    Great for towels

    Love it on towels or bed clothes. Do not wash underwear and bras with it. Since using it where my bra is under boobs and the leg band of my underwear hits it's like a burn very painful. Have to rewash all my things to get this stuff out of them.

    This was my favorite laundry product until I discovered Downy tests on animals. WHY?? Proctor & Gamble is the parent company that is not cruelty free.

    Works Great on Tough Smells- While Gentle Too

    My second choice when using rinse and refresh from Downy. It doesn’t irritate the skin and leaves a refreshing scent on clothes and towels. Even after tough practices and sports days, it helps leave stinky towels and gear smelling fresh like they were never used.

    Terrible scent

    It works in so far as it made the previous smells on my garment go away, but now it smells like one of those cheap car fresheners that hang from the rearview mirror.
    1 reply from Customer Care team - 3 months ago
    Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding the Downy Rinse & Refresh Active Fresh scent. We understand how important it is for your laundry products to not only effectively remove odors but also leave your fabrics smelling pleasant and fresh. Downy Rinse & Refresh Active Fresh is designed to remove stubborn odors and residues deep within fabrics while providing softness and freshness. It uses an organic acid (Citric Acid) to lower the pH of the rinse, which helps eliminate malodors rather than just masking them. The product is formulated to be gentle on sensitive skin and safe for all fabrics, including activewear and baby clothes. We take product quality and consumer satisfaction very seriously. Your experience with the scent is important to us, and we want to ensure that our products meet your expectations. We kindly ask you to contact our service team at (800) 688-7638 so we can look into this matter further and assist you directly. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We appreciate your trust in Downy and are committed to providing you with the best laundry care solutions.

    It’s amazing. Clothes feel clean and smells so good. It takes off any residue that laundry detergent leaves on your clothes. I can’t do without this…it’s amazing!

    Not a good smell at all- sirprised its Downy!

    This is super gross and I’m very disappointed since I enjoy the smell of other Downy products a lot, and was certain this would be a winner. However both my wife and I agree the odor is unpleasant when you open the bottle, but was certain in the wash it would be different… sadly it still smelled gross and now I had a load of laundry to fix. After two washing with my usual soap and Downy scent beads (still love the beads) we could finally not smell this rinse product. The gross smell seems to be a mixture of awful musk and a musty Deet or sweat kind of odor. I will be returning and do not recommend the rinse products at all (because I tried the other fragrances as well and all of them have an unpleasant sweat/musty odor effect!). Hoping Downy goes back to formula to formula.

    Hi Paul! Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding Downy Rinse Out Odor. We understand how disappointing it can be when a product does not meet your expectations, especially when you enjoy other Downy scents. Scent preferences can vary greatly from person to person, and while some may find the fragrance appealing, others may not. Downy Rinse Out Odor is designed to focus more on the removal of odors rather than providing a strong scent, which might explain the difference you experienced compared to other Downy products. If you are still unsatisfied with the product, we encourage you to reach out to our service team at (800) 688-7638. They can assist you further and address any concerns you may have. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
