great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] downy fabric softener is wonderful. my clothers are soft smell fresh and will buy in the future have only used dryer sheets in the past from arm and hammer, never used downey products before, but now i'm hooked. the only problem is the lid, after you shake the bottle and pour it gets spilled on your hands, because the liquid gets caught inside the lid. other than that i really am very very pleased with this item

Disappointed

While I love the smell of this fabric softener I had to stop buying it. I was so disappointed purchase after purchase when I would find that it didn’t last long. Shortly after purchasing the softner would go bad. Get lumpy and chunky and lose its form. While I love April fresh I do not recommend buying this scent. I have stopped buying it. It’s a waste of money.

This product is a must have!!!

I used Downy for the first time and i love this product. I will never buy anything else again. This product worked very well for my family and I! It left my clothes smelling amazing and fresh. The scent does last a long time. With 3 small children and playing sports it is nice to have their clothes smelling fresh and clean and long lasting! Downy will forever be a keeper in our home. I have not found many products like this one that the scent actually lasts long. Some products smell amazing but the scent doesn't last and with Downy softener it DOES last a long time. Kept my clothes fluffy and soft as well. Thanks Downy! *** I tested Downy Softener for free but all opinions our my own***

love It!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using downy fabric softener since I was 9 years old. 34 years of awesomeness. I tried a different fabric softener once during the 34 years and immediately went back to downy. Only downy makes my clothes fresh and soft.

I've only use Downy

I received a free sample bottle of Downy April Fresh from Influenster for reviewing purposes and all my opinions are my own. I honestly only use Downy products; all my fabric softeners, dryer sheets, scent beads, fabric refreshers and all my hypoallergenic things for my sensitive skin sister. Downy smells the best, lasts the longest, and has the best 'bang for your buck'. I've tried to use other fabric softeners but they just irritated my skin and didn't smell as good. I'm going to stay with Downy for a very long time!

Quite pleased!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this product is! I stopped using dryer sheets and switched to dryer balls a few months ago because I hated that weird film the clothes seemed to get. The Downey liquid didn’t leave that film at all and the smell isn’t too strong. I don’t have a specific place in my washer for softener, so I just had to add it in the bottom with the soap so I may not be getting the full benefits. Once my bottle is empty, I will purchase another one.

My experience with Downy April Fresh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I know Downy since before I start live in United States. As a allergic person, I’m always trying new fabric products and essences to see which one is ok or not for me and for my family. About the ultra Downy April fresh: When I opened the bottle first time, the smell comes to me. I thought maybe it was to strong and cloying, but I wanted to see how it would be in the clothes. The aspect very liquid make me think for one moment that it was diluted and I will need more product to have the same result than others. But it is not true. The amount that you need is the same as usual, and the fact that it is more liquid makes the mix with the rinse water more easy. So, every piece inside the washing machine receives the fabric conditioner. Some capsule products don’t do this. I used Downy in two different ways: first I left the clothes to dry in a open space by the sun and the wind, enjoying the warm weather here. In this case, after dry the clothes (and principally the towels) weren’t so fluffy, but the smell on then was amazing. Every time someone open the closet the smell perfumes the entire house. I don’t know if the product needs the hot of a dry machine to activate the softness on fabrics… On a second try, I dried the clothes on a dryer machine. This time, they were so much more fluffy then when I dried in a open space. The towels seem another kind of fabric after dry. But, on dry machine seem that the perfume are not so accentuate like in first case. I don’t know if the heat do something on perfume… the clothes are smelling good, but are not perfuming the house. And about the perfume, even it seem very strong on bottle, it is not the kind of perfume that make me sneeze or provoke some allergic reaction. In conclusion: If I dry on open space and it leave the same strong perfume at fabric like when I use the dry machine, it will be the perfect fabric conditioner to me! But comparing with other brands and even other Downy products I have tried, this one is the best by now.

This product smells good, makes clothes soft

This makes my clothes smell so good and fresh! I normally do not buy scented liquid fabric softener but this stuff was so nice! It have a nice natural smell to my clothes after drying. I received a free sample of this fabric softener from influenster Vox box but all of these opinions are my own. I would recommend this product to others. I mean, you can never really go wrong with downy anyways :)

The new smell is beyond offensive!

Even though Downy still delivers as far as softness, etc., the new smell is horrible! I started to notice it late last year and thought it was my color safe bleach. My husband developed an allergy to whatever it is they've added. The smell is overpowering and I still find clothes and sheets that have that nasty smell. I'm seeing newer reviews about how wonderful the new scent is, and quite honestly, I don't believe them. It smells like a toilet mint. Seriously. A toilet mint - and it never, ever fades away until you rewash it. It also leaves kind of a lanolin type feeling on your skin and hands - and not in a pleasant way. Bottom line - excellent product before they "improved" it. Please - go back to the old way. Who decided this was a good idea - lol? Sheesh!
