NEW CLEAN SCENT IS AWFUL...

The "New Clean Scent" is Horrible I've only ever purchased Dawn's Original Dish Soap and sadly will no longer be purchasing any Dawn Products. My hope is that they get enough complaints and decide to go back to the original scent. P&G's R&D really did a poor job on this, they should have rolled out the Clean Scent as an additional option not a total replacement. If it ain't broke don't fix it...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

There are not enough negative words in the English language to describe how much I HATE the new scent. I had to give 1 star to leave a review but it is ZERO stars. I have never written a review in my entire life but I am so disgusted with the new Dawn scent that I had to write a review. I have used Dawn my entire adult life but I will NEVER use it again because this new scent is absolutely atrocious. It is nauseating. It is disgusting. And as others have said, the smell stays on your dishes. The first time I used it on my water bottle that I take to work, I couldn't even drink the water for lunch. It tasted like perfume. I rinsed the bottle many, many times and the smell and taste will not go away. I have not been able to drink out of it since. How is this even possible!?!? What did you put in this that it sticks to all of your dishes!?!? Thanks Proctor and Gamble. Are you going to give all of your customers the money it's going to cost us to replace all of our dishes that are now ruined. Also, my favorite cup to drink out of at home is stainless steel and has a rubber handle and the smell will not come out of that. Every time I take a drink, it smells and tastes like old rancid perfume that's been in the cupboard for 50 years. I am going to try soaking them in vinegar and water to see if the smell will come out. This is ridiculous that I should even have to do this!!!! Whoever invented this new scent and whoever approved it should be fired immediately. I cannot believe that ANYONE thought that this was a good idea. You have lost a customer. I will NEVER purchase Dawn again.

DO NOT BUY!!! This has only been used for 2 days and the whole family HATES the new smell!!! It's like washing your dishes in dirty socks. Trust me this company is about to feel what losing $300 million a week feels like real quick!

I didn't notice the previous change in scent because I wasn't buying much Dawn at the time having a dishwasher and all.. I moved into a house without a dishwasher and won't get around to remodeling the kitchen to have one until next year... That aside, I've been buying more Dawn than before and I'm completely dissatisfied with this new scent and am switching brands immediately. I've used Dawn for over 30 years and I'm done. Get your stuff together proctor & gamble!!

Your input is vital in helping us improve our products and ensure that we deliver the best possible experience to our customers. Your feedback will be instrumental in guiding the Dawn Team as they continue to work on future innovations.

I bought this and couldn't figure out what was wrong with the scent and then I realized it was not original. So I tried to get original. I bought up all the old original scent the grocery store had. Because the new scent is horribly floral and just awful. I'm probably going to switch back to another brand until you bring back the original scent

I've been using the original blue Dawn only for many years. The new scent not only is too strong, but it lingers on our dishes. I don't often leave negative reviews, but I can't cant even finish the bottle of the new scent. Pleeeeease...change it back!

Your loyalty to Dawn over the years is very much appreciated, and we're sorry to hear that this has been your experience. We do put a lot of thought into creating features that we think you'll like, and we also have many quality checks to ensure that you can use our products with ease. We'll be sure to share your comments with the rest of our team. We'd like to mention that we wouldn't expect Dawn to impart the scent into your dishes. 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. We suggest not letting these items soak, and making sure to rinse them immediately. We hope this is helpful, and please give us a call at (800) 725-3296 if there's anything more we can assist you with.
The new clean scent is so overpowering and awful that I have to switch products. I'm a lifelong user of Dawn and I cannot believe the company did something so senselessly stupid to render their product unusable.

For questions please call (800) 725-3296.
The new “clean” sent is horrendous. It smells like bathroom cleaner and has made all of our dishes smell like someone just got done in the bathroom and has covered up the odor with a terrible air freshener. It’s absolutely nauseating and a HUGE mistake by the company to change it. Perhaps P&G should learn that change for the sake of change is a horrible business practice. Dawn used to be the best dish soap money could buy and now it’s nothing more than a stinky product taking up shelf space in the stores.
I will attempt to try the free and clear version, but the question still remains: why change a good thing?!?
