New Scent is Horrible!

New scent is terrible! Leaves a lingering scent on my dishes that smells like bad shampoo. My family has been using dawn for several decades, and unfortunately that stops now. CHANGE THE SCENT BACK, DAWN!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry you aren't happy with the recent change in Dawn's Original Scent, and it is lingering on your dishes. Our products undergo many quality checks to ensure they get to you with the best results. If your Dawn dish soap is leaving a residue on your dishes and leaving a scent, while this isn't something we would expect, there could be a few potential causes for this issue:
Soap buildup: Over time, dish soap can accumulate on dishes, especially if they are not rinsed thoroughly or if too much soap is used. This buildup can leave a residue and scent. Make sure you are rinsing your dishes thoroughly with clean water after washing them.
Hard water: If you have hard water in your area, it can interact with the dish soap and leave behind mineral deposits on your dishes, which can appear as a residue. Consider using a water softener or an additional rinse aid to counteract the effects of hard water.
Incorrect dosage: Using too much dish soap can result in excessive suds and residue. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the recommended amount of soap to use.
Quality of water: If your water quality is poor, it can affect the performance of your dish soap. Water with high mineral content or impurities can interfere with the effectiveness of the soap and leave behind residue. In such cases, using a water filter may help.
Heat: Some thinner plastics / non-durable plastics can undergo thermal transformations when exposed to a lot of heat, which could cause the color shift

The new dawn scent is horrible!! It is way too strong and overpowering and the scent lingers on dishes even after drying. I don’t want to smell strong cleaning product smell while I’m eating. Please bring the old dawn back or at least give us an option of buying “original scent”. I think you can tell by the reviews of many that your loyal customers are not happy about this change and it would be wise to consider our feedback.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Dawn used to smell like dish soap. Now it smells like baby shampoo doused with Febreeze and is so overpowering that it can be smelled all over the house whenever dishes are washed. We are changing brands.

The new scent is nauseating. I gag every time I’ve used it. I will be returning it and switching brands.

I recently purchased the Dawn Ultra with the new clean scent and I can't even use it. It smells horrible and gives me a headache. One of the main reasons I used Dawn is because I loved the original scent. Why get rid of a good thing?

I am so glad I’m not the only one finding the new scent repulsive. I also felt like my bottle didn’t last near as long. Found a bottle of the old scent and can definitely tell a difference in scrubbing. I will be looking for a new dish soap unfortunately.
