Hate the new formula! Bring back the old

I have purchased the old product for years and would drive all over to find the refills. I was having trouble finding them and bought a regular size container. I noticed the liquid looked a little different but boy is it different when you actually use it. It is horrible! I will not buy it again. So sad as I loved the old formula. It was fantastic for the kitchen. Softsoap you messed up big time. Bring back the old formula!
Cons: Difficult To Use, Doesn't lather, Not much thicker than water, Poor Lather, Unpleasant Smell
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We finally ran out of our refills for the old version of this product and I went to the store today only to find out it's been discontinued. The new product is nothing like the old one. It doesn't lather the same and the smell is not nearly as fresh as the original formula. I'm so disappointed! If it's not broken, don't fix it! Now I have to find a new brand because the new formula might as well be dollar store soap for the lack of quality compared to the original formula!
Cons: Poor Lather, Unpleasant Smell

This product does not come close to the old Kitchen Fresh Hands. I can't really say anything positive about it. We bo ught two bottles and have to make our way through those and tben find something else. Takes twice as much soap to get half the lather. Wait a second. Twice as much product? Hmmm. Nahhh! They wouldn't do tbat.

I agree with the other reviews, this new formula is awful!!! They should have kept the original formula as it was great! I usually don't always buy name brand products but I was a loyal buyer of this soap for the kitchen. It definitely doesn't smell as good and doesn't lather as well. I will be buying another brand of soap going forward unless they bring back the original formula. Sorry Softsoap, you messed up on this one.

Why would you discontinue the previous Kitchen Fresh Hands product? I bought it specifically because it was NOT antibacterial. Antimicrobials have been shown to be ineffective in hand soaps and likely contribute to the already out of control antibiotic resistance problems we are currently dealing with. I don't want antibiotics in my hand soap, and I definitely do not want them in my kitchen. Not happy. Will look elsewhere for appropriate hand soap for kitchen use.
Cons: Antibacterial
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We have recently updated the formulation of our Softsoap Kitchen Fresh Hands Liquid Hand Soap. We will let our brand team know that you preferred our non-antibacterial formula. Perhaps you would be interested in trying our Softsoap Kitchen Citrus Bliss Foaming Hand Soap which is a non-antibacterial formula. You can learn more about this product here: http://www.softsoap.com/hand-soap/citrus-soap-foaming If we can be of further assistance, please feel to reach out to us at 1-800-255-7552.
I've used the soft soap kitchen fresh hands for years and loved the old formula. The new formula is watery and doesn't lather well, which is a must somewhere like the kitchen. Further, soap doesn't need to be "antibacterial" as research demonstrates that this could lead to resistant bacteria. Regular soap is effective for keeping your hands clean in the home. Please bring back the old formula.
Cons: Poor Lather
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I couldn't find the original Kitchen lemon soap I normally use anywhere so I bought this hoping it would be similar. Not At All! Like others have commented, it doesn't lather like the other, the smell isn't even close. I didn't feel that my hands were clean and it didn't work well in the built-in pump next to my kitchen sink. I would like to know where I can by the original kitchen soap with the little beads. Why change something that works?!?! If it is discontinued, I will be looking for another brand of soap that does what the old one did.
Cons: Poor Lather, Unpleasant Smell
