Long lasting freshness

You know how whenever you go back home to mom's house for a visit and her linens always smell so good? And how you can never replicate the same for your laundry at home? Well look no further, this gives laundry that fresh washed smell even weeks after living in the dresser. I tested my Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but all opinions are my own. I will be buying more

Smells great, but not sure if it's worth it

I used these beads on a few loads of laundry. It smells nice (it smells like laundry softener to me, which I don't currently use), and continued to keep smelling that way after a dry cycle. They're also kind of hard to use in a front-load washer. You can't put it in the detergent dispenser, and in sprinkling it on my clothes inside the washer, some beads always inevitably fell out, and after the the washer was done there were some undissolved beads that got stuck in between the door and the rubber lining the washer. Our clothes aren't particularly smelly, so it's hard for me to judge its value in removing odor, but if you want to give your laundry and extra dose of pleasantness you can try them out. I received the Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free for testing purposes, but all opinions here are my own.

Smells Good but Doesn't Last Long

I tried to use this product on the sheets for my bed and loved the smell at first. The smell faded after a couple days even though I was expecting it to last a little longer. I did received these products complimentary for testing purposes, however my opinion is all my own!

This product smells so amazing!!

I received this product free in the mail to test it. I am so impressed by this product! As soon as you open the package you can smell the beads. They have a very strong but fresh clean smell to them! My husband is in the army so his uniform normally smells awful. These downy fresh protect beads really help keep his uniform smelling fresh all day long!

This product is simple to use and smells amazing.

I received a sample of this product for testing purposes. I decided to try it out on the dirtiest laundry in the house. My husband's military uniforms. After an 8 month deployment. And let me tell you they smell amazing! He gets so many compliments about how good his clothes smell. My favorite was someone smelling him and telling he smelled "pretty" and my husband was confused since he hadn't showered in 3 days. It definitely keeps your clothes smelling great.

This product smells great!

This product was very easy to use and smells so good! I've never used any type of odor shield or scent booster before in my wash, but I'm completely hooked now! I'm going to pick up some more of this and also tell everyone I know to try it! I especially liked using this product with towels, because it's so hard to keep towels smelling fresh and clean. I also think it would be great for using on sports clothes and items after use! I received this product free for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

This is my new go to! Great long lasting smell.

I love these beads! I used them for my athletic wear and that was a good idea and a perfect use! They don't smell sweaty, and even better, I smell good while I am working out. I got asked what I use to wash my laundry today. I also used it to wash my towels, they smell so clean right after a shower. I received this product complimentary for testing purposes, but this review is of my own opinion

Great Smelling Product

As a first time user i was surprised at how much i liked the product. It has a wonderful smell to it, great for those summer time clothes. It can be over powering so used to your needs. Defiantly recommend this product if you want an extra sent boost to your clothing, but remember this is not a detergent.

Downy Fresh Protect- new addition to my wash

I used this product with my wash when I did a bedsheets and bath towel load as I wasn't sure how fragrant it would be and I'm not the type to like to have a heavy scent. I was surprised that it was the perfect level of scent for me. Just enough to smell fresh but not overloading and heavy. It was easy to use by just pouring the contents in the wash. they are pellets so no liquid to clean up afterwards. I tested this Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but all opinions are my own.

Worked great and smells awesome!

I decided to try these in a load of towels. Lately the towels had a musty, mildew odor that would not come out even after using a strong detergent and and Oxy additive. These little beauties did the trick! The tOwen's came out smelling awesome and the smell lasted for several days. I will definitely be purchasing these. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
