Best fabric softener

This is my go-to fabric softener. I have sensitive skin so having stuff with scent on it causes breakouts for me. So seeing that downy made an unscented one was a big game changer for me. I love that it is a good value for what you get. And I love how my skin doesn't break out and I don't have to go without fabric softener and have stiff clothes.

Super soft

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved using the downy free & gentle on my laundry. It left my clothes super soft without too much of an overpowering smell. My brother has sensitive skin and the fabric softener did not irritate his skin at all. I was able to use a capful to soften my entire load of laundry. It didn’t leave any gross residue in my laundry machine and completely softened my clothes. I will definitely repurchase and use it as my staple fabric softener!

Soft Sheets Again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I honestly thought my days of using fabric softener were over! Our family dog (we refer to her as our sons' "little sister"; she kind of rules the house) has terrible allergies. As part of preventative measures, I switched to hypoallergenic detergent and cleaning supplies. I had always used Downy fabric softener in the past but was unaware that a fragrance- and dye-free option was available. As soon as I got my hands on a bottle, I stripped our beds and washed everything. Everything came out of the washer smelling clean but not perfumed, and it is so nice to sleep on SOFT sheets again! Downy Fabric Conditioner is going to be a staple in our house from now on!

Softness noticeable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have noticed the clothes being softer while using Downy. Good thing about the free and gentle is that is unscented and I can use for my dogs bed wash. I have used it on my family clothes as well and clothes are soft and clean. I would like recommend.

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.

Great Free & Gentle Detergent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Ultra Downy Free & Gentle Fabric Softner and really liked it. It did not give my skin a reaction but helped keep my clothes soft without any added perfumes. I am definitely going to purchase again

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.

I like the product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my Downy Free and Gentle Liquid Fabric Conditioner on Monday and decided to give it a try Wednesday for my mid week laundry. Since it was gentle and for sensitive I decided to try on my Little ones laundry. And it did the trick all of her little spots were gone. Happy mom, happy baby.

My clothes feel great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am giving this product four stars because I miss the smell of the usual downy products but otherwise it is definitely a 5 star product. It is easy to use, I put it in my downy ball, and throw the ball right into the washing machine. My clothes feel extra soft and look like new. When I decided to try this product I wasn't sure I would even notice a difference and thankfully, I was wrong. From the first wash cycle I immediately noticed that my clothes were softer. I will definitely be using this product in the future but next time I will get the one with the fantastic downy scent!

Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product! I was worried that it wouldn't make my laundry as soft as regular softener. Wrong! My laundry came out really soft, and I don't have to worry about my son's skin getting irritated from dyes and perfumes.
