Downy Unstopables Review and Giveaway!

A few months ago I was given a free sample of Downy Unstopables from Vocalpoint.  The scent I received was called "Fresh".  First look you would think this was a fabric softener, but it's not.  It's a scent booster to be used with or without softener.  Supposedly the scent from this product last will last longer than 30 days.   I noticed the scent close to about one weeks in my closet.  To me, that's an alright amount of time.

First thing I noticed when I opened the box was it smelt like Spring to me, which instantly put a smile on my face.  They also have another scent called "Lush".  In fact, the other thing I saw was that they are little bead like  things.  They reminded me of candy melts, silly I know.  See for yourself:

 I quickly looked up to see if it could be used in the HE washers, and was thrilled to see that it does!  All you have to do is throw some into the cap and throw them into the drum, not drawer.  I thought that was kind of cool.  Simple to use for a busy Mom.

My only complaint is that the scent didn't last as long as it says it would.  It was very simple to use, but for the price I've seen it in stores, I don't think I would personally buy it.  But again, I'm not really too big on things like this.  I usually use laundry detergent and that's it.  No dryers sheets either.

I have a free sample I would like to send to a lucky reader to give Downy Unstopables a try.  Just leave a comment with your first name and last initial and the state you are from.  Let me know how you do your laundry to save money!  Contest ends on March 15, 2012 at Midnight EST.  I will announce the winner following 3 days after the 15th and they will have 48 hours to respond or the prize will go to another winner. Winners will be chosen via Random.org.

 I was given a sample of Downy Unstopables to test it out and give my opinion.  I was not paid for my opinion, all opinions on this blog are my own.  This is not a sponsored post.
