“New Clean Scent” is terrible and overpowering. Never thought I’d need to find a new dish detergent, but here we are. I have purchased Dawn my entire adult life, but I will not buy it anymore unless they switch back. I will also be returning the bottle I just purchased.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

"New Clean Scent" is a chemical nightmare and is nothing like the original scent we have all relied upon for so many years. Dawn original (classic) is/was my go to for cleaning everything including clothing and just washing my hands all day. Please please do not wash the baby ducks with the New Clean Scent! I have tried everywhere to find remaining containers of the original scent - but stores are stocking up on bad chemical smell New Clean Scent. HELP all of us Dawn and bring back the classic original scent. If anyone knows of a dupe I will gladly shop that product. For now, my Dawn purchases are on strike.

We're sorry to learn you're not a fan of the recently tweaked Original Scent of Dawn Ultra. While we work very hard to make sure you'll always have a happy nose, making every single one smile is a very difficult challenge. We do apologize that you're not enjoying the scent update. Regarding the role Dawn's played, helping clean animals who are victimized by environmental disasters, Dawn dishwashing liquid has been a great assistant to wildlife conservation organizations, who are specially trained to use the soap to improve the likelihood of the animal's survival. If you'd like some help to find another version of Dawn that'll give you the clean you want and need, with a scent that's more to your liking, give us a call any Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST. Our number is 1 (800) 725-3296.
I won’t be buying this product anymore. The new scent is terrible and lingers. It stays on the item after you rinse. The last straw for me was when I made my eggs on a pan washed with the new scented Dawn and I could smell it while cooking the eggs. Please go back to the original scent. We’re all begging you.

Thank you for reaching out to Dawn and sharing your experience and thoughts. Your meal shouldn't be affected by the dish soap you're using, and we're so sorry to learn you had this experience. Please know, we don't expect any version of Dawn to impart the taste of the product onto food. However, if the soap isn't completely rinsed off, or if the dishes have become porous, it is possible. If certain items always pick up a flavor, they're probably worn to the point of being porous. Take care not to soak these dishes and to rinse them immediately. It might help to know that cast iron and plastic items can absorb flavors. You may consider giving Dawn Free & Clear a try, as it has the lightest scents and may be the best option for you. If you'd like to learn more about this possibility, please call us at 1 (800) 725-3296 any Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST.
They changed the smell of the dish soap. It sticks to dishes and food. I wouldn’t trust it to wash a duck anymore. I grew up using this product all the time, but we won’t be buying this anymore. The smell is just disgusting now that it’s been sticking to everything we clean.

Your newest bottle of Dawn Ultra with Original Scent should clean your dishes well and leave them with nothing but shine. We're sorry you've been struggling with the scent update, and want to assure you that, when thoroughly rinsed, all Dawn dish soaps rinse cleanly away. If your dishes are holding onto the scent, it's possible they need more rinsing. It should also be noted that plastic-wear grows porous with age, and can absorb scent more easily with wear. If this is the case, don't soak the dishes, but wash and rinse them quickly. We'd be happy to talk further with you about this, and help you find a new Dawn favorite to try, such as a version from our Free & Clear line. Currently, we have two varieties available. One has a light Lemon Essence scent. The other is Fragrance Free. Call us if you'd like to learn more about these options. We're here weekdays, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST. Dial 1 (800) 725-3296.
New scent is terrible and clings to everything. I have to work twice as hard to get the smell out. It sticks to my pans and my air fryer and literally makes my food smell and taste like soap if I don’t work hard to scrub out the smell. Never had to do this with the original scent. Switching brands is the only option

I always used to buy dawn it was my go to everyday soap and now with this new awful smell i can no longer tolerate it. I bought one bottle to check it out and the smell was so strong it gave me a headache and stuck on the dishes. Bring back the original scent get rid of the “clean” scent

The "new clean scent" is horrendous!!! This scent smells disgusting, like rotten flowers, and is dangerous for asthmatics with fragrance allergies. It certainly can't be used on dishes, the smell is problematic! There was nothing wrong with the original scent. Trusted this brand for 35+ years, swore by it and recommended to everyone from everything to dishes to laundry to cleaning, but not anymore. Do better, Dawn!

The new smell is awful. I’m so disappointed because I love the product but I won’t be able to use it. Smells so artificial. I doubt it’s a product that will be able to be used to help wildlife in oil spills anymore.
