Smells awesome but could be less pricy

I received downy fresh protect in April fresh as for free to sample it and give my opinion. It smells really good. I had just gotten back from a week long camping and music that involved rain, dust, heat, sweat, glitter, and body odor from not showering for a week. I came home to find this product in the mail and added it to my stinkier than usual laundry. After the cycle my clothes smell awesome! I work as a waitress in a very hot and humid city in a building with barely functioning AC. I am excited to see how my clothes hold up to my double shift tomorrow.

Love it!

These beads are AMAZING! The definitely boosted the freshness of my laundry with this bright scent and after weeks of washing, the scent is still there! I received this product for testing purposes, but after trying it out I can say that I will definitely be making a purchase.

Great product.

I received this product in my goddess vox box. I really wanted to put it to the test so, I tried it on the smelliest clothes in my house....my husband's work clothes. They came out of the dryer smelling great and at the end of a twelve hour shift, they still smelled good. Obviously nothing will completely mask the smell of man sweat and hydraulic oil but downy fresh protect came pretty close. *disclaimer. I WAS NOT COMPENSATED FOR MY POST; HOWEVER, I DID RECEIVE A SAMPLE FOR MY REVIEW. ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN AND NOT INFLUENCED IN ANY WAY.

This is the product I have been looking for!

I have tried many fabric softeners and none have worked quite as well as this product. I use it on blankets and towels and it is long lasting. The scent is fresh and not overwhelming. I received it for free as a part of a Vox Box for influenster and I will definitely be a customer now. I was not paid for this review. Buy some and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Awesome product!!! Great smell!

In general I love these beads! The downy ones are my favorite! They give my laundry that extra boost I need to make them smell good but the smell isn't too strong where it's Over powering! I did test these out for free but my opinions of this product are my own!

Compliments galore!

"You smell great! What laundry soap do you use?!" I've heard that more since I've used this product than I ever have. Guess what!? I haven't changed my soap, just added these beauties. I always feel like my clothes are fresh and crisp. I received 3 sample pouches for free and loved them so much purchased the full size with my own money. All reviews are my own opinion.

Smells Amazing!

Anyone who has pets will tell you that it can be hard to get oders out of furniture and clothing. I've struggled for years getting the dog smell out of my sheets. After using Fresh-Protect In-Wash Oder Shield, my sheets stayed maintained a fresh scent for over a week! A must have for any pet owner. Though I received this product as a free sample for testing purposes, all opinions are my own.

Exceeded my expectations

I was expecting this product to be extra perfume-y... and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't as much scent as I expected. It did carry over through the wash and the dry, but it was pleasant. I don't know if I noticed it reacting to my movements, but I liked how it smelled coming out of the wash, and even after it sat for a while!

Adds freshness to about ANYTHING

I used the fresh protect beads for the first time with my towels, they smelled amazing afterward and so I went ahead and decided to truly put it to the test. I have three pitbulls who sleep on a big bed in the living room with covers and pillows. I used the Downy odor shield beads along with my regular detergent and fabric softener to wash these. I was amazed at how the bedding smelled better than when they were brand new. I couldn't smell puppies at all!!!! I already went out and purchased more. Plus the April Fresh scent is really clean and enjoyable. I look forward to having this in my laundry room from now on! I received this product for free from Influenster for testing purposes, but all opinions are 100% my own.

These are perfect.

I have received these complimentary for testing purposes from voxbox. These scent beads smell delightful and I love how easy they are to use. They helped a stinky load of clothes smell like they came right out of the heavens. I highly recommend this to anyone.
