Not Hypoallergenic
I have used Bounce 'Outdoor Fresh' scent for years, and decided to try something new. Unfortunately, I have sensitivity to some fragrances and these particular dryer sheets make it difficult to breathe. Because this does not occur with the Bounce 'Outdoor Fresh' scent, I don't think that the sheets are 'absorbing odors in transit' as the company claims. It is very disappointing that Bounce is trying to market this as hypoallergenic when it actually isn't.
The scent has changed
I have used this product for many years without issue.
There was always a mild scent, it was never truly scent free but now there is a horrid smell to this most recent box and I see others have found the same.
For those of us who suffer from allergies, asthma, sense sensitivities this is a concern.
If you were going to change your product, I would recommend you indicate same on the packaging.
Very disappointed customer!

Not the same as free and clear?
I have always used bounce free and clear due to fragrance allergies and now this box of free & gentle has a distinct fragrance smell to it. Seems like the product has changed and not for the better.

Our Free & Gentle sheets should be scent-free while still providing the same awesome softness and static-fighting power, so we definitely want to look into this! Give us a call at (800) 526-8623, we'd like to learn more so we can try to help.

No longer unscented
I have been using Bounce free and clear for years. I recently bought a new box and it is not unscented as stated. I had to put the box outside until I could return it. I doubted my own senses until I read the reviews. I have extremely sensitive skin and this product is falsely claiming it is scent free. Judging from the recent reviews here, you need to address these complaints instead of defending your product. Something has definitely changed.

We're very sorry to hear that you've had this experience! We certainly want to look into this further, as our Free & Gentle sheets should be 100% scent free while still providing the same awesome softening and static-fighting power as our scented products. Please give us a call at (800) 526-8623 when you have a moment.

Fragrance
I have used Bounce Free and clear ( now states free and gentle) for years due to severe allergies to fragrance. for years due to severe allergies. But, the last 2-4 times of purchase, I have noticed a fragrance and that box now states free and gentle. Please explain why you added scent. The shelves are loaded with scented products. I feel discriminated against. Even Febreeze makes a free and clear product that works. Please address.
Thank you

Excellent
I love these. They do have a faint scent but not strong enough to be irritating. I keep them in my linen closet to keep my bed sheets smelling outdoor fresh.
Yes, I recommend this product!

This product is NOT unscented.
I am extremely sensitive to scents and perfumes. I have purchased many supposedly scent-free dryer sheets that had a detectable scent. I was so grateful to Bounce for producing truly odor-free dryer sheets. Imagine my shock to recently purchase a box of Bounce "Free and Gentle" sheets only to find that it has a distinct perfume. You can smell it on the box before even opening it, smell it on the sheets, and in the clothing after it comes out of the dryer. Your product description clearly states "without perfumes or dyes". What gives? I am not the only reviewer who has remarked on this. Please don't tell me "it must have picked up the scent from a nearby product" or "the sheets have a natural scent" because your previous sheets were indeed SCENT-FREE!

We understand your shock! We can assure you that our Free & Gentle dryer sheets are truly made without added fragrance. Please know that because they're porous, it's possible for them to absorb strong scents around them during shipping or storage. They shouldn't leave a scent on your clothes. This absolutely isn't the high quality experience we expect you to have with our dryer sheets, and we're determined to help make this up to you. So we can, please give us a call at (800) 526-8623.

Bounce is best
Bounce Free and Gentle has been our fabric softener of choice for ever. It certainly helps defeat static electricity and it does so without triggering any allergies.
Yes, I recommend this product!

Has something changed?
I have bought Bounce Free and Gentle for many years since two of my kids had lots of allergies and I came to love it too because I don't want my clothes to smell like perfumes. About a week ago I bought a 160 ct box and there is now a distinct perfume smell to the dryer sheets. I went and dug my old box out of my recycling bin and could not smell any scent. I returned the box of dryer sheets and exchanged for another box. I even went to two different stores so I wouldn't take the chance of getting it from the same case. This new box also has a distinct perfume smell. Whatever is going on with these dryer sheets is not good for all of your customers who have depended on a free and gentle product for years.
Yes, I recommend this product!

We're glad that you were able to return that box, as it definitely didn't meet our high standards. Although fragrance isn't added to the Free & Gentle dryer sheets, they do have a natural scent. Also, it may be helpful to know that if they're stored or shipped with strongly scented products, they may absorb some of that scent. We can understand your disappointment, but we want to assure you that this isn't the experience we expect and we've passed this along to our team. If there's anything else we can help with, please give us a call at (800) 526-8623.
