New Smell Is Awful
on December 17, 2024
Posted by: Sarahek
from Wisconsin
The new smell is awful and I’m so disappointed. The smell is cloying and the odor and taste linger on dishes. Please please bring back the original scent!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear that this has been your experience. We do have many quality checks in place to ensure that you can use our products with ease, and we can assure you that our Dawn Original has been thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed. We also put a lot of thought into creating features that we think you'll like. We wouldn't expect Dawn to impart the product scent/taste into your dishes. However, if the soap isn't completely rinsed off, or if the dishes have become porous, it's possible. If certain items always pick up a flavor, they're probably worn to the point of being porous, and we suggest that you don't soak these items and instead rinse them off immediately. Your comments will be shared with our team, and we do recommend that you discontinue use of this particular product, if you haven't already. For a lighter scent, we suggest checking out our Dawn Free & Clear. We also offer our Dawn Free & Clear Fragrance-Free. So that we can learn more and gather some additional details for our Safety and Quality Teams, please give us a call at (800) 725-3296 when you can.

Why? Would you change the scent everyone loves?
on January 5, 2025
Posted by: Dawn original lover
Please bring back the old scent. The new scent was so strong I had to throw the whole bottle away. The scent lingered on the dishes and made the food taste like perfume. Please switch back. You have lost a customer.

We're sorry to hear that this was your experience, as our Dawn Original has gone through many quality checks to ensure that you can enjoy using it with ease. We wouldn't expect the product to impart a scent onto your dishes/food. However, if the soap hasn't been rinsed off completely, or if the dishes have become worn to the point of being porous, it's possible. For dishes that seem to pick up a scent, we suggest making sure not to soak them and instead rinse them immediately. As well, a lot of thought goes into our products, and this fragrance change was implemented after receiving positive feedback during extensive testing with consumers. We'll be sure to share your comments with our team. For a lighter scent, we recommend checking out our Dawn Free & Clear. We also offer our Dawn Free & Clear Fragrance-Free.

Scent Change was a BAD Decision
on January 8, 2025
Posted by: TracyJay
from Texas
The smell is horrible, especially when it goes down the drain and smells rotten (didn't happen with previous scent and doesn't happen now with other detergents...it is *this* scent). Scent absorbs into silicone spatulas and is released into food during cooking (old scent didn't and other detergents don't), which can be smelled and tasted in the food itself regardless of how much clean water is used to rinse them after washing. This is how a company loses loyal customers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Your loyalty means a lot to us, Tracy, so we're very sorry for your disappointment with the Dawn Original Dishwashing Liquid scent change. This is the first scent change for Dawn Original in over 10 years, but please be assured that we value your feedback greatly and are sharing it with the rest of our Dawn Team. Consumer feedback is vital in helping us improve our products and ensuring that we deliver the best possible experience to our consumers; it’s also instrumental in guiding the Dawn Team as they continue to work on future innovations. In regard to the scent lingering on your dishes and affecting your food, we wouldn't expect this to be your experience, 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 and should be washed by hand. It might help to know that cast iron and plastic items can absorb flavors. To remove the scent/taste, please soak the dishes in hot water with some distilled white vinegar added. We hope this was helpful, but we'd like to learn more about your experience, try to make things right, and tell you more about our Dawn Free & Clear version that offers our lightest scent. Please give us a call at (800) 725-3296 so we can help you best.

HATE NEW SCENT
on January 8, 2025
Posted by: AGlass
Hate the new smell - it’s overwhelming and leaves residual on dishes and hands. Also find the new formula to be too slick. It’s far easier to drop the dishes.

Horrible new scent

Posted by: Becky2
from Chester, NJ
Horrible scent in new Dawn. Makes me so allergic, And worse is that it is so strong, especially for dishes etc that are for food. What were you thinking P@G? Yuck.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from dawn-dish.comBy Customer Care, February 3, 2025
Thanks, Becky, for sharing your concerns with your recently purchased bottle of Dawn Ultra Original with Clean scent. Because your safety is our top priority, we test that all ingredients, and products made with those ingredients, are safe. Based on what you shared we do recommend discontinuing use of this Dawn. We hope you'll give our Dawn 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 in order to make a complete report to our Safety Team, and to help you further. Please hang on to the product and give us a call at (800) 725-3296 Monday-Friday 9 AM - 6 PM EST. We hope to talk further with you soon.

BRING BACK THE OG SCENT PLEASEEEE
on January 27, 2025
Posted by: indigo89
The soap works like how it did before, but honestly I want to find another dish soap because this new smell is genuinely nauseating. I was washing the dishes like a nice, thoughtful little daughter, and I realized it smelled weird. It's got a kind of weird floral/fruity/chemically scent?? I don't know, but it was so nasty, I'm not joking, my stomach was starting to hurt from the smell. Anyways, PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU, JUST BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL SCENT, THIS NEW ONE SMELLS SO BAD.
