    Hello Dear Consumer. Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. We have strict quality controls and it’s unusual for a package to leave our plant with less than the proper amount of product in it. Each of our detergent bottles contains at least the number of ounces stated on the pack. Our bottles are designed and filled to allow for proper pouring. Without some “air space” at the top, pouring the liquid would be very messy, likely causing spilling over the pour spout. If there is less than what's stated on the package please give us a call at (800) 888-4246.

    I've been using Gain Original Fabric Softener, and I really like the results. It leaves my clothes feeling soft, fresh, and comfortable to wear. The scent is clean and long-lasting without beingoverpowering. The bottle is easy to use, and a small amount goes a long way. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fabric softener with a pleasant fragrance and great performance.

    This is the first time something containing liquid was not in a plastic bag and tied with a zip tie. Some of the softener had leaked into the mailing box.

    This is the second time they sent it, and it never arrived. I don't know why they claim it was delivered when that isn't true—a signature is required upon delivery, and I haven't signed for anything

    thick and clumpy

    I don't know what is wrong with this, but it is super thick and full of clumps. I normally use snuggle or sometimes downy and if this is normal for gain, I don't understand why people like it. I have to thin it to use it in my dispenser and it still has left a thick layer of goo inside. Also, I don't get the smell thing because it doesn't even smell good, at least not the original. I will certainly never waste money on it again. I'll stick with snuggle

    I certainly recommend this softener to those looking for soft, fresh, fragrance-lasting clothes. It has become a must-have in my washing routine!

    I have been using Gain Fabric Softener Original and I loved the experience. As for texture, it leaves the clothes incredibly soft to the touch, helping the garments feel comfortable and pleasant after each wash. The durability of the aroma is one of its strongest points. The fresh, clean fragrance remains on the clothes for several days, even when the garments are stored in the closet. Regarding quality, the product delivers what it promises. It helps reduce static, softens fabrics and keeps clothes with a feeling of lasting freshness. In terms of value, I believe that it offers excellent value for money. Being ultra-concentrated, a small amount yields a lot, so the bottle lasts a long time. Usability is also excellent. The packaging is practical, easy to handle and the dispenser makes it easy to measure the right amount without wasting product.
