Q: Is this a fabric softener or is it strictly for stubborn odor treatment? I don’t want a fabric softener
submitted by E - 8 months ago
A: Thank you for your inquiry regarding Downy Rinse Out Odor - Free & Gentle Unscented.
I would like to clarify that Downy Rinse Out is not a traditional fabric softener. Unlike conventional liquid fabric softeners that lubricate fibers to make them soft and fresh, Downy Rinse Out is specifically designed to tackle stubborn odors.
Here are some key points about Downy Rinse Out:
- Purpose: It is formulated to remove odor-causing residues rather than to soften fabrics.
- Ingredients: With only 5 ingredients, it effectively breaks down and eliminates the residues left behind after washing that can lead to unpleasant odors.
- Usage: Its unique formula works during the rinse cycle, ensuring that your fabrics are fresh without the added softness of traditional fabric softeners.
If you are looking for a product strictly for stubborn odor treatment without the effects of a fabric softener, Downy Rinse Out Odors is an excellent choice.
If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to reach out at (800) 688-7638, we will be more than happy to help!
Guests appreciate the Downy Rinse and Refresh Free and Gentle for its effectiveness in removing odors and leaving clothes feeling soft without any fragrance.

However, some guests express concerns about packaging issues and occasional product inconsistencies. Overall, it is seen as a valuable addition for those seeking a gentle yet effective laundry solution.

no fragrance and seems to protect against build up. Unfortunately not always available in my area and I have sensitivities that the fragranced version aggrivates.

My nose cannot do ANY smells. My husband is the polar opposite. And with the reinvention of cologne, I am gagging constantly. This keeps my home, clothes, bedding, sent free, and soft like it’s supposed to be. I just wish that they would make this available in the stores. Btw. Scent was invented to mask the smells from skunks ☺️. NO SCENT!!!!!!

My only complain about this product is that it isn’t filled to the top not sure why there is quite a bit missing from the product. For a cleaning product almost $7 wouldn’t mind paying if the product was filled in its entirety.

As someone with sensitive skin and a daily metro commute, standard scented softeners and dryer sheets always irritated my skin while still leaving stubborn sweat odors behind. Downy Rinse & Refresh Free & Gentle completely changed my laundry game—it acts like an essential "second wash" that strips deep-set odors while protecting my clothes from washer and dryer wear. My clothes finally come out feeling soft, genuinely clean, and completely odor-free without any irritating fragrance.

The product itself is great, but the packing needs work. The bottle is difficult to pour from - it needs a handle and ideally a spout more similar to other downy products.

It's unscented formula leaves my towels and sheets clean smelling with no overwhelming scent. Even though it isn't a fabric softener my towels appear to be softer. It's rare to find a product that actually performs as it says.

Love this for my delicates!
I usually rinse with vinegar or pure citric acid, but for my delicates I love this rinse and refresh product! It really helps remove the extra detergent and leaves my clothes feeling much softer. Fun fact: your clothes don’t need softener, they are usually stiff from built up detergent! I just wish they had bigger bottles!

Clear and fragrance free
I really like that they have a fragrance free version. We have sensitive noses and skin in my household and I’m able to make my kids clothes smell better using this paired with natural and fragrant free detergents.

No more animal odor
Game changer. I used this on clothes I wear while farming (animals). They somehow don’t smell farm-y anymore! I’ve always washed with a vinegar rinse but compared to this stuff the vinegar is no match. If it can take out the smell of cuddling with animals that live outdoors and roll around in Everything, it should be able to get out your odors!

Pass for me
I had high hopes for Downy Rinse & Refresh Clear and Gentle, but it didn’t make much of a difference. Odors were still there, and my clothes didn’t feel any fresher or softer than usual. Not worth the price in my opinion. Just because it didn’t work for me might work for you, but I ended up returning it.

Leaves odd odor
Not fragrance free . Left an odd unpleasant smell in my towels. They smelled fine before washing and using this product. Wanted something with no smell to help remove hard water residue. Used as directed but the spout is ridiculous. Will have to rewash towels and hope they will smell better.
