Q: Can this product be used in a "HE"high efficiency washer machine?
submitted by Hopson - 9 months ago
A: This is not an answer but I was going to ask the same question because I do not see on the bottle saying .."HE" compatible or can be used in a "HE" high efficiency machine. P& G please confirm this and is it printed on the label? Thank you
submitted byMomma D - 2 months agoA: This product is HE-compatible.

Q: Can I use this product with lysols laundry sanitizer?
submitted by Kcroom - 11 months ago
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.
submitted byJen - 5 months agoA: 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.

Q: If we're adding it to the fabric softener dispenser, are we mixing it with the softener or using it in place of the fabric softener? That isn't clear since it says it's not a fabric softener. Thanks!
submitted by Erika - 11 months ago
A: You've mentioned what it not to say of Downy years ago on TV. Your clothes will come out NOT static clean. This is not a fabric softener.
submitted byCharles - 6 months agoA: 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.
submitted byP&G - 11 months agoBrand expert
Q: Is this safe for fabrics that have do not add fabric softener
submitted by Billieski - 1 year ago
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.
submitted byDowny - 1 year agoBrand expert
Q: Can you use it on silk?
submitted by Kimono - 5 months ago
A: That's a great question! Downy Rinse and Refresh is safe for all washable fabrics.
submitted byDowny - 5 months agoBrand expert
Q: When do I put this in my washer or what slot do I put it in?
submitted by Jaime - 5 months ago
A: Downy Rinse and Refresh is a rinse-added product, so it goes in the fabric softener dispenser on most washing machines. It can also be added in the center post agitator for traditional top-loading machines, or it can be added directly to the drum during the rinse cycle.
submitted byDowny - 5 months agoBrand expert
Q: If you pour this straight in the washer at the start of the cycle, instead of during the rinse cycle, is the product still effective?
submitted by JH - 7 months ago
A: For the best results with this product, we recommend using it as directed.
submitted byP&G - 7 months agoBrand expert
Q: Is this good for dark clothes
submitted by Johnyy - 8 months ago
A: You can use Downy Rinse & Refresh on any color clothing. In fact, Downy R&R is safe for all washable fabrics, including activewear and children’s clothing. The low pH rinse removes residues that have built up on your clothes. Trust it'll cut through those dull looking residues and malodor molecules and wash them away, leaving you with only beautiful, great smelling clothes.
submitted byP&G - 8 months agoBrand expert
Q: How much product are you supposed to use?
submitted by Susan - 8 months ago
A: With Downy Rinse and Refresh each load may need a little more or a little less based on your laundry needs. Pour Downy Rinse directly into the fabric softener dispenser. Start by filling half of the dispenser (around 1/4 cup) for normal loads, and pour more for tougher odors.
submitted byDowny - 8 months agoBrand expert
Q: A previous question, unanswered: Is this product safe for septic tanks?
submitted by Nestley - 8 months ago
A: As long as Downy Rinse & Refresh is used as directed, it is safe for septic systems.

Good Marketing Bad Product
1 out of 5 stars
Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
Liz - 9 days ago
This product was not a good fit for me. I think I may have just succumbed to good marketing. First, it's not concentrated, the consistency is like water. Not concentrated=you go through it really quickly. Secondly I was hoping for it to have more fragrance. I'm one of those people who uses fabric softener especially for the scent so replacing the fabric softener with this would not be something I prefer. I even used a 2x extra hoping it would have a better scent. As for the intended use (odor neutralizing) I also wasn't satisfied. The towels I threw in the wash with the 2x extra product did not smell fresh to me. So all in all I cant recommend this.

Gigi - 29 days ago
Horrible Allergic Reaction! I used this stuff in the past and stopped because it was leaving white marks on my black pants. Stupidly washed some pjs with a sample bottle my mom gave me and I got itchy but blamed it on skincare products. The next night i didn’t use any of the skincare and it happened again! This was from the second load I did and it is so much worse.Everywhere the clothing was touching me it was red and in the places with elastic or tight areas it was itching like crazy! There is visible raised patches all over. Oh and by the way there is no leftover smell on my clothes whatsoever. I always use an extra rinse cycle as well.

Gigi, there's nothing more important to us than your safety and complete satisfaction, so we're truly sorry to hear about this. With our quality and safety checks, this is the last thing we expect you to experience when using our Rinse and Refresh as directed, so we ask that you please discontinue using it. This isn't something we take lightly, so we'd like to collect some details for our Quality and Safety Team and troubleshoot this so that we can help. We can be reached at (800) 688-7638.

Ruined my most expensive blanket
1 out of 5 stars
Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
Pickypolly - 2 months ago
This product is NOT compatible with my washer. $100 blanket ruined by hard unwashed Downy rinse being dispensed in the rinse cycle (as per directions) and dried without noticing. The product is just being dumped on top of the load and never rinsed. Blanket is literally hard and has some kind of hard tar or grease streaked across. My washer is cleaned very thoroughly often and has never had this happen. Beware with this product if you are letting your machine decide when to dispense.

blndyindabeema - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
I love using this for towels, bath mats, workout clothes, my sons and partners extra sweat clothes and socks, etc. it’s great as a refresher for fabrics that don’t do well with softener. Smells MUCH better than the softener Cool Cotton scent. Smells like the old Tide Simply Cool Cotton (iykyk!) but never gets the sour smell like the Simply did after a week. Smells so fresh and lasts even longer when paired with the Cool Cotton dryer sheets. I always have this product stocked at home.

Thanks for giving Downy Rinse & Refresh with Cool Cotton scent a try. It may help to know that Downy Rinse & Refresh is a low-pH rinse aid that works to remove odors and residues left behind on items you wear and use, like bath towels. These residues, if left untreated, can build up and lead to odor that can be difficult to remove, even with washing. If you don't like the scent of this product, we suggest giving another version of Rinse & Refresh a try, know we also make this product with Fresh Lavender or Ocean Mist scents. We also make a Fragrance Free Rinse & Refresh. If you'd like to learn more about these options, call us for further assistance.

Worst sealed plug to open - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
I have been using this product for awhile. My most recent buy came with a sealed plug inside the lid that needed to be removed before us. When I removed the sealed plug, the liquid flew out everywhere. It went up my nose, inside my eyes, on the floor and walls. It was everywhere. Shocked I ran to the bathroom blind to wash my face and eyes. My eyes were burning afterwards and blood red. I have never experienced this with other sealed plug products. Please beware.
