Only detergent I buy!

Convenient, cleans well, toss in the wash and go! Cleans better than any other detergent I’ve tried in the past.

Easy and mess free

Love tide pods! My husband would always use way to much liquid detergent or would make a huge mess with it so these pods have solved both of those problems.

I'm not going back to Cheer

We love this product, and the April fresh scent and it does not leave a mess in the laundry. We used in white towels as well a color clothes and no issues so far. We are not going back to Cheer.

April Fresh Scent

Way too strong. After getting out of the shower, I used a clean towel that had recently been washed with the 4in1 Downy (April Fresh), and the scent actually clung to my hair the entire day.
