So soft and smells good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downy Free and Gentle Liquid Fabric Conditioner is a great product if you have someone who has sensitive skin or allergies. When I used this product it left my clothes so soft. It kept my clothes looking new.

Just as it says

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This softener is perfect for our family. My daughter and myself both have skin allergies and I haven't used fabric softener for the past 3 years. I would say if you're in the same boat to give a try!

Highly recomonded if you have sensitive skin...

I have had issues with sensitive skin on an off since kindergarten. As I've gotten older the issue came back this past fall. And as I've done in times past I put everything back to free n clear. I love and adore Downy fabric softener. I refuse to use the store brand that the grocery store I work at sells. My mom has tried to convince me to use it but I won't.

Different, but in a good way

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, I really like the fact that Downy Free & Gentle has no added dyes or scents, I really think they are unnecessary. I've been using detergents without those additives, and now there is a fabric softener that does the same thing! Hooray! I've actually stayed away from fabric softeners recently because they have way too much scent. I've used it on about 5 loads so far, underwear, towels, dress shirts, pants. They all seem to have come out in better shape than I expected. Can't wait to use it on more fabrics and items - wondering if using it on my throw rugs will help them stay clean longer, as fabric softeners tend to make them seem like they get dirtier sooner. The other problem I've had with liquid fabric softeners is that while they make the clothes soft and fluffy, there is also a bit of a heaviness to them, like they've absorbed the softener into the fabric. But Downey Free & Gentle seems different. the clothes are soft. They are fluffy. But there is nothing that seems heavy, which is really nice.

Ultra Downy Free & Gentle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son has super sensitive skin, so we can't use anything with dyes or perfumes without him getting a rash. I tried Downy Free & Gentle with our last loads of laundry. It was a little messy pouring it into the dispenser in my front load washing machine. Pouring straight from the bottle, the liquid dripped from the spout area onto the floor in the process of lifting it up to put the cap back on. Other than that the product is great. Left clothes nice and soft, and no irritation on my child's skin.

Downy Free & Gentle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a loyal user of Downy and have been using it for years. I think it’s the best fabric softener available. The first time I tried Downy Free & Gentle, I used it while laundering my sheets and a blanket. My bedding came out of the dryer soft and static free. I do have to admit that I missed the light, clean scent of my regular Downy fabric softener. With Downy Free & Clear, there is no scent or added color. My daughter has very sensitive skin so I tried the softener with her laundry. She has had absolutely no reaction or skin irritation. I’ll stick with my old tried and true Downy April Fresh for my laundry but will definitely be using Downy Free & Gentle with my daughter’s clothing and bedding from now on!

Downy after and Gentle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I give this a rating of 5!! I love it, I have allergies and this is the best fabric softener!! I would recommend it to everyone and I’m going to buy several bottles for my laundry room and my son’s laundry! Thank you so very much for allowing me the opportunity to receive the Downy! I even love the shape of the bottle.

way too thick

I am not sure if it's the bottles I bought, but the product was not like liquid at all. It was this big goopy mess. I tried to put it in my HE washer and it barely left the drawer after the load ran. I thought maybe the first bottle I bought just went bad (can fabric softener do that?). Nope my second bottle was just as bad. After fighting with it for a bit, I finally decided just to pour it down the drain, which took forever you might imagine. I wanted to recycle the bottle. I wish I could post pictures to show the goopy mess. Frustrated as I really like Downy products and it was a huge waste of money.

Softness Every Load

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think Downy Free and Gentle gives clothing a special softness. my husband is highly sensitive to perfumes and scents I on the other hand love the softness Downy gives our clothing. Our grandchildren love the softness against their skin and like to cuddle up in their blanket with Downy Free and Gentle. I like that they wont get a rash with Downy !
