About this product

Downy Calm liquid fabric softener. This option contains 1 pouch × 93 fl oz.

Calm fabric softener with lavender and vanilla bean

Downy Ultra Soft Calm Liquid Fabric Softener combines fabric softness with Lavender & Vanilla Bean fragrance. This offer contains one 93 fluid ounce bottle, equivalent to 2.76 liters, labeled for up to 138 medium loads at the directed dose. The Calm fragrance pairs lavender with vanilla bean and floral freesia notes. It suits shoppers who want a floral and softly sweet scent in compatible washed clothes and linens, together with a separate conditioning step.

The liquid formula includes a softening agent and fragrance, and is free of dyes. It does contain fragrance allergens, so dye free should not be read as perfume free. This product is a fabric conditioner to use alongside your usual detergent. Detergent cleans the load, while Calm adds softness and fragrance during the rinse stage. The scent name describes the fragrance experience; choose the product according to your laundry needs and fabric care requirements.

Use the softener dispenser and cap guide

Measure for the size of the load using this bottle's cap and its medium or HE large load guide. The bottle permits up to a full cap for extra freshness. Follow the package guide and your washer's dispenser limits, rather than assuming a full cap is needed for every load. The up to 138-load count is based on medium loads, so using larger amounts will reduce the number of washes you obtain from the 93 fluid ounce bottle.

Add your usual detergent, then pour the measured softener into the designated softener dispenser, a Downy Ball or directly into the rinse water as appropriate for your washer. Follow the appliance manual for the compartment location and recommended rinse settings. Do not pour concentrated softener directly onto clothes. It is compatible with standard and high efficiency washing machines. Its rinse cycle use differs from fragrance beads placed in the washer drum before the laundry.

Check the fabric exclusions before washing

Do not use on fluffier fabrics such as fleece, velour, chenille or terry cloth. Do not use on children’s sleepwear or garments labeled flame resistant, because it may reduce flame resistance. Liquid fabric softener can increase fabric flammability, and using more than recommended can increase this effect. Read the clothing care labels and these restrictions before adding the product to any load, including a mixed load that contains one of the excluded fabrics.

Keep the bottle closed between uses and store laundry supplies out of children’s reach. Only the single 93 fluid ounce bottle of Calm liquid fabric softener is included. Matching Calm scent beads and dryer sheets are separate products with different placement instructions. Check the product form and volume when replacing your supply, since a matching Lavender & Vanilla Bean scent does not mean the contents or directions are identical across the Downy range.

Questions about this product

What does the Calm fragrance smell like?

Calm combines lavender and vanilla bean with floral freesia notes. It is a scented fabric softener designed to add fragrance and softness to suitable laundry. The formula contains fragrance allergens even though it is free of dyes.

Should Calm go into the detergent compartment?

Use the designated fabric softener compartment, a Downy Ball or the rinse water as appropriate for your washer. Add your regular detergent separately. Follow the appliance manual for the correct rinse cycle method and dispenser settings.

How much softener should I use?

Use the medium or HE large load guide on this bottle's cap, with up to a full cap permitted for extra freshness. Follow the package and your washer's dispenser limits. Larger doses yield fewer than 138 medium-load measurements.

Can I use it on fleece and children’s sleepwear?

Do not use it on fleece, velour, chenille, terry cloth, children’s sleepwear or flame resistant garments. It may reduce flame resistance and can increase fabric flammability. Check the care labels and product restrictions before washing.

Taking a break from Downy

Smells great and makes clothes soft. So why the low rating? After sitting on the shelf for a little while, it gets so thick that it won't rinse out of the dispenser, which makes it useless. This isn't the first time it's happened with Downy, which is a shame because it's one of my favorites. I called the company and they told me to add water and shake it. That didn't work.

You need this. I've tried 11 different products over the years, and this has been my go-to for 5 years now. I still keep the original as a backup in case this one isn't available. I highly recommend the $7 size since you get twice as much for your money, and you don't have to use much. Your clothes will feel and smell amazing.

Favorite softener scent

Light, pleasant scent. I don't use softener in every load since it can build up, but when I do, this is the one.

This softener smells amazing and the scent lasts a long time. It's my favorite one, and the bottle lasts ages too.

A scent that really feels calming

[Incentivized review]

Downy sent me this in exchange for an honest review.

It's really easy to handle since the cap doubles as the measuring cup. Using it couldn't be simpler, I just pour a capful into the softener dispenser and that's it.
I loved the lavender and vanilla scent. It's a soft, warm, relaxing blend that stays on clothes after washing without being too strong. My favorite part is putting on freshly washed clothes and getting that nice scent all over again. Beyond the fragrance, it makes clothes noticeably softer and nicer to touch. The lavender and vanilla make doing laundry a lot more enjoyable. If you want clothes that smell clean and calming, I definitely recommend it.

My softener for life

I'll be using Downy Calm Lavender and Vanilla forever.
It makes all my clothes feel so soft, and the lavender vanilla scent is just right without being overpowering.

A soothing lavender vanilla scent that lasts, with nice softness

[Incentivized review]

The vanilla keeps the lavender from smelling like medicine or straight floral perfume. It's soothing, soft, and not too strong, and it gives clothes and bedding a cozy, fresh scent.

I've seen little to no residue on my clothes. Used the right way, it leaves fabric soft without any greasy, sticky, or coated feeling.

The texture is great. It's not too thick, so it pours and measures easily, and it doesn't feel like heavy, syrupy softener.

The scent holds up surprisingly well. I can still pick it up on clothes, and especially sheets, after washing and drying.

It dissolves and spreads out well during the rinse. Using it in the softener dispenser, I haven't had any clumps, buildup, or spots.

    Downy Calm lavender and vanilla bean has a light, clean scent that works for my whole family. I've used it for years. It smells great, dissolves well, and makes my clothes softer, and it doesn't gunk up my dispenser like other brands have.

    [Incentivized review] The vanilla keeps the lavender from smelling medicinal or like straight floral perfume. It's relaxing, soft, and not overpowering, and it gives clothes and bedding a cozy, fresh scent. I've noticed little to no residue on my clothes. Used properly, it leaves fabric soft without feeling greasy, sticky, or coated. The consistency is great.

    [Incentivized review] I love this softener's calming fragrance, which makes it perfect for bedding. My laundry stays soft and smells great for days. Even though the bottle is big, it's easy to pour into our washer's softener compartment. I'd definitely consider buying it again.

    [Incentivized review] It smells really nice in the bottle and makes my clothes smell great. Clothes come out soft and clean, and I think it's a great value for a container this size.

    [Incentivized review] I've been adding this to my regular laundry routine and absolutely love how my clothes and everything else smell! A full cap is all you need for a bigger load. It dissolves nicely in the wash and doesn't stain clothes. It definitely makes everything smell nice! I'd buy it again, and in other scents if they're available.
