    I have been looking for something to use on my dogs bedding and washable pee pads to remove the urine odor. I put oxiclean, scent booster beads, washed the item 3 times, etc. The smell eouod not go away! I used this once in the doggy pad load and the urine smell is gone. Amazing product. I'll be using this from now on.

    The smell for this one is nice when it’s in the bottle, but once I dry my clothes it smells like pickle juice. I’ve tired other scents and they were great but this one is definitely not a pleasant one.

    Thank you for sharing with us. Our team is always performing quality checks to ensure our products arrive to you in the perfect condition. We wouldn't expect for your Downy Rinse Active Fresh to smell like pickles after you wash your clothes. We'd like to look into this, and would appreciate you giving us a call at (800) 688-7638.

    No matter how many times I washed my dog's bedding, blankets, and toys, there would still be a slight lingering "dog drool smell". And I've noticed my towels don't ever smell totally clean either. So I picked this up to try and now want to immediately rewash everything in my house with it. I seriously cannot believe how well this works to clean and deodorize. I will never be without it.

    It's a great product. Not a big fan of the bottle; having to pour it with its large mouth can cause a mess. Wonder what happened to the squirt cap that is seen in video and on the labeling.Valdr

    Ruined my clothes and stained them
    1 reply from Downy team - 9 months ago
    Thank you for sharing this with us. Our Downy products are put through many quality checks to provide you with the best laundry cleaning experience. The stain can sometimes be a result of your Downy Rinse coming into direct contact with your clothes. We recommend adding your Downy to the rinse cycle. We also recommend dampening the stain, and then rubbing Ivory soap to get out as much of the stain as possible. Then re-wash your clothes at the highest temperature permitted by the care label. We'd like to learn more about your experience, and would appreciate you giving us a call at (800) 688-7638.

    Nothing but good experiences with this product. It’s a lighter scent, but the scent does exist especially if you’re sensitive to strong smells - this one works for US! It’s a bit pricey, and does seem to go fast even with using the 1/4c measurement. Either way, I’m buying more - Haha!

    I bought this thinking my clothes would smell wonderful. I can’t even tell I used it. It’s like I poured water into into the softener bin. Will not be buying again it’s too expensive. What a waste of money.
    1 reply from Customer Care team - 9 months ago
    We're very sorry you're unhappy with your Rinse & Refresh purchase. Rinse & Refresh does contain a perfume, but we also know it is not just covering odors up because of our testing on consumer garments includes an analytical measurement of the presence of specific malodor molecules. There is a significant reduction in the number of these molecules when Downy Rinse and Refresh is used with detergent vs detergent alone. We know that scent preferences can vary from person to person, though, so we really appreciate your taking the time to reach out. We always take consumer feedback into account when making changes or designing future products, so we'll be sure to share your comments on this with the rest of our team.

    Terrible Packaging

    3 out of 5 stars
    CMuniz - 10 months ago
    originally posted on downy.com
    I do like the product, but the packaging is terrible, nowhere in the instructions states how much product needs to be used. There's no measurement cup, and it is really hard to hold the bottle. Only reason I will not buy it again is due the disastrous packaging.
    1 reply from Customer Care team - 10 months ago
    Thank you for sharing that you like your Downy Rinse & Refresh. Our team relies heavily on consumer feedback to help us improve our Downy products, and we truly appreciate you sharing your concerns with the bottle design. We'll be sure to share this with our team. The best thing about our Downy Rinse & Refresh is that you can add a little or a lot depending on how much odor is present in your clothes. We recommend starting with filling half the fabric dispenser for normal loads, and add more or less depending on how much odor is present. If you have any questions, or would like to share more feedback with us, please feel free to give us a call at (800) 688-7638.

    My daughter is a firefighter and her clothes get really bad. Definitely underarm area. Today I tried this Downy Active Rinse along with the Active Tide and it did not cut the oder at all. Saving my money next time and using the home remedies.

    We’re sorry you and your daughter were unhappy with this purchase. When we design our products, we do extensive research and consumer testing to create features that we think you will love. It may help to know that you’ll want to pour the Downy Rinse & Refresh in the liquid fabric softener dispenser or directly in the rinse cycle. We hope this helps, and we'll be sure to share your comments on this with the rest of our team.
