle. Easy Pleasy.

Keeps clothes feeling soft

We have animals that shed a good bit and I think by using Downy Fabric Softener it helps ensure animal hair does not remain on your clothes after washing them. The smell of Downy April Fresh is not overpowering and leaves my clothes smelling so good!

Downy is Awesome

I love this product. The fragrance makes a big difference when coming from the dryer. It softens every item in the laundry and helps to reduce wrinkling if you remove from dryer upon completion. SAMs is my favorite place to purchase this especially when you get instant savings.

Smells amazing

Downy has always been my go-to fabric softener, and the April Fresh scent is still one of the best. It leaves clothes smelling clean, soft, and fresh without being overpowering. The scent lasts for days after washing, even when the laundry has been stored in drawers or closets. This large 120-load bottle is a great value; a little goes a long way, and the consistency makes it easy to measure without spills. It works perfectly in both standard and high-efficiency machines and helps reduce static cling, especially on towels and bedding. I've noticed that fabrics stay softer and last longer compared to using detergent alone. It also helps reduce wrinkles, making clothes easier to fold and wear straight from the dryer. Overall, this is a dependable and effective fabric softener with a timeless scent. It delivers great value, consistent results, and that familiar Downy freshness that keeps laundry feeling like new.

formed clumpy, slimy goo

I used container of Downy Ultra Soft Calm Liquid fabric softener - excellent results - great satisfaction - no complaints/problems. Downy Soft April Fresh product turned to thick, slimy goo, built up in dispenser receptacle causing thick, slimy gooey backed-up mess -threatened to block dispenser - difficult to remove. I will not purchase the Downy Soft April Fresh product, wouldn't recommend it.

Verygood

The fragrant fabric softener permeates every fiber of the fabric after each wash and dry cycle. My whole family loves this fabric softener brand; its scent is always gentle and there are many scents to choose from. It's always a good and safe product.

The most important thing is that Suavitel Downy Ap

Suavitel Downy April Fresh 2 in 1 has a practical and resistant packaging that facilitates its application. Its fresh and clean aroma has an immediate impact and remains for several days on clothing, demonstrating good resistance. In addition, its 2-in-1 formula is effective, as it softens fabrics, reduces static and leaves clothes soft and with a pleasant feeling of freshness.
