Freshen up Your laundry with Downy Fresh Protect #MomsShopWalmart Giveaway

Disclosure: I am a P&Gmom/mamanP&G. As part of my affiliation with this group I receive products and special access to P&G events and opportunities. The opinions on this blog are my own.

We were hanging out at the lake and the weather turned warm. The kids could not resist anymore and took their socks off and dipped their feet in the water. We after a few waves and some laughs one of them fell in. We always have a change of clothes on hand,so it was no big deal to dry off and carry on with our day. Unfortunately we forgot the damp clothes in the truck overnight and they were very stinky when I discovered them.

Have you ever stumbled upon some stinky damp clothes? You really have a small window before they are ruined for good. Then I went to clean up my teen’s rooms and found their gym clothes had been sitting in their bags all weekend.

Luckily I am armed with a laundry room full of great products including  Downy Fresh Protect.

Downy Fresh Protect

This month, Tide is launching the new Tide + Downy Odor Defense Collection. With the help of Febreze in-wash odor defense technology, the Odor Defense Collection is a laundry regimen specifically designed to eliminate odors instead of just masking them. Each product in the Odor Defense Collection works at a different fiber level to break down dirt and body soils so smells don’t “rebloom” or come back.

You may ask yourself, “What is rebloom?!” Rebloom is when your clothes start smelling moments after you put them on or start to smell even though you recently washed them. For example, when your newly cleaned workout clothes start to smell after only a few minutes back at the gym, or when your towels start to smell like mildew again the day after you’ve washed them (Yuck!). Other laundry products may mask, or fail to fully remove, these malodor-causing bacteria.

tide-downy

The last thing anyone wants is to put on clean clothes and have them be smelly!

There’s a simple solution to this problem that plagues all of us, and it involves using these three products which can be found at Walmart:

TIDE PODS PLUS FEBREZE ODOR DEFENSE: This 4-in-1 laundry detergent pac cleans odors from fabrics while removing residue and surface stains. * Remember to keep laundry pacs away from children

TIDE ODOR RESCUE WITH FEBREZE ODOR DEFENSE: This in-wash booster deep cleans to remove dirt and odors that have gotten trapped down in fibers. Just add to your wash along with Tide Pods plus Febreze Odor Defense and Downy Fresh Protect with Febreze Odor Defense and let it do the heavy stain and odor lifting for you.

DOWNY FRESH PROTECT WITH FEBREZE ODOR DEFENSE: Downy’s motion-activated beads eliminate and combat odors while also sealing in the odor protection technology so clothes stay fresh all day long. Just add it in with your detergent at the start of the wash cycle. Available in Active Fresh and Fresh Blossom scents.

I was happy that a little went a long way in keeping our laundry smelling fresh and odor free. With two teen boys there is no shortage of stinky laundry! I have even noticed my kids smelling their clothes throughout the days since we have been using Downy Fresh Protect 🙂
