Downy Free and Gentle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a lover of fabric softener; particularly Downy. There is nothing like having towels "Downied" as my mother used to say. However I always try and use it sparingly in an effort to save money. I was delighted and ready to try a free full size sample of this product. The product lacked the fragrance I love about Downy and it lacked the softness that regular Downy gives to laundry. I didn't really notice a difference between using it and just using detergent. However I am aware that I don't have any skin allergies to typical detergent or fabric softener so I cannot be an accurate judge of the product for those that are in need of products that do not contain certain ingredients such as dyes and perfumes.

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.

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.

Allergy Free Finally!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For years we have not been able to use fabric softener due to my daughter's allergies. Downy Free and Gentle has changed that. Our towels are so soft after using it in the wash. I love the way they feel and look. This product also helped keep her sweaters looking brand new by not fading or stretching in the wash. I love the Downy name and I am so glad to have a product that I can safely use for my family.

Free & Gentle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're looking for an unscented fabric softener, the Downy Free& Gentle is the perfect solution! My clothes and towels for super soft after using this fabric softener! I typically buy scented fabric softener, but this unscented one was refreshing. My clothe were also less wrinkled than usual after taking them out of the dryer.

Surprisingly amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a little skeptical when I first opened and smelled it. It’s different than what I am use to. But as soon as I used it in a load of laundry, my perception on it changed. It actually smells really amazing on the clothes and they all came out super soft and no static!

Great for Sensitive Skin!!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE using Downy on my laundry but often times the scent is too strong, which is great.... if you don't have my skin! This free & gentle Downy is just what I need! It keeps my clothes soft and our blankets cuddly without the irritation to our skin! Having a well, with seriously hard water, fabric softener is a must!!! So glad to have found something to use in my laundry routine again! Our daughter noticed the difference right away!!!

Something Special

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this New Downy is rather remarkable. My clothes had a completely different fell to them after using. They felt smoother, softer and kid of fluffy. Knowing it is from Downy is an assurance this is a quality product. I think you will really see a difference with this product. I just typically add to my rinse cycle by hand, don't really like my dispenser on my washing machine.

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.

Great fabric softener!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product! It worked very well and did not irritate my skin like other brands have in the past! I like that it is affordable, and available at most stores, and that it is unscented but still keeps my clothes fresh and soft.
