Ultra Downy April Fresh “Clean Sheet Week” Challenge Giveaway (ends 2/28)

by | Feb 20, 2011 | Giveaways | 174 comments

This post may contain affiliate links. See my disclosure policy for more details.

Have you tried the new improved Ultra Downy April Fresh?  It uses dual note scent pearls to provide a whole week of freshness in just one wash so that you can experience a full Clean Sheet Week.  The weather has been cold, and you have probably wanted to spend more and more time in your warm bed.  IF so then you know it’s important to keep your sheets as fresh as possible.

P&G sent me a bottle of the new Ultra Downy so I could take part in the “Clean Sheet Week” challenge.  I was eager to try because there is nothing better than climbing into bed at the end of the day to some nice comfortable clean smelling sheets.

When my bottle arrived I grabbed my favorite sheets to try it out.  The first night they were so fresh…. the second night they were still fresh and by the end of the week I could still smell the freshness.  It wasn’t as strong as the first day but it was still there.  And for a day or two more.  I’ve been using it since (the bottle is almost gone) and not only have the sheets and blankets been nice and fresh but our cloths have been too!

Did you want to take the challenge too??

Giveaway: (1) Koupon Karen reader will win a bottle of the New Ultra Downy to try the “Clean Sheet Week” challenge too!

    I love it when things smell good. I’m the one with the sensitive nose in the family. I can always smell a good/bad smell before anyone. I love smelling my clothes when they first come out of the dryer but usually that’s short lived. I would love to be able to smell the freshness a little longer, especially if it’s still smelling good when I go to wear it.
