Q: If we're adding it to the fabric softener dispenser, are we mixing it with the softener or using it in place of the fabric softener? That isn't clear since it says it's not a fabric softener. Thanks!
submitted by Erika - 1 year ago
A: It’s a replacement. It rinses residues from your fabrics. IMO it does make your clothes softer.
submitted byMstngSammy - 29 days agoA: Downy Rinse & Refresh is designed to be used with detergent, and can be used with other fabric enhancers like scent boosters or dryer sheets, but not liquid fabric softener or bleach.

Q: Is this safe for fabrics that have do not add fabric softener
submitted by Billie - 2 years ago
A: It’s my first time I am buying this product, if it says it’s safe, it should be! Also, when you read product details you could assume that it works as fabric softener.
submitted byNuri - 1 month agoA: That's a great question. This is not a fabric softener, so it should be safe. However, you may want to double-check with the fabrics manufacturer to make sure.

Q: Can this product be used in a "HE"high efficiency washer machine?
submitted by Hopson - 1 year ago
A: This is not an answer but I was going to ask the same question because I do not see on the bottle saying .."HE" compatible or can be used in a "HE" high efficiency machine. P& G please confirm this and is it printed on the label? Thank you
submitted byMomma D - 8 months agoA: This product is HE-compatible.

Q: Can I use this product with lysols laundry sanitizer?
submitted by Kcroom - 1 year ago
A: Probably a bad idea. Lysol laundry sanitizer’s active ingredients are quaternary ammonium compounds, which would likely be rendered ineffective by the lower pH created by the citric acid in this product. Basically they cancel each out. FYI, the quat disinfectants in Lysol’s product aren’t super great for the environment and at high concentrations, they may pose some health risks (mostly skin and lung irritation, but in mice, high doses are associated with other health issues. But people aren’t mice, and the dose makes the poison, so it’s probably fine when used at directed), but still, if this citric acid rinse gets you the same results, it’s probably a better option.
submitted byJen - 11 months agoA: For the best results, we suggest using Downy Rinse and Refresh as directed. Please reach out to the other manufacturer to see what you can use that sanitizer on.

Q: Will this get the mildew odor out of clothes you left overnight in the washing machine?
submitted by WTaurisani - 3 months ago
A: Downy Cool Cotton Rinse and Refresh has three times more odor removal power. It replaces your liquid fabric softener and acts as a laundry detergent booster to help remove stubborn odors and residues deep within fabrics.
submitted byDowny - 3 months agoBrand expert
Q: is it good for pet odors
submitted by Mom - 4 months ago
A: Yes, this is a great way to remove pet odors.
submitted byP&G - 4 months agoBrand expert
Q: Does this product kill germs and bacteria?
submitted by XT515 - 4 months ago
A: No, this product is not designed to kill germs and bacteria. Just bad odors.

Q: How many uses per bottle?
submitted by Tt - 5 months ago
A: The number of uses will vary by bottle as you may need to use more or less dependent on the load.

Q: Can you use it on silk?
submitted by Kimono - 1 year ago
A: That's a great question! Downy Rinse and Refresh is safe for all washable fabrics.
submitted byDowny - 1 year agoBrand expert
Q: When do I put this in my washer or what slot do I put it in?
submitted by Jaime - 1 year ago
A: Downy Rinse and Refresh is a rinse-added product, so it goes in the fabric softener dispenser on most washing machines. It can also be added in the center post agitator for traditional top-loading machines, or it can be added directly to the drum during the rinse cycle.

Fresh, Clean and Soft
Our clothes smell better, are softer, and just feel overall very clean after I use a little of this downy rise and refresh in our wash. I mix this with our regualr laundry detergent. I am senstive to smells and also detergent can bother my skin, no issues with this!

Doesn't remove odors; just masks them
I have several tees that have "perma-stink" from sweat, and nothing has worked to remove it. So, I decided to try this product, despite the high price. Of course, it doesn't work, either. It doesn't remove the odor; only masks it with a perfume that is so strong it makes my eyes water. Now my shirts smell like perfume AND perma-stink. Very disappointed.

Great product
This product works. The bottle has a screw top lid and liquid is very sticky if it gets on you which makes the bottle gross. Sure would nice if the large size had a flip top lid.

Not a fan
I was not impressed with this product, for one, it’s not a very big bottle, two, it didn’t add a clean fresh scent and I feel the Lysol Laundry Sanitizer works much better.

Decent product, horrible bottle
Here’s the thing: I like the product, it works well. And maybe this is me, but the bottle is literally the worst container I have ever had the misfortune of attempting to use. It’s unwieldy, slippery, I’ve managed to drop it multiple times, and it splashes out of the fabric softener dispenser in my washer and ends up all over the floor. Downey, please help this (perhaps uncoordinated?) woman get a better grip on your product by changing your packaging. Please. I beg you.

Heavenly laundry
I love how this adds just the right amount of scent and freshness to my laundry without being too over-powering or perfum-y. All you need is a little and smelly clothes and laundry odors come out smelling great!

Not sure what the hype is about
I love using downy for that fresh and soft feeling so I decided to try this but I wasn’t impressed. I actually don’t like the smell and the clothes and towels aren’t as soft as when using downy. Maybe this is better for a laborers clothing where smells get caked in but I can’t see how it would even freshen them up. Waste of money.

Terrible Bottle Design
The design of this bottle is terrible. It's awkwardly shaped and you pour it straight into the dispenser from the bottle. This is extremely difficult for people whose hands are not as strong. Caused it to slip out of my hand and spill half the bottle all over the floor.

Good Marketing Bad Product
This product was not a good fit for me. I think I may have just succumbed to good marketing. First, it's not concentrated, the consistency is like water. Not concentrated=you go through it really quickly. Secondly I was hoping for it to have more fragrance. I'm one of those people who uses fabric softener especially for the scent so replacing the fabric softener with this would not be something I prefer. I even used a 2x extra hoping it would have a better scent. As for the intended use (odor neutralizing) I also wasn't satisfied. The towels I threw in the wash with the 2x extra product did not smell fresh to me. So all in all I cant recommend this.

Extreme ALLERGIC reaction ITCHY RED SKIN
Horrible Allergic Reaction! I used this stuff in the past and stopped because it was leaving white marks on my black pants. Stupidly washed some pjs with a sample bottle my mom gave me and I got itchy but blamed it on skincare products. The next night i didn’t use any of the skincare and it happened again! This was from the second load I did and it is so much worse.Everywhere the clothing was touching me it was red and in the places with elastic or tight areas it was itching like crazy! There is visible raised patches all over. Oh and by the way there is no leftover smell on my clothes whatsoever. I always use an extra rinse cycle as well.
