- Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2024Size: 48 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Scent: Active FreshVerified PurchaseI originally purchased it to wash some clothing in that got wet and soured. I washed them with my normal methods with the scent beads etc twice. They smelled fine and were clean but when wearing them and sweating in them they got that sour smell again. I washed them using this product and no scent beads and used a tide pod. The sour smell is gone. Even after a hard days work the clothing still smells fine. Works wonders on my husbands work clothing.
Also works great on bath towels and the shower mat.
Has a pleasant smell to it that is not over powering.
I now have my parents using this to wash their dogs blankets and bed covers in which still had an odd smell after a normal wash. Now they smell fresh and clean and only need washed once a week now. Great product.
I plan to was all of my old outdoor work sneakers with this stuff next.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2024Size: 48 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Scent: Active FreshVerified PurchaseIf you're struggling with lingering odors in your activewear, your kids clothes or towels, this might just be what you need.
I first heard about this from a backstreet boys commercial on the radio! I love BSB so I just had to give it a try. They advertisement definitely got me with them boys.
It's marketed as a laundry odor remover and fabric softener, but honestly, it feels like it does so much more. It's designed to be used alongside your regular detergent, and it specifically targets and eliminates stubborn odors and residues that detergents alone can't handle. It's been a total game changer, especially for my teen kids clothes!
What I love about this product is its triple odor-eliminating power. I don't know how it all works but it really gets into the fabrics and removes those tough smells that usually linger after a regular wash. Plus, it leaves the clothes feeling softer and looking brighter, which is an awesome bonus.
I use it with every wash. For an extra boost of freshness, I've paired it with Downy scent booster beads, and let me tell you, my laundry has never smelled better. But even on its own, Downy RINSE & REFRESH does an impressive job.
If you've been on the fence about trying a new laundry additive, I definitely recommend giving Downy RINSE & REFRESH a shot. It's made a noticeable difference in how my clothes smell.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024Size: 48 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Scent: Active FreshVerified PurchaseThe smell is light & lovely. It cleans any under smell well.
I used it for my Dad’s robe. He passed a couple months ago, and needed to clean out his room at my place. I found his robe, which had not been properly washed in 6 months prior to his passing; and his bed clothes. Those that are caretakers of seniors (my Dad was in his 90’s) know the challenge of keeping things fresh & clean.
This worked in one load!
It saved water & laundry liquid, and came out smelling fresh & clean!!
Same for my Dad’s robe. I couldn’t bear to part with it, but after a regular wash, it still came out of the dryer with an underlying smell; and I worried it would have to be thrown out.
I purchased this, and rewashed; and am so incredibly happy that I took a chance!
During cold spells in March/beginning of April; it was like my Dad was hugging me. It’s now a favorite comfort, to be wrapped up in his large robe & face what I must to get better.
This was a game changer for me. Thank you Downey.
