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.

We're sorry to hear that this has been your experience, and we hope that you're doing well. We can assure you that our Dawn Original has been thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed. As well, a lot of thought goes into creating features that we think you'll like. We'll be sure to share your comments with the rest of our team, and we do recommend that you discontinue use of this particular product, if you haven't already. We suggest giving another Dawn version a try, as we have a variety of scents available. We also offer our Dawn Free & Clear Fragrance-Free. So that we can learn more and gather some additional details for our Safety Team, please give us a call at (800) 725-3296 when you have a chance.

Your lifelong loyalty means the world to us, and 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, 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. For your hands, a mid hand soap should help dissipate the scent. 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.
