As a mom, I feel like I am constantly doing laundry. And to add insult to injury we are a paper
free home – which means a lot of rags/washcloths/towels being washed
constantly. It seems like as soon as I
have all the laundry washed, there is another load ready to go.

I love the advice of doing one load of laundry at a time,
really I do, but for some reason, I can never seem to get that to work. Instead, I do three loads of laundry pretty
much every other day – crazy, right?!

We recently got a new front loading washing machine, and
immediately my laundry routine was thrown off.
I wasn’t entirely pleased with the smell and feel of my clothes after
washing.

So, I did what every mom out there would do. I switched up my laundry routine.
I have always been a bit of purest when it comes to my
laundry. I like to make my own laundry
soap, we didn’t use fabric softener or even dryer sheets; but I needed a
change. I started using DownyFabric Conditioner.

Now, I want you to know that it has absolutely changed my
laundry routine! I no longer have to
worry about a weird musty smell when I wash my laundry, it smells so fresh and
clean as soon as it comes out of the washing machine. I am also amazed at how it has breathed new
life into the myriad assortment of rags, washcloths and towels that we seem to
use and wash constantly.

They are old. They
probably should have been replaced long ago, but I don’t like to get rid of
useful items. Even though these rags and
washcloths felt like they had been hung out to dry on the line (you know the
feeling – rough, scratchy, anything but soft), two washes with the Downy Fabric
Conditioner, and they were soft as the day I purchased them.

Because we are constantly washing our clothes and towels,
they can get agitated and wear out easily.

My clothes come out feeling soft, smelling fresh, and will end
up lasting longer. The colors stay
bright, and that is good for everyone!

Downy Fabric Conditioner can easily be picked up when you do

June 21, 2016 at 12:39 amOmg I just love Downy!!! My mom used this fabric softener when I was a kiddo and I'm now hooked!

June 19, 2016 at 5:15 pmI love Downy products! I try to do laundry one load at a time but it seems my laundry basket grows by the seconds. Hopefully one day I'll find a routine that works.

June 19, 2016 at 2:52 amI haven't been one to use fabric softener in a while. I had an issue where it kept bleaching my clothes so I gave up on it, however my clothes recently haven't been coming out of the wash like they used to the fabric doesn't feel right. Maybe trying out the Downy Fabric Conditioner is in my future!

June 18, 2016 at 9:22 pmWe keep a fabric softener on hand but I go through spurts of using it! I like it on my towels and sheets but not always on my clothes! We go through a lot of laundry – it's pretty ridiculous!

June 18, 2016 at 2:53 pmI do a ridiculous amount of laundry as a triathlete, and a mom of two very active boys. We live in Florida so always sweaty and so it's two set of clothes per day per person. Talk about washing! I like to have my clothes feel soft but I rarely put them in the dryer so this is great! Thanks

June 18, 2016 at 2:00 amI've never actually used anything like this before! We just wash our clothes with Tide Pods and use fabric sheets (or whatever they are called) in the dryer.

June 17, 2016 at 7:31 pmMy mom has always been a fan of Downy and I can easily understand why. It makes fabrics feel utterly soft!

June 17, 2016 at 11:52 amLaundry is my daughter's job. I'm almost positive we still use Downey. I'm going to ask her.

June 17, 2016 at 4:36 amI only use Downy, I don't use anything else. I recently just purchased this at Costco and it's sitting there for my next load.

June 17, 2016 at 3:05 amI love downy! My husband used to use Downy when we just started out dating. The smell made me think of him so much that when he was away working, I got a bunch of Downy to wash my sheets to make me feel like I was cuddling with him still.

June 17, 2016 at 2:26 amSince you now have the front loader, make sure you keep the door AND the detergent drawer OPEN when you are not using the washer. Mold grows in them so fast if you don't do this! I do love using Downy for our sheets and towels. I have an odd obsession with soft and good smelling clean laundry!

June 17, 2016 at 1:37 amI've actually never tried Downy, I've always used Bounce. I have ton of rags to use for cleaning, yet I seem to gravitate to the same one.
Amethyst Moon says
June 17, 2016 at 1:04 amI like to reuse old rags, too, so I know the smell you speak of. I'll check Downy Fabric Conditioner to help with this. Thanks!
