Stinky!!!

Ugh. This stuff freaking stinks. I haven’t had to buy a bottle in a while and the most recent one freaking stinks. The smell/flavor lingers on dishes and is very off putting.

We're sorry you're disappointed with the scent of you recent purchase of Dawn, and have found the smell/flavor lingering on your dishes. Extensive research and consumer testing goes into our products to create appealing features, and our products undergo stringent quality controls to ensure performance and safety. When the soap scent lingers on your dishes, there could be a few potential causes for this happening. Over time, dish soap buildup can accumulate on dishes. Also, if you have hard water, it can interfere with the effectiveness of the soap and leave behind residue (using a water filter may help). For best results, add about 2 tablespoons of dish soap to the sink, then add water that’s 105-115°F. We don't recommend leaving to soak long term, but to wash promptly, and rinse the dishes thoroughly with clean water. We take your satisfaction very seriously, and our Dawn Team would like to learn more about your experience to further assist you. Please give us a call at 1-800-725-3296 from 9AM -- 6PM EST Monday–Friday.
Works as advertised but I cannot get over the horrendous scent. Bring back the original Dawn scent.

Thank you so much for your review. While we're thrilled that it had great grease-fighting power, we're sorry it didn't have a scent you enjoyed. While scent preferences will vary from person to person, feedback is important, so we'd like to connect and ensure your voice about the scent change is heard. Please call us at (800) 725-3296.
I love the way it takes the grease off my dishes! Love the scent! Love the no mess spill proof bottle! It’s the best for your money! Just the best!! Very environmentally friendly!!

What happened to the suds?
on July 28, 2025
Posted by: Old and tired
I remember when original Dawn dish soap first came on the market. It truly did create more Suds than any other soap. But not anymore! The suds don't even last through one sink full of dishes.

We appreciate you sharing this with us, and for your loyalty to Dawn. A lack of suds/bubbles does not mean the product is not cleaning your dishes. Even if there are very few suds, the solution will carry on cleaning the dishes. Using a scouring pad or washing a lot of extra greasy dishes can make the suds disappear more rapidly. If you prefer more suds, more dishwashing soap can be added to help increase the amount of suds. If you have any questions, give us a call at (800) 725-3296.
The new scent is overpowering. It makes me feel sick, and lingers on my hands and dishes. Please bring back the old scent!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Our products undergo thorough testing to ensure they're always safe for use as directed, and we do extensive research when we design product features, like scents, to make sure we're meeting the needs/preferences of our consumers. We're sorry to hear that you're unhappy with the scent of your Dawn Ultra, and that the smell made you feel sick, as this isn't the experience we want or expect you to have, and we're grateful you brought it to our attention. If you're concerned with how the product is affecting you, please discontinue use.
To remove the scent from your dishes, soak the items in hot water with some distilled white vinegar added to it, or if they're dishwasher safe, pour some vinegar into the bottom of the dishwasher and directly into the dispenser, then run them through the machine. It may take a couple of cycles, but the smell will come out. Additionally, you can rewash your hands with mild hand soap to remove the scent.
Your satisfaction is important to us, and we hope you'll give Dawn another try. We have a variety of scents if the Original no longer meets your needs, including an unscented version called Dawn Free and Clear, Unscented. We'd love to help you find the right product for you and assist further with this. Please hold on to your product and give us a call at (800) 725-3296, any time from 9:00AM-6:00PM EST Monday-Friday, so we can help!
The new scent smelled pleasant at first but lingers way too long on dishes and skin and quickly becomes overpowering and sickening. I will be switching to a different brand

Purchased my Dawn as I have been doing for over 25 years. When filling my sink caddy and doing dishes, there was an overpowering scent that I was not familiar with. I was shocked when I realized it was the Dawn. Two things: 1. The scent is awful and sickening; 2. There is NO indication on the bottle that this is a “new scent”. I find it nauseating and will be bringing it back in hopes that the store will issue a refund. I will be searching for a we dish soap until the old Dawn returns!

We thank you for sharing your feedback on our recent change to Dawn Ultra Original. We know this is the first change in over 10 years, and that scent preference can be very personal. We're sorry to hear you are not a fan of the new scent. Please rest assured that we value your feedback greatly, and we will relay it to our Research and Development team. We'd recommend giving our Dawn E-Z Squeeze Free & Clear Fragrance-Free a try, as it has all of the cleaning power of Dawn with no added scent. We'd love to hear more about your experience and help you locate this version of Dawn. Please give us a call at (800) 725-3296 Monday-Friday 9 AM - 6 PM EST.
