Q: I'm just learning how to do laundry and I don't quite remember how to add this product to the wash please help me

submitted by Newton - 7 years ago

  • A: We're here to help! If your machine has a dispenser, shake the bottle well before using, measure out enough liquid in the cap, and then add the liquid to your dispenser according to the machine's instructions. If you don't have a dispenser, shake the bottle well, measure out the liquid in the cap, and then add it to the final rinse cycle, remembering to push the clothes aside to avoid pouring it directly on them.

Q: how to best use this product

submitted by Newton - 7 years ago

  • A: That will depend on if your machine has a dispenser or not. Always shake the bottle well before using, regardless. If your machine has a dispenser, measure the liquid out using the cap and pour the liquid into the dispenser according to the machine's instructions. If your machine doesn't have a dispenser, measure the liquid in the cap and add the liquid to the final rinse cycle, pushing away the clothes to avoid pouring it directly onto your laundry.

    Soft and fresh

    I've been using the Downy Ultra April Fresh Liquid Fabric Conditioner for a while now and it's a pretty solid everyday fabric softener that gets the job done. The April Fresh scent is nice and clean without being too overwhelming, and it does leave your clothes smelling pleasant after washing. It makes fabrics feel noticeably softer, although I wouldn't say the difference is dramatic compared to some other conditioners I've tried. It's easy to use, widely available, and reasonably priced, so it's a convenient option if you just want something reliable for your laundry routine. Overall, it's a decent product that works as expected, nothing too extraordinary but nothing disappointing either.

    Must Have It

    Packaged proffesionally! soft on fabric, scent does not overwhelm the smell of your lotion or body spray. Always use the recommended measurement. You can use it with any laundry detergent.

    Smells wonderful

    I love this fabric softener for its light floral scent. The strength of the scent isn't too crazy. And it has the perfect concentration for a full load. The tip of the dispenser makes it easier to pour into my laundry dispenser. I love to pair it with the scent.Beads and the tide downey. I reccomend for a light yet nice scent.

    Softens clothes and leaves them smelling fresh!

    Ultra Downy April Fresh smells wonderful and makes our clothes soft. It’s easy to add to the dispenser and doesn’t leave a sticky film. The concentration is just right. Not too thick and not watered down.
