    This is the only Downy I use. Besides being great for my clothes, it doesn’t stain my new washing machine that is almost 4 years old! It leaves the clothes smelling fresh & clean.

    The Downey should have shopped in its own box. It was loose and placed on top of the two bags of Butterfingers. Candy ended up crushed. They were part of a gift bag, so very disappointed.

    1 reply from Customer Care team - 5 months ago
    We're sorry to hear this. While this thickening can be a result of exposing this softener to extreme temperatures at any point, the product is still safe to use. To do so, mix a capful of product with 1/2 cup warm water until blended. If you have any questions or would like to share more, you're always welcome to give us a call at (800) 688-7638.

    I’ve used Downy Fabric Softener for 40 years, so when I tried this, I thought it would be great. However, it poured out thick as mud and stuck to the sides of my washer drum. It gunked up my fabric softener attachment, too. I was very surprised and disappointed. I do not recommend this product and will never buy it again. Sorry, P

    We're disappointed to hear this. With the many quality tests that Downy products undergo, this isn't something we'd expect. Your loyalty for the past 40+ years means the world to us, and we'd like to help. So we can learn more, we ask that you please give our team a call at (800) 688-7638.

    I love this product. The cost vs the amount of product you get is deceiving. The container says 2.63 L but that is not the amount of liquid in the container. False advertising
    1 reply from Customer Care team - 5 months ago
    While we're thrilled you loved this fabric softener, we're sorry to hear that you didn't get the amount you were expecting. As they're filled by weight and not volume, you should always get the right amount in your container. We'd like to connect about this and help. Please call us at (800) 688-7638.

    It seems to yellows whites. It could be the combination of it with another detergent. But it’s the only new product added to the wash when this happened
