Downy Rinse and Refresh Cool Cotton - Rinse Out Odors

A: It’s a replacement. It rinses residues from your fabrics. IMO it does make your clothes softer.

A: 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.

A: 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.

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.

A: Yes, it will, sometimes, however, wash them twice with the downy rinse. Depending on how much you use.

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.

A: This product is HE-compatible.

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.

A: 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.

A: Thanks for asking. Unfortunately, we have not tested with using this sanitizer.

A: Rinse and Refresh can remove soap residues from Fabric and the washing machine, releasing more detergent into the wash, causing suds. It shouldn't be much though.

A: Yes, this is a great way to remove pet odors.

A: No, this product is not designed to kill germs and bacteria. Just bad odors.

A: The number of uses will vary by bottle as you may need to use more or less dependent on the load.
