Disappointing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While I usually view Downy products in a positive light, I am sorely disappointed in the new Downy Free & Gentle Liquid Fabric Conditioner. We generally use powdered laundry soap and vinegar in place of fabric softener, but a fabric conditioner without dyes and fragrances appealed to me because my oldest child has issues with soap additives and my younger two have eczema. I am sad to say we ended up with greasy marks on almost all of our clothes, whites and colors, while using Downy. We will not use this product again.

Great

I am so allergic to dye, perfumes & many other things & Downey is a life saver for me. I have tried others & they didn't work for me. It use to be hard to find the Downey free in the high desert were we live but now I don't have any trouble. I have had such good luck. I just wish they made it in a dryer sheet. That would make my day.

Downy free and gentle review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wanting to try this product for a long time and finally got to do so. I was not disappointed. My husband and I both have skin allergies and have to use free and clear detergents to wash our laundry. I would like to use fabric softener, but unfortunately haven’t been able to find a free and clear one until this. Most softeners are heavily perfumed, making them possible allergens. This was not. It was scentless and didn’t have any dyes. It made the laundry very soft and helped with the wrinkles. I would definitely buy this again and would recommend it to anyone with skin/allergy issues.

The perfect softener!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this is a GREAT product for those of us who have sensitive skin or allergies! Sometimes the scents bother me especially when coupled with a perfume. This is great!! It works perfectly. The clothes and towels are still very soft without all the fragrance.

Downy Free and Gentle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] usually shy away from fabric softer because I have sensitive skin. When I saw Downy Free and Gentle, I decided to give it a try. Towels and sheets came out soft and fluffy. When I put the folded towels, washed with Downy Free and Gentle, in my linen closet, they were twice as fluffy as the towels I previously washed without Downy Free and Gentle. My sheets were also so soft and comfy. Best of all, NO allergic reaction to a new product.

Downy Free & Gentle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think Downy Free & Gentle is one of the best fabric softeners I have ever used! Keeps clothes super soft and static free without harsh scents and/or additives! Works great and so easy to use. Perfect for anyone with sensitive skin and/or allergies. A definite staple to my laundry supplies!

Softness without the scent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Downy Free & Gentle is GREAT! In the past, I've shied away from using fabric softeners because the scents tend to bother my sinuses and give me headaches. This Downy gives you the same great softness without the scent. I can now enjoy soft towels and clothes without having to worry about headaches. Also, my youngest son has very sensitive skin. We have yet to find a fabric softener that doesn't irritate his neck and underarm regions... until now. I tried one load of his laundry with the Downy Free & Gentle and there was no skin irritations or reactions. This is by far the best fabric softener my family has used.

Product doesn’t work effectively.

I love Downey products and was eager to use the Gentle Free softner. Fortunately this new product doesn’t work. First of all it clumped up, is jelly like. Also my clothes are very wrinkled. I’m so disappointed in this product that I ended up throwing it away and replacing it. Anyone else have the same experience?

Exciting New Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Ultra Down free & gentle for a few weeks now and I'm thrilled with the results! The consistency of the liquid is perfect, no dyes or perfumes which makes it perfect for my little one with sensitive skin. No spots left behind on any of my clothing like with some other products. I've noticed my sheets even softer and less static in my clothes. I intend to continue using this for a long time.

Surprisingly pleased!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t expect this to like this product as much as I did. It definitely made my towels and clothes feel softer and while it’s not scented everything that I washed with it smelled really clean! I have very sensitive skin and it did not irritate me in any way! I will definitely purchase this to use in the future!
