I thought I knew everything about laundry that I needed to know. I have been doing my own laundry since I was a teenager, so that's going on 17 years of laundry. I have mastered getting stains out, and with a five-year-old, newborn, and messy husband, that says a lot. Bringing a baby back into the mix has really amped up the dirty laundry production in my house. I thought that my two guys- boy and hubs, made a ton of dirty laundry, but I had forgotton all about all the the extra laundry that a baby produces, as well.

What about mom's clothes? Well, they've seen better days. I usually go for what's comfortable and easy to wear, and things that I don't mind being covered in spit-up. Every now and then (at least on Sundays), the family dresses up for church, and I want and need to look nice and fresh. I don't want to wear anything that's stiff, wrinkled, or spit-up covered to church.

Stiff clothes are the worst. Our dryer was recently out of commission, and we were using a drying rack to dry our clothing, towels, and cloth napkins. Not being able to put those wet items into a dryer really made the fabrics all stiff and paper-like when they dried. I was desperate for a solution (I actually don't mind air-drying the clothes) so our clothes and towels would be soft after drying. That's where Downy comes in. Downy Fabric Conditioner is my new favorite laundry product! Downy April Fresh Fabric Conditioner softens, freshens, and protects your clothes, leaving them with a pleasing floral scent. It’s easy to use in both top- and front-loading machines.


I was eager to try out the Downy Fabric Conditioner, especially since the dryer was temporarily out of order. The product comes in a colorful Downy pour spout container with a cute flower petal lid. It's easy to use, and pour right into your washing machine. Just a little bit per load will do.


I tested the Downy Fabric Conditioner with a load of clothes, and a load of towels. No one likes stiff clothes or papery towels- they don't feel good against soft skin. After the clothes and towels came out of the washing machine, they were hung to dry. I was immediately impressed by the way they felt- soft to the touch, and virtually wrinkle free. PS- just because you hand clothes to dry doesn't mean they'll be free of wrinkles. The Downy Fabric Conditioner helped the clothes keep their shape, kept them feeling soft, and wrinkle-free! The towels were also very soft and fluffy feeling, as if they had come out of the dryer.

I had been washing laundry at home, and then taking wet loads to my mother-in-law's house to dry them. With the Downy Fabric Conditioner, I don't have to go back and forth with loads of laundry while we either shop for a new dryer or try to get ours fixed. I am so happy to have all of the laundry here at home, and happy to have it super soft. Not having to iron the clothing is a huge time saver, as well. I stink at ironing, anyway!
