Q: Is this product "Cruelty Free "?
submitted by Barb - 2 years ago
A: Hi Barb. This is a great question. Thanks for asking it. Downy is not certified as 'Cruelty Free." However, we do want to emphasize that we do not test our products on animals anywhere in the world unless required by law and we are working hard to make all animal testing obsolete. The vast majority of our products are not tested on animals. Over time we expect more of our products will be officially accredited as “Cruelty Free”. If you have further questions, give us a call at (800) 688-7638.

Q: Hello Can I use this product for 4 months babies clothes?
submitted by Lia - 3 years ago
A: Lia, that's a great question. Downy fabric conditioners have been thoroughly evaluated, and clothing washed or dried with any version of Downy is safe for children’s skin. If your baby has sensitive skin, the gentlest option is to use Downy Free & Gentle, which is dermatologist tested and free of dyes & perfumes. Please note, Downy should not be used on children’s sleepwear or garments labeled as flame resistant, as it may reduce flame resistance. If you have any other questions, we are happy to help. Just give us a call at (800) 688-7638.

Q: First time I have used the Free & Gentle, but it comes out thick and will not dissolve. Leaves residue on the clothes. Is this normal?
submitted by Kathy - 5 years ago
A: This certainly isn't normal. We do want to share with you that when storing the product, it can become thick or lumpy when exposed to extreme temperatures (either hot or cold). Best suggestion for storing the product is to store it at room temperature – in a cool, dry place and use it within one year. Give us a call at (800) 688-7638 for further help!

After using Mrs Meyers for so many years I didn't realize how spoiled I was to clothes being soft. Wasn't in the store - bought this version of Downy. Trainwreck. Save your money and just do without because using this is like using nothing at all.
1 reply from Downy team - 15 days ago
Piper, there's nothing quite like Downy softness, so we're sorry that it didn't soften as much as you had hoped it would. If you have not done so already, try adding the softener to the final rinse. We found this yields the best results. Regardless on if you did that or not, we'd love to hear from you about this. Please call us at (800) 688-7638.

This has stained many clothes. I don't use any other liquid forms. It leaves a grease looking splash stain. Very upset, lots of clothes ruined. Doesn't matter that it's for sensitive skin etc if I can't wear the clothes
1 reply from Downy team - 3 months ago
We know how important your fabrics mean to you, so we're sorry to hear about the grease-looking stains. While it's possible it may not be up to our quality standard, these kinds of stains happen when the fabric softener makes contact with the fabrics. Luckily, these stains can be removed. To remove these stains, dampen the spots with warm to hot water and rub with Ivory bar soap, and then rinse. We'd like to make a report to our team and help you with this, so please call us at (800) 688-7638.

This is one of the better fragrance free detergents I’ve tried. Other “natural” options have a weird chemical smell or smell like dirt quite frankly. This one leaves my clothes clean and non-smelly!

I love the Downy Sensitive Fabric Softer in our clothes, because of my family with sensitive skin i can trust the Downy in my rinse water. The dislike, i cannot put it in the white clothes only, because when they are once dry they look like they are still dirty. I cannot put Downy Fabric Softner in the clothes with Clorox Bleach. My family loves the whites clothes pretty white when they come out the dryer.

It softens your laundry but unfortunately it stains. I don’t receive nor I will buy again.
1 reply from TheDownyTeam team - 5 months ago
We're so sorry to hear this. Any fabric softener can cause a greasy spot if it comes in direct contact with the fabric. Sometimes they may also look like wet spots on your garment or colored spots, but they’re not permanent. Our team would be happy to help, and make this right. Could you give us a call when you have a sec.? (800) 688-7638

purchase this item in the third week of January. I opened it to use it today, and it is thick like lotion. You can see in the picture, it is not liquid at all – it is completely like sludge. It also has an odd smell. I tried to return it, but it says the return window has passed. Now I am afraid to order the same product from Target again.
1 reply from TheDownyTeam team - 7 months ago
We're sorry to hear this. When exposed to extreme temperatures these conditioners can thicken, but will return to normal consistency when it reaches room temperatures. The unpleasing scent certainly isn't something we'd expect to hear however, and we'd like to help you with this. So we can make this right, we ask that you please give us a call at (800) 688-7638.
