I’m in love with clean smells and this is it! Nothing bad to say besides me wanting to use the whole bottle because it smells that freaking great! Downy has so many products so if you don’t like this, you’ll love something they do have! Downy is definitely a classic go to!

Smell's amazing

I was very surprised with how fantastic the products smell. I was also wasn't Lee surprised with how long the freshness lasted. I have definitely added a new part of my cleaning line up. I tried this product is a free sample but the opinions are all my own.

Strongly scented

I used a half package of Fresh Protect in a load of laundry it came out smelling much too strong. With the heavy perfume scent it isn't possible to comment on it's odor-fighting abilities. If you cover something in perfume of course it will mask odors. I received a sample of Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free. All opinions are my own.

My laundry has never been more fresh.

My mother has used this product in the past so I was eager to try this product. I like how easy it is to us and how the smell of fresh laundry last for quite some time. The length of the scent is a lot longer than I expected. I will definitely buy again.

Second time writing review...

A little annoyed that I just wrote a very long review and then when I went to preview and post it gave me an error and deleted everything I just spent 15 minutes writing. I'll sum up the quick version...product smells amazing...I don't like that it looks like candy. After having the thought cross my mind, my 3 year old daughter right after said "these look like candy, can we eat them?" And I had to explain why that was a no no and had to store them high out of reach. The product definitely delivers that nice fresh scent though. Overall I'm very pleased. I received this product free in exchange for a review of my honest opinion.

Smells lovely!

Decided to give this product a go since my regular detergent didn't leave my clothes smelling fresh (They didn't smell bad, but didn't have that "just did laundry fresh" type of smell I want). The smell is strong when you first open the package but you can use as much or as little as you'd like. I wasn't sure the scent could last through a wash cycle but it definitely did, and the clothes still smelled fresh and clean after going through the dryer as well. The smell did dilute a bit but that for me was a good thing because you don't want it to be overpowering. I think this is a great product and would be especially good for washing athletic clothes etc. I received a sample of this product for free but all opinions are my own

This product is loved by everyone in my house!

The Downy product In-Wash Odor Shield "pebbles" make my laundry smell so good! It smells delicious when I put them in, transfer the laundry to the dryer, & when I'm folding the laundry! A+! Everyone in my home dumps them into the laundry! I received these products for free to review, but all opinions are my own.

This product is going on my shopping list.

I discovered several reasons to have Downey's In-Wash Odor Shield beads on hand. I received three complimentary samples to test at an opportune time. I had finished washing a load of clothes and had put them in the dryer and then I started a second load forgetting to turn the dryer on. A family emergency came up because of this I completely forgot all about the clothes in the washer and dryer until two days later when I went to look for something to wear. If you've ever done this you know that even though you rewash the clothes there can be a leftover odor of mildew after drying them. I rewashed and dried both batches of clothes using the samples. I was very happy to find that in wearing the clothes there was no hint of a mildew odor present even though it was in 90s outside and I had just spent the day doing yard work for myself and my Dad's yard. I don't know if this was one of the reasons Downey came up with this product, but it certainly worked for me.

This was a great product.

I am an avid runner and I live in the Florida heat. That means one thing- SWEAT! This affects my running clothes and professional wear. I have continuously tried to use scent beads (think Scentsy) but the scent always wears off. This product lasts! And it is easily found in grocery stores. I love the April Fresh scent.
