But Downy Fabric Softener smooths and strengthens fibers to protect clothes from the damage of the wash, helping them maintain their shape. By smoothing fibers, Downy reduces the friction between them that causes them to break and leads to pills and fuzz. And when fibers break, colors appear duller, so using Downy also helps keep your clothes from fading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/6a7c6dbf-151a-454c-8d39-28de07dbef9c.__CR0,0,970,300_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; gap: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 0%;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/dec9226c-cd41-423c-93a5-1ee768c6f537.__CR0,0,300,300_PT0_SX300_V1___.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 0%;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/aa41825a-6890-4dcc-8db0-e39081ceb895.__CR0,0,300,300_PT0_SX300_V1___.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 0%;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/6567b660-e3e0-4c74-b4e3-9a6267294245.__CR0,0,300,300_PT0_SX300_V1___.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/73f08c20-ec32-4a08-a638-17a154dea4e9.__CR0,0,970,300_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 in 1: Soft and Fresh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3X more freshness** ** Longer-lasting scent vs. Tide Original liquid.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApril Fresh scent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust measure and pour into your washer’s fabric softener dispenser drawer or directly into the agitator for long-lasting freshness\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSafe on all washing machines\u003cbr\u003eGive your clothes a softer feel and a long-lasting floral scent with Downy April Fresh Fabric Softener.
